"You look Time Lord."

Well, that article does quote a spokesman as saying, 'We do not know yet how many [of the 14 new episodes] will air in 2012,' so possibly that's what the Eye is getting at?

I've no idea how accurate this particular story is, but I'm erring on the side of the Eye in terms of general veracity: partly because Ian Hislop has contacts at the BBC and should be able to verify, and partly because I know they were accurate when reporting on my parents' government department's shenanigans a couple of years ago.

(Also, of all the things to cancel my subscription over, I would rather it not be Doctor Who ;) )
