Totally Doctor Who lets in the teenagers

We’ve already have a few of our regulars and newcomers complaining that Totally Doctor Who, the show that CBBC is hoping will indoctrinate children into being obsessive about television from an early age, has too low an age limit. Well, the powers that be are obviously listening – and enjoy pissing people off – and have raised the maximum age to 14, which still rules out everyone who complained.

Let the birth-certificate-faking begin.

Meanwhile, trailers have been running in the US for the Christopher Eccleston season of Doctor Who, since it airs next Friday. Sci-Fi have already got a nice little micro-site up and running but clearly they reckon the new logo is far too naff and have created their own:

Like a gadzillion times better than the real one, isn’t it? Maybe the Beeb should take that to heart and use it for the next season? That would annoy the merchandisers no end.

That’s it. Nothing more to see here.

Still here? Oh. Of course.

Here’s a picture of David Tennant:
