  Subj: Letter in the Guardian  
 From: nikemc@nildram.REMOVE.co.THIS.uk.TEXT 
  
 The Grauniad's media section has a letter from a reader in response to 
 recent interview with RTD. 
  
 Tthe writer comments that RTD seems to dislike the SF genre (Compared with 
 US shows, which are usually written by people who like the genre.) and this 
 shows by the poor plotting in the RTD penned episodes. The letter writer 
 also comments that the drama in the new Who is about the Hollyoak's level, 
 and that if RTD wanted to make the show "US style" he should remember that 
 these shows have plots with a beginning, middle and end. 
  
 I do recall reading the interview, and RTD did come across as being very 
 anti-SF. Odd that someone who dislikes the genre takes up the role of 
 producing and writing the majority of episodes for a show that's SF!
