The verdicts from The British Empire

What can i say. Strangely, but not entirely surprising the british mass audience apparantly choose the new Dr. Who show as Best drama of 2006! The awfull new Robin Hood series came second while the fantastic Emile Bronte adaption; Jane Eyre came third. The incredible intens six part mini The State Within made it to a solid eight place. And the seldom treat Bodies ended on a joint twentyfourth place for some odd reason. But then again this was a typical small audience show. In these days the competitors have found out that niche before mass audience is the way to go anyway.

The spring season of the BBC seems less thrilling than before. Though we will see some great moments i'm sure of it. Many strange buys from america this year. Hmm, the serial superhero saga of Heroes i can understand since it was last years dark horse. 3Lbs? God this is a really bad show. But then again medical dramas never go out of style. What are the networks thinking of. More shows than ever where cancelled last year. Also in mid-season (Smith, Vanished, Kidnapped). Which for me anyway is new and unheard of. Why establish an audience and then turning them away again. Can we say the networks have seriouse trust issues?? Besides that, several promised shows didnt turn up (The Black Donnellys, Traveler no moved and announced for march 2007 and january 2007). Lets hope we can see some of these this year if the networks trusts us!?
