No Dr Who in America, but South Korea gets it!

No fair! <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" /><br /><br />According to Outpost Gallifrey:<br /><i>South Korea is the latest country to pick up the series. South Korean public TV station KBS (equivalent to BBC) is going to broadcast the new Doctor Who series from the 5th of June, every Saturday at 11.15 pm. No further details as yet.</i><br /><br />Ah well, if there are any South Koreans on the board, they can look out for the good Doctor in just two weeks. Meanwhile, us Americans will continue file-trading..... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>

is it because of nudity? this country is so 19th century under many aspects, and with so many neocons (for foreigners a neocon is ...a crappy person) things are bound to get worse. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

Mmmm Billy Piper naked nice thought but unfortunatley not, so it cant be nudity<br /><br />Neo-con is that the same as New-labour? ie arrogant, lieing, ignorant, selfserving, appeal to the lowest commen denominater populists?

There is no nudity. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> The closest they ever got to nudity was Peri in a tasteful bikini. The series is aimed at kids, so it's generally pretty chaste. Rarely, a character may fall in love, or date, but that's about it.<br /><br />NBC was in negotiations for Dr Who, via the Sci-Fi Channel (which they now own). Sci-Fi ultimately decided not to go ahead with it, even after the BBC pulled all renewals for PBS broadcasts of the preceding 27 seasons of the series to make it more enticing.<br /><br />Their only explanation was that it was "lacking". They did not elaborate. My guess is that they thought it would make their own original programs look bad. <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" /><br /><br />I have a suspicion that the timing of Sci-Fi's refusal has poisoned the waters for Dr Who on any other network. Part of me wonders whether this might've been deliberate, removing a potential competitor. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>
