Moffat speaks out on Confidential axing

Showrunner Steven Moffat has been talking to Doctor Who Magazine about the axing of Doctor Who Confidential, and he had this to say:

“It seems hard to grasp. All shows have their time, and all shows end, but not, in all sanity, while people still watch and love them,” he says in the latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine. “And going by the numbers and the outcry, this show was watched and loved everywhere.”

He adds: “I’m not supposed to say it, but I’m going to anyway: bad day, bad decision. I know these are straitened times. I know we’re all at sea and the night is colder – but you don’t start burning the lifeboats to keep warm.

“Or to put it another way, you might want to think about the future if you’re planning to live there.”
Meanwhile, the petition to save Doctor Who Confidential is currently at over 45,000 signatures and you can do your bit by signing it here. The petition will be sent to the BBC Trust on October 28th.

Well said, Steven! Axing Confidential was a bad move on the Beebs part; hopefully this petition will get them to reverse their decision (nad possibly air the full length Confidentials in the US).
