Quick! It's started!

Good article here criticising the BBC's cak-handedness with the scheduling of Doctor Who. I won't repeat it, other than to agree that, what with the current fluid approach to the schedule, and now the news that the series is to skip a week for the Eurovision Song Contest, it seems a perverse and foolhardy way to treat the show that has galvanized Saturday nights for them. It brings to mind the Monty Python gag about the number of exams you have to fail to work in programme planning, and that was made almost 30 years ago.
