Confidential, Cut Down
I've praised Doctor Who and the BBC in the fanzine for bringing us such an informative behind-the-scenes look at our favourite show, in the form of Doctor Who Confidential . Educational for adults and children alike, it was the perfect companion for a show that has single-handily revived big budget family drama in the UK. After watching an episode of DWC , with its detailed look at how an episode was made, how certain effects were done etc - how many people would learn off that? How many children would say how 'cool' it is, and then be inspired to be an actor/director/effects maker etc, after watching it? But now its been axed . Anyone who knows me will know how much I utterly despise reality shows that involve singing. You've got corporations and networks spending millions, so that greedy record companies can leech off some kid for a year, before they move on to someone else to carry on their vampiric tendencies. It doesn't inspire anybody...
