No evidence he ever wrote that. However he is on some radio programme
somewhere saying that he won't be watching - so the two don't seem to
tally.
Oh come one Steve...it was printed all over the media including the
official
BBC Dr Who website. Instead of refuting all the facts can you give
evidence
of the "horror" Fincham has spoken of? You made these claims and seem
un-willing to back them up. Why is it you believe everyone at the Beeb is
desperate for the show to fail when there is no evidence to back this up
*at
all*. Indeed, all the evidence points very much to the contrary.
Because it's the BBC. Enough said.

Breakthrough Billie!
Billie Piper crowned "Breakthrough Artist of 2005" at The South Bank Show
Awards
Billie Piper has won the prize for Breakthrough Artist of the year at the
prestigious South Bank Show Awards on 27 January, voted for by readers of
The Times. Doctor Who itself was one of three programmes nominated in the
TV Drama category, but ultimately lost out to Channel 4's Elizabeth I.
On accepting her award from Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe, Billie
thanked Doctor Who producers Julie Gardner and Phil Collinson (both of whom
were also at the ceremony) and Russell T Davies, as well as the rest of the
cast and crew. "I'm having the time of my life at the moment, and this just
makes it even better," Billie added.
After the ceremony, she told ITV's TV Plus how she hopes to stay in Doctor
Who for another year. "I am up for a third series as long as they [the BBC]
are up for it." Billie also mentioned the kiss she shares with David
Tennant, which was seen briefly in the trailer at the end of The Christmas
Invasion. "We do have the pash, but you will have to wait and see how it
develops. The kissing scene did involve three takes - but no tongues!"
She also spoke about her new role as Sally Lockhart which she is due to
start recording in May. "I'll be trading my jeans and sweats for period
costume," she said. "It's going to be a real experience, and I can't wait
to play a lead role."
Doctor Who has also picked up the award for Best Drama Series at the
Broadcast awards. The series beat the four other nominees, Blackpool,
Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky, The Rotters' Club, and last year's
winner Shameless. Doctor Who was represented by Julie Gardner, Designer
Edward Thomas and Production Manager Tracie Simpson at the ceremony.
Meanwhile, there was triumph after triumph at BBC Drama's own awards, which
were voted for by viewers on the BBC website. Doctor Who won every
category, namely Best Drama, Best Actor (for Christopher Eccleston, with
David Tennant in second place), Best Actress (for Billie Piper), Best
Villain (for the Daleks, with the Emperor Dalek in fifth place and five
others placed in the Top 20), for Best Moment (for the return of the Daleks,
with the Doctor's regeneration in second place); and for Most Desirable Star
(for Billie Piper, with David Tennant second, Christopher Eccleston third
and John Barrowman fourth!).
Russell T Davies tells us, "It is wonderful to see Doctor Who being
recognised so publicly, and by such very different awards, right across the
board. But I remember when I was young, watching awards shows and being
completely baffled - where was Tom Baker? How could he not win everything,
twice?! So it's a nice feeling, at long last, to see people - not just the
public, but industry juries - voting for this lovely show. And as I always
say, it's not only a tribute to BBC Wales, but to that team who forged the
show together all the way back in 1963. We salute them!"
