The BBC’s turning the corner on two fronts; it’s getting back into games production and its going to allow Doctor Who to be included in the new generation.

Cause for concern? BBC backs Doctor Who
Here in the UK whenever there’s a political storm the Member of Parliament knows they’re in trouble whenever the Prime Minister is forced to publically back them.
