If the Beeb cannot fix a slot on BBC1 surely it would not be the end of the world if BBC2 had a safer slot. 2 does not = 2nd best surely

Are they trying to kill off the show or do they think the fans will watch no matter what time it is scheduled? Here's 3 who won't be able to watch, so goodbye.

Way too early! 7pm is the best time and Dr Who deserves that time slot.

In the US it isn't even considered prime time unless it's after 8pm, 6:20 is for evening news and reruns of old sitcoms. RTD is right that it's a "lesser" timeslot for a big show, and it seems like a stupid move for the Beeb to cheapen one of its major meal tickets this way. Hopefully something can convince them to bump it back to 7 or later. Good thing I'm watching it on TiVo....

Yes it is way too early, it should be on at 7pm. I`m not home till 6.30pm and I can't record it. I don't have a video.

This is how they killed it off when I was a kid. Messed around with the times, then days. Dont forget the primary audience is children and as the nights get lighter they would rather be outside playing than inside watching TV.

Hmmm... The overnights will be interesting! As it is the premier episode I expect that ratings will be high but will they stay high if this is the new regular timeslot???

Haven't people heard of video recorders, DVD recorders, Sky+, iPlayer? What difference does the schedule make? Come and join us in the 21st century, you'll enjoy it.

Its mental that the BBC are doing this to there flagship drama. 6.20 is too early for most families to be ready for. we can see that the earlier who is on the less people seem to watch. this isnt a good way to start series 4
Lucy, Sunderland on March 28th, 2008
WHAT!!!!! I luv Doctor Who but I'm in Newcastle until 6:30 every Saturday!!!
Sophie UK on March 29th, 2008
Bad move for the beeb here, 7.00pm = Doctor Who time. Screw 'I'd do anything' it's second best to DW.
Steve, Halifax on March 30th, 2008
What?? Another cheapo "reality" show at 7:00? If I wanted a reality show I'd watch the News.

Is anyone surprised?? Do you really think the BBC would move their cash-cow to an earlier slot? Of course not - "I'd Do Anything" has a premium rate phone-in for viewers, and makes the company a lot of money. Not to mention Sir Andrew Lloyd Webbers input!! Dr Who has single handedly saved the BBC on saturday nights for the past 3 years, does anyone else think it is a coincidence that Ant and Dec have already finished? But, the BBC just want teh cash form the phone-in so Dr Who is shunted!!
