Sci Fi Wire and FAQs

Sci Fi Wire is covering the second series of Doctor Who a lot this week. It's my impression that they're covering it more than they covered the first series -- of course, the first series is currently airing on Sci Fi, and while there isn't much news about the first series any more, there's a fresh supply of second series news.

I'm kind of surprised that Doctor Who's BAFTA wins haven't made it to Sci Fi's news service yet. It is the equivalent of winning an Emmy, after all, as far as British television is concerned. I imagine it'll get a mention there at some point.

One thing I've been wondering is if there are any British television series that are getting a higher viewership than Doctor Who at the moment, and if there are any, what they are. I doubt anything on BBC America does as well, as that's only digitial.

Television Without Pity has updated their Doctor Who FAQ. One of the challenges with the new series is that there are probably a billion different Doctor Who FAQs out there, and of course, with a series like Doctor Who you have multiple decades woth of fan controversies and misunderstandings in old FAQs. But really, for most people something like the 1996 TV Movie isn't really relevant for someone new to the show. People have fresh questions -- and this does a fairly good job of this.

And if you're not reading their recaps, you really should. They're wonderful.
