Doctor Who To Be Axed, Again 304
twofish writes "According to UK tabloid The Sun, hit BBC sci-fi program Doctor Who will reportedly end next year after its fourth season. Producer Russell T. Davies has decided to bring the hit sci-fi show to a close — to 'go out at the top' — so he can concentrate on other projects, according to the article. Davies and other senior staff are feeling the strain of the heavy workload imposed by the show, nine months a year of 16-hour days, and plan to resign en-masse in 2008. Davies, a long-time fan of Doctor Who, relaunched the series in 2005, 16 years after the original series was axed." Update: 05/31 16:36 GMT by KD : Reader palewook points out that the UK Guardian sets this story straight: "But there isn't any way it would be axed even if [Davies] left. He loves the show and he does feel that maybe it would benefit from some new blood."

Well... technically, a Time Lord can only regenerate 12 time, and we're on the Tenth Doctor now. That said, I'm sure that if the show continued past #12 that the writers would find some plausible explanation. Come to think of it, I don't think that the 12 regeneration limit has actually been mentioned on screen, so they could be fine anyways...
