BBC apologises over trailer furore


The BBC has issued an apology regarding a trailer for the reality show 'Over the Rainbow', which appeared during the final scenes of yesterday's episode of Doctor Who.  

The trailer, which showed an animated Graham Norton gyrating his hips, angered a huge number of Doctor Who fans who deemed it "unnecessary" and "disgusting."

"It resulted in destroying the tension for many of us, and we just don't want this in Doctor Who!" said one fan, from the popular Doctor Who forum, Gallifrey Base. "Why is the BBC treating its audience like idiots?" said another on Twitter.

A BBC spokesperson officially replied to the outrage, saying that they "apologise for the timing of Saturday night's trail."

The Time of Angels, which saw the return of the Weeping Angels, gained an average of 6.6 million viewers.
