Even as a fan...

...I have to admit the BBC is risking overkill with
the new Doctor Who. There is:
* A theme night on BBC3 on Sunday
* Weekly documentaries after the show
* Approx. 2 hours extra content after each episode on the Web
* Previews to your mobile phone
* Spin-off series later this year
* New recording facility especially for the programme in BBC Wales
I wish them well, I really do - but I do worry that if it doesn't take off like it did last year there'll be a lot of red faces at the BBC. Last year, Christopher Eccleston's debut in the role had to support, well, a TV series. Look at what's riding on David Tennant next week.
Saturday 15 April, BBC1, 7.15pm if you just want to watch the programme. Everywhere else on all the other channels in the meantime, I imagine.
