Doctor Who faces extermination...

Really hope this doesn't come to pass, would be a shame to see the best British SciFi cancelled yet again!

^ You need to take one of the http's out of your link

Personally I can't really see this happening, it's the BBC flagship show and the highest ratings of any show all week. If Mr Davis does leave he'll pass the rains onto somebody else. Plus everyone knows not to trust what you read in The Sun.

Yeah, and after cancelling Dr Who the BBC will cancel eastenders and the news.

I dont think so somehow.

Wouldn't that follow all the trend of all the really cool networks? Cancel the shows people like to see and queue up more reality TV or celebrity judged game fitness/model/dating/game shows.

The BBC are making a ton off Dr Who toys, they arent going to kill the goose that laid a golden egg.

i realy don't see it happening as Dr Who is one of the Best sci-fi adventure show on the air....UK AND in the America right now. it as no competition realy.

When you love a pet, loosing it is like loosing a part of your soul. I lost part of mine on Feb 12 2008. Never will it be the same again.

I want to point out that it was The Sun that reported this first.

The Sun is one of the notorious Red top news papers that simply are a joke.

Last year they reported Tennant was leaving, to witch the bbc and himself said not for a long time yet. Tennant has at least another season on his contract.

Only a few weeks ago they said Freemas being axed as the writers didnt like her. Again its been proven to have no backing from the bbc or the writers. From what i understand Freemas doing really well the fans love her and the writers do too...

Now the Sun says whos being killed for good... Again another unfounded report from the sun who would say anything to sell news papers.

While i do beleave the part about davies wanting to move on they wouldnt killing who.

They wouldn't axe Who, as its popular,

As for Davies maybe he might go off and do another season of Torchwood
