Doctor Who Confidential Cancelled

So they've gone and cancelled Doctor Who Confidential.  As predicted fans are up in arms; the same fans who probably gave up watching it when they made longer.  Before it was short, snappy and interesting.  Now we have padding that lets us follow some poor berk as they spend most of their day standing around in between takes.  Snore...

I could be mean and say the only good ones were the ones that had the catering truck in them.  But in the early days, and from time to time since, confidential could be interesting.  Sadly it was getting less so, and less often.  Think of it as a mercy killing before it started to drool and piss the carpet.

As for the who fans, they just need something to get enraged about.  Be it the Moff vs RTD or classic vs nuwho.  If a who fan sits alone without getting upset their heads explode.  Sure a million nerds venting on the internet is messy but not in a "clean up with a mop" kind of way.  As always there is an online petition that will get ignored.  They'll no doubt be organising a mass ( probably over 10 of them!) march to downing street.  Its gone people and you didn't watch it anyway (don't kid yourself that you were waiting for the DVDs to watch it then). 

The only reason you are making a noise is you are worried it may lead to who being cancelled.  It won't.  Its not the same thing.  The BBC make a mint from who but that wasn't enough before and it isn't then.  But now who is a top rated show with world class actors and effects.  It dominates its time slot and gets great ratings.  If you don't understand the way ratings work then I be you are terrified off the overnights.  But if thats the case you're probably still worried about this new fangled technology and are out smashing looms you luddite!

Its over.  Was it good?  At times.  Will it be missed?  Yeah I'll think off it fondly.  Was it past its best and ready to retire?  Yeah.
