The headline says it all…. “How Time Lord Doctor Who took on Mrs Thatcher.”
Doctor Who actor Sylvester McCoy has claimed that scriptwriters of the cult TV show wrote material in the 1980s which was designed to undermine Margaret Thatcher’s government.
Who would have thought THAT then? I mean BBC scriptwriters are all such a balanced lot.
Take it you didn’t see the Newsnight interview with the Tory Tim Collins listing the right-wing BBC shows of past and present?
Ah, that would be because this site is designed specifically to show the BBC is biased in one direction, not BOTH ways.
Name one. I cannot remember seeing any right wing shows in the past 20 years. But if true, you are quite correct the BBC should not be bias either right or left but neutral.
right wing shows on the BBC? i can’t stop laughing, have you checked to see if your Cocaine hasn’t be laced?
We’re still waiting.
Go back to Gudio’s site and peddle your nonsense there Hoon.
Just think of all the right-wing “edgy” comedians the BBC employ !
Racing coverage is right wing especially the Grand National meeting.
That is by definition as all racing fans are toffs or forelock tuggers.
I am surprised the BBC staff have not held mass meetings to call for an end to it.
Apart from this cannot think of anything except the odd programme here and there on hobbies and eccentricities.
“..racing fans are toffs” Not necessarily Conservative toffs.
All that effort and for so little result. Margaret Thatcher served as Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990 despite all of Dr. Who’s efforts to save the world with sly innuendo.
First off, the headline is only partially correct.
It should say how Time Lord Dr.Who took on Margaret Thatcher *and lost* OK?
When will the BBC apologise for this attempt to undermine the Government – not short of treason?
I’m sure they’d apologise if there was an anti (insert whatever minority group here) slant anywhere and then an inquiry and much hand wringing with James Naughtie being very sincere about it.
But it is anti-right wing so nothing will happen.
Time to march on this scum and get our tax back.
Attempting to overthrow the government by getting a nice safe job at the BBC writing scripts for childrens TV programmes is a very genteel way to go about things. Hardly Scargillesque though.
I expect none of the BBC’s revolutionary staff were at the battle of Orgreave in 1984. They’d either have been at work crafting subversive dalek adventures or in Tuscany.

Striking how many luvvies have come to eulogise the Miners’ Strike in the past few years, long past the time when their support does any good to its supposed beneficiaries.
Whilst the good Doctor was given to bouts of universalist sentiment back in his glory days, he was still among the best of an intellectually-curious, self-restraining type at odds with the effusive, grievance-seeking luvvie that the character is now (deafeningly) portrayed as.
