Trevor Eve has blasted the BBC for focusing its resources on Doctor Who.

The actor told The Sunday Times that the corporation is neglecting other series in favour of the popular sci-fi drama.

"All they are interested in are spinoffs from Doctor Who and [shows similar to] Doctor Who, like Sherlock," he claimed.

The Waking The Dead star complained that Who was receiving "all the budget and all the attention".

"It's fine as far as it goes, but Doctor Who is a 40-year-old children's programme," he argued.

Eve currently stars in the new ITV1 adaptation of Bouquet Of Barbed Wire.
