Sci Fi Channel rejects new Dr Who series?

[graculus]

Apparently the channel that's about to bring us Mansquito doesn't consider the new Dr Who with Christopher Ecclestone good enough to show: http://www.darkhorizons.com/news05/050303f.php

oh ffs!

Probably too intelligent for them!

It doesn't involve enough bugs/giant reptiles/man-eating mutants/scantily-clad women, I expect.

I'm sooo glad I'm in Canada. I've been waiting for this since they announced Davies was producing it.

For a moment there, I thought you were talking about Mansquito! :P

March 26th here for the new Dr Who apparently, so I expect it'll be online sometime early March 27th!

Umm, no.

The CBC is showing the first new Who on April 5, so I'm putting that date in red on my calendar. (I'm so behind on watching stuff that waiting the extra week isn't going to kill me.)

I'm in the State but I'm about 10 minutes from the border. Is this on a station I might be able to pick up?

CBC, our national broadcaster, is airing Who, starting April 5, so if you can get a CBC affiliate you're set. If not, I could tape 'em for you and bring them to MW, if you like.

Of course not it might just put what they are featuring to shame :-)

My DVD recorder is going to be busy. I love being Canadian sometimes and I love my CBC!

tsk tsk. How dare you mock such a fine piece of art such as Mansquito. Such a clever joke of a name, talented actors, fantastic writing, I'm sure. Beware, Orson Welles!!!

Errr, I guess not. ;)
