Davies slams 'Doctor Who mosquitoes'
Russell T. Davies has criticised an obsessive section of Doctor Who fans, branding them "mosquitoes".

Speaking to The Guardian, the departing showrunner emphasised that these Whovians are a tiny minority in the vast fanbase, but are vocal enough to "dominate the agenda".

"They are not real fandom," Davies stated. "They are a core of mostly men who like to complain. Fandom is bigger and richer than that, and they are only about 1,000 people who give everyone else a bad name and build their life around a show."
