Fern Britton: 'Doctor Who is the most dreary thing'
by Catriona Wightman (from Digital Spy)
I know some fans can't face any criticism, but while I disagree I can see where people are coming from sometimes when they criticise Doctor Who, say for being too silly, or daft, or funny, or not-real, or too complicated, or many other things that get trotted out.

The Royal Bodyguard fails to defend its viewing figures
by Tim Glanfield (from Radio Times)
Just 2.61 million viewers (a 10 per cent audience share) tuned in to watch the David Jason vehicle between 9pm and 9:30pm on BBC1. The figures represent a consistent downward curve for the programme's ratings, which started at the dizzy heights of 7.1 million on Boxing Day before falling to 4.5 million viewers a week later and just 2.9 million viewers for its third episode last week.I've not watched it, but it did look dreadful, something these figures really bear out.
