No More Doctor Who Confidential: The Finale
Doctor Who Confidential: The Finale
From the BBC official site
For the past seven years, Doctor Who Confidential has put you at the heart of Doctor Who, providing a unique insight into the stars, the show and the entire production.
This journey reaches a fitting finale on Saturday when Doctor Who Confidential premiers a brand new mini-adventure starring Matt Smith as the Doctor. Viewers have seen the story, Death is the Only Answer, being made, watching the entire process from script to screen. Saturday’s episode, entitled When Time Froze, also includes the ultimate feature on River Song, with Alex Kingston providing a brilliant timeline of everyone’s favourite time travelling archaeologist.
The Confidential team captured the rebirth of the show back in 2005 and for over half a decade they have given an unsurpassed, access-all-areas insight not just into Doctor Who, but the magic and mechanics of making successful drama. From an episode directed by David Tennant, to the special edition that broke the news that Matt Smith would be the Eleventh Doctor, Doctor Who Confidential has always delivered the very best in must-see behind-the-scenes action.
The final episode of Doctor Who Confidential, When Time Froze, is on BBC Three on Saturday, immediately after The Wedding of River Song.

September 30th, 2011 - 11:13pmPharap from doctor who TV made this
Tick Tock, goes the clock
The Doctor doesn’t know
Tick Tick, goes the clock
Just why he has to go
Tick Tock, goes the clock
His foes they tried to warn him
Tick Tock, and soon we know
His friends will have to mourn him
Tick Tock, goes the clock
It never changes time
Tick Tock, at least until
The woman does the crime
Tick Tock, goes the clock
It’s time for you to go
Tick Tock, goes the clock
To lake Silencio
Tick Tock, goes the clock
A picnic with his friends,
Tick Tock, and they don’t know
This hour means the end,
Tick Tock, goes the clock
The astronaut shall rise,
Tick Tock, look at her
The sorrow in her eyes
Tick Tock, goes the clock
And the first shot is fired,
Tick Tock, and soon we know
The Doctor has expired
Tick Tock, goes the clock
And now the world is saved
Tick Tock, And for the world
That man – his life he gave
good dont you think

September 30th, 2011 - 10:43pmYup. Stoopid BBC. Only reason I love ’em is Dr Who…And they’re not even treating that right! No more confidential…morons…
McGann is the Doctor
September 30th, 2011 - 11:00amConfidential is brilliant, and we love to see it, clearly they have underestimated it’s popularity, no sane person would think it wise to axe the show given how much it is enjoyed.
TARDIS DUDE
September 30th, 2011 - 10:03amThe bbc should axe the other rubbish they show on bbc three. Dr who confidential should stay. Rubbish like Don’t tell the bride should go.
McGann is the Doctor
September 30th, 2011 - 11:00amWilfred anyone ? A guy who thinks he’s a dog: this is the result of TV comedy that has run out of creative or even decent ideas.
TARDIS DUDE
September 30th, 2011 - 2:46pmI agree. But willfred is a inport(they got it from the usa)(i think) so they can’t axe it. Mind u they could stop showing it. But not all inports are rubbish. Famliy guy is brill. Axe young dum living off mum i say.
stetsons are cool
September 30th, 2011 - 4:58pmbetter things to axe:
don’t tell the bride
eastenders
big fat gypsy wedding
gavin and stace.

millions, billions of people watch confidential!!

September 30th, 2011 - 5:36pmGavin and Stacey ended in early 2010 of the creators own choice, not through axing so no money is being spent on it.

September 30th, 2011 - 5:36pmAnd Big Fat Gypsy Wedding is Channel 4 not BBC.

September 29th, 2011 - 8:35pmhows this
I find it idiotic that Doctor who confidential has been cancelled due to budget cuts.You have many shows that take more money that this as I see it it is just a camera following the cast and crew so I don’t see how that takes many of the budget you have many shows that you could cancel with bad ratings but Doctor who confidential seems to be doing good and there are many fans on it.The first day that it was told that it would be cancelled they created petitions and clubs on things on Facebook and twitter.So please take this in consideration

September 29th, 2011 - 6:48pmI can’t accept this. If you feel you strongly want it back and want to help, here’s what to do.
First of all, make sure to drop the BBC a complaint (http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/). Chances are you’ll receive a stock reply, but at least it’ll be registered. Try and keep it polite though.
Second, follow @SaveDWC on Twitter (https://twitter.com/#!/SaveDWC). The account has almost 6000 followers already and has seen support from Steven Moffat, Neil Gaiman, Tom MacRae, Russell Tovey, the Radio Times and Doctor Who Magazine. There’s also a Facebook page here.
Third, sign the petition that is running here – http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/savedwc. At the time of writing it has over 14,000 signatures.

September 29th, 2011 - 5:56pmThe beeb will ring out every last penny it can from the 50th., and then sell it off to us Americans! Just like Torchwood and The Office.
Handbot Scott
September 29th, 2011 - 9:01pmBBC will never hand Americans the control of Doctor Who!!! It has been British for almost 50 years and it always will be.
BOB
September 30th, 2011 - 2:16pmno they will never hand it to the americans because doctor who is pure british and always will be they only sold torchwood because they didnt have enough money to make it any more

September 30th, 2011 - 3:36pmThe office usa is a different show well kind of more like a spin off.
Clocky
September 29th, 2011 - 5:15pmNo!!!! Don’t get rid of confidential. I HAVE to watch that to understand what’s going on in Doctor Who. Get rid of confidential and keep Steven Moffat and I’ll never know what’s happening 🙁
biggest doctor who fan
September 29th, 2011 - 4:28pmI’ve hoad it up to here with the moff
Since he took over ratings had gone down
Now a perfectly good spin off is being axed what is going on!
The storys this season have been too complicated and rubbish, I mean it’s just a matter of time now before they axe the show itself.
If only Russell.T.Davies was here nothing like this would be happening.

biggest doctor who fan
September 29th, 2011 - 6:57pmWe really need R.T.D back as when he was on the show around 10million minninum would tune in every week.
But this year only 5 million will tune in so obviously the moff’s lost half the audience in just 1 year
Check out a23g156’s youtube as my story’s aren’t to complicated
Yes that is my youtube name as I do figure adventures and micro figure adventures

October 1st, 2011 - 7:03amRTD has had his time his era was good but it wasn’t completely perfect and the daleks just kept coming back and mostly doing the same thing. I know it wouldn’t be doctor who without the daleks but they just came in and blew stuff up. I prefer Moffat as he makes the show feel more like the classic era. I do like RTD he is a good writer but some of his stories weren’t up to scratch but I like what he does in torchwood and sja(although he had to mention tennants regeneration in death of the doctor. That annoyed me!)
Martycc
September 29th, 2011 - 9:54amReally bad news, I enjoyed confidential and always watched it after Doctor Who and now gone..
I get this awful feeling that the BBC are trying to kill off Doctor Who due to the cost, first all those rumours about not having a full next season and now confidential.
A shame as I’m a massive fan and Who is about the only thing I still watch BBC for.

September 29th, 2011 - 5:47pmIF THEY DO THAT THEN I WILL BLOW UP WITH ANGER!!!!!!
DWFAN#1
September 30th, 2011 - 4:43pmThere is a full series, but its just being split between 2012-2013. They start filming series 7 in February, and the first half gets aired in autumn, and then next half in Summer/Autumn (unconfirmed).
Hope that helps!

September 28th, 2011 - 11:19pmIt’s terrible that there’s no more Doctor Who Confidential. We need spin-offs. No more Torchwood. No more Sarah Jane Adventures. And now no more Doctor Who Confidential. What is BBC thinking finale-ing this?
King of the weevils
September 29th, 2011 - 7:40amActually torchwood could return it’s just nobodys sure about it’s future after the absoloutely terrible torchwood:miracle day
King of the weevils
September 28th, 2011 - 11:15pmThe BBC have made a very stupid mistake here. BBC three need to axe the shows that NEED to be axed such as lee nelsons well good show, snog,marry,avoid,eastenders repeats etc etc etc. The only BBC three shows that I’ve seen which are good are russel howards good news and family guy oh and confidential of course. Please confidential come home for Christmas. But I won’t watch if they completely ruin the show like what happened with primeval this year.

September 29th, 2011 - 5:02pmDon’t forget The Real Hustle that is a great show as well!

September 30th, 2011 - 5:03pmIF CONFIDENTIAL DIDN’T GET SAVED BUT CAME BACK AT XMAS IT WOULD BE THE BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER
Justininferno
September 28th, 2011 - 10:48pmThis is excellent news – Confidential over the last few years has lost the plot – sending Arthur to swim with sharks or Karen driving for example … what has that got to do with the show? Goodbye Confidential, it was overdue.

September 29th, 2011 - 8:49pmThat is such an ill thought through view point and somewhat a LONE point of view I would say as well !
