File under “Bears shit in the woods” – Dr Who luvvie hates the Tories.
Becoming part of the Dr Who team must be similar to joining The People’s Front of Judea:
“Can I join Dr Who?”
“No. Piss off.”
“But I hate the Tories as much as anybody.”
“Are you sure?”
“Oh, dead sure. I hate the Tories already.”
“Listen, if you wanted to join Dr Who, you’d have to really hate the Tories.”
“I do.”
“Oh yeah? How much?”
“A lot!”
(Pause) “Right. You’re in. But first, we might have another little job for you. How d’you fancy writing an episode of Basil Brush?”
Dr.Who has been a steaming pile of relentlessly peurile shit ever since its comeback. It doesn’t surprise me that people like Comrade Moffatt are shovelling it.
The weakness of this man’s argument- that commercial organisations would not make Dr Who- is laughable. If it is so profitable of course it would get made.
The man is a statist who happens to make a profitable drama. I suppose he would rather it cost fortunes and nobody watched it, provided of course it peddled the approved party line.
The endemic BBC mindset at full flow as per usual.
Quoted from Moffat in the article: “To me, a ‘brand’ sounds evil,” he says, “reminiscent of men in tall hats running factories and beating small children.
Absolutely ridiculous. No-one I know who has anything to do with brands would be seen dead in a tall hat.
Sound like the man’s politics are as outdated as his metaphors.
Dr Who was and is a pile of steaming leftie shit. However, it’s interesting that beeboids are happy to openly come out like this and state they hate the Tories.
Seems to me that either the BBC think the Tories won’t win the election or that they are too frightened to scrap the TV tax.
The Tories aren’t going to scrap the TV tax. Most of them are too soft, and could never get past the emotional attachment to the cultural heritage of the BBC to think about dismantling it. At most they’ll try for more top-slicing and talk about reducing the massive bureaucracy and excessive pay of the top management and stars. That’s enough to get the Beeboids plenty nervous, even without their visceral fear of the imaginary ThatcherLand they think they’ll get if Cameron wins the election.
If you have the misfortune to catch a minute or two of “Hotther than My Daughter” BBC TV 3 I think, you will see the set decorated with a poster of Hillary Clinton. They don’t even bother tryign to keep the bias subtle.
The funniest episode of the last “Who do you think you are?” series was David Tennant discovering that his recent ancestors were high up Orangemen and, as such, fanatically pro-British and not given to being too tolerant of Catholics – wonderful stuff! For luvvies like Tennant it’s the equivalent of David Irving finding out he’s descended from the Chief Rabbi of Poland.
Nice bit on Iain Dales’ blog about the BBC and the snearing attitude to anyone that opposes the BA Strike, Dale got grilled by a Beeboid.
In situations where the interviewer gives the appearance of being antagonistic I usually reckon that attack is the best form of defence, so I outlined the BA position, calmly but firmly. Nestor then proceeded to assert that the union had been the voice of sweet reason and that the employers were looking for a war. That, I said, was the union’s position – it was they who were talking in a warlike manner….

Compare and contrast the coverage of the Labour lot trying to make money form Lobbyists on the BBC (Toenails) and ITV (Tom Bradby), Toenails/BBC very dismissive of the whole thing, but ITV were much more cynical, why didn’t the BBC mention the awful Margaret Moran? she’s supposed to be off sick but was shown being interviewed for a job as well.
According to Bradby one Tory MP is also involved so expect the BBC to concentrate on him/her once the show airs tonight. The BBC will give equal time to the one Tory as to the numerous Socialists up to no good, just like the BBC did recently with the one Tory Peer and the many Labour MPs now facing criminal charges.
The BBC taking it up the backside for Labour is what we LOVE to do.
Not a trace of THIS story on the BBC news site. funny the meow meow snorters can run all sorts of crap about mines from WW2 in Egypt but why is it that whenever someone is critical on the one eyed idiot the BBC goes quiet?
PRINCE Harry’s war hero Ben McBean last night launched a scathing attack on penny-pinching politicians who let down our wounded soldiers.
The ex-marine, who spoke to The Sun after being medically discharged, accused ministers of throwing him on the scrapheap after he was horrifically injured while serving Britain.

The Guardian commenters make me laugh. They think its real they do.
“We were a group of politically motivated people and it seemed the right thing to do. At the time Doctor Who used satire to put political messages out there in the way they used to do in places like Czechoslovakia. Our feeling was that Margaret Thatcher was far more terrifying than any monster the Doctor had encountered. Those who wanted to see the messages saw them; others, including one producer, didn’t.”

That was in the 80s – then they had to do it
“… very quietly and certainly didn’t shout about it,” said McCoy.
Today the “stars, writers et al” openly boast about their affiliations. Without the BBC they would probably cease to exist at least they would not be paid millions of taxpayers money to push their political messages.
But in the words of the BBC:
“We’re baffled by these claims. The BBC’s impartiality rules applied just as strongly then as they do to programmes now.”
Pull the other one.
Satire is supposed to be about speaking truth to power. In BBC-land it is about blocking an opposiition’s duty to oppose.
More left-wing delusion from a typical BBC Marxist berk.
You have to laugh at the way the BBC try to convince people that popular programming couldn’t be made by commercial broadcasters! The whole point of commercial broadcasters is to have popular programmes in case beeboid land hadn’t sodding noticed! and if a fire-sale of existing BBC programming assests ever takes place, the likes of ITV, Channel 4 and 5 will, no doubt, be extremely happy to get hold of the BBC’s more popular programming. When you consider that the BBC audience is much more affluent and middle-class than the commercial broadcasters, generally speaking, most advertisers would be falling over themselves to advertise during proven ex-BBC programmes. The international version of the BBC website is sponsored by Rolex for god’s sake, hardly a chav brand!
