The hype unleashed by various branches of the BBC seemed disturbingly out of control at times, with many determined to reproduce old stereotypes of the Doctor Who audience. Jimmy Carr’s attitude on The Graham Norton Show was a case in point. I know of one female fan who encountered scepticism from a local radio station who refused to believe she was a ‘real’ fan because she was a woman. The whole campaign could have done with more careful and focused management, though what we had probably revealed a lack of consensus or leadership around what Doctor Who means or should mean to its diverse audiences.
