I know Facebook is known for things that piss people off but I generally just ignore it all...

Except this...

A guy was complaining that it's possible that money will be used out of the Doctor Who budget to make "An Adventure in Space and Time" and how that might mean less money for the anniversary episodes. The complaint was that they didn't care about "An Adventure in Space and Time".

An Adventure in Space and Time is going to be a dramatized retelling of how Doctor Who came to be.

It matters. It's important and not just because it's about Doctor Who.

In 1963, you had Mervyn Pinfield, Verity Lambert and Waris Hussein.

Pinfield was a 51 year old white male who had spent the majority of his life working in the theatre and had only joined BBC three years before...

Lambert was a 27 year old female on her very first producing job.

Hussein was a 24 year old Muslim who had been born in India and had only directed three times before.

Somehow, three people with very little television experience and who were very different from one another made the longest lasting science fiction series of all time...and this was in 1963.

Now, we're in 2013 and how many women producers can we name? How many Muslim or Indian directors can we name?

This is why the television movie is important.

Also, BBC could make so much more money if they simply made a worldwide television license.
