That doesn't read well in any language.
It seems the BBC are seriously losing ground on Parody Who. Do you remember when Dr Who was the toast of America. David Tennant and Matt Smith drew in impressive audience figures for BBC America. Now Dr Who no longer has that buzz about it. Nobody even bothers with the show, and it's pretty evident. Even merchandise sales have slumped dramatically. Just like Star Wars in the U.S. It seems the BBC can no longer rely on Dr Who, cos they've killed the show off themselves. The BBC are committed to one last season, I just hope this absolute embarassment is finally laid to rest. It's not done the legacy of Who any good.

The show needs an exceptionally long break. Seeing that the BBC "might" be broken up and downsized as a corporation, then maybe the show might comback in a new form. Whatever that new form will be. The BBC's days of great TV seem to be over.
