Congratulations to all involved with Doctor Who on adding two more awards to the show’s bulging trophy cabinet. At the National TV Awards yesterday Dr Who once again won the Most Popular Drama award with outgoing star David Tennant winning Outstanding Drama Performance.
Tennant won the Outstanding Drama Performance award last year as well. Before that it was named Most Popular Actor with DT winning in 2007 and 2006. In 2005 it was won by the ninth Doctor, Christopher Eccleston. The show itself has also won Most Popular Drama five times.
So no pressure then on Steven Moffat and Matt Smith.

If you thought the idea of an American version of Being Human was a bad idea (I did. I do), how about a US Torchwood? Made by Fox of all people.
At the moment it’s only a rumour, no deal has been signed. However Fox are reported to be interested in making a US version of Torchwood. Clearly Torchwood America won’t be satisfied with provincial little plots but will be jetting around dealing with a “global storyline”.
One tiny crumb of comfort is that if it happens the new show is likely to be written by Russell T. Davies and include Julie Gardner on the production team. John Barrowman could even be along for the ride as Captain Jack.
Even so, the pressure to succumb to US TV style would be massive. And if a US Torchwood was worth watching it would probably be cancelled mid season.
