 I can`t see what your`re on about here still. The Jerry Springer Opera was 
 aired in the BBC, got about 3 or 4 million viewers, generally very positive 
 reviews ( it had been a hugely successful west end production ) and a few 
 hundred religious nutters threw their toys out of the pram. The vast 
 majority of people saw no reason to be offended by it whatsoever. Exactly 
 what this has to do with RTD`s involvement in Dr Who is beyond me. The 
 public reaction to Dr Who has been overwhelmingly positive, a few people 
 have complained it was too scary for the timeslot ( just like the good old 
 days! ) but that was about it.
