The Doctor was right. Wanking does cause madness.
Two classic elements of British Broadcasting culture come together, in messy array.
Doctor Who, the televisual delight of several generations, has a new series out. There is much rejoicing.
Points of View is a classic pool of spooge for the BBC. Irate viewers and listeners from the English heartlands have free reign to generally rant and rave about their pet broadcasting irks. Sort of like Livejournal, only the taxpayer pays for it.
John Blewitt (he didn't) is one of these people.
The Reverend demands LOVE, not FEAR.
"I am a preacher in the Methodist Church and I was completely shocked and unprepared for the Dr Who episode broadcast on Saturday 09 April 05.
The subject matter is very REAL and such activities as seances and contacting the dead DO HAPPEN today with disastrous consequences many times. Messing about with spiritual areas we cannot control should not be done - this is clear from the Bible.
Apart from my disquiet about the content of Dr Who, I was also concerned that it was screened at 7.00 pm when many young and vulnerable people would have been watching. In a day when Christian values seem almost to have been forgotten we need to remember again that LOVE not FEAR should be at the centre of our community and national life."
Fairly standard responses, so far. The "You're a fool, and you don't understand the underlying moral!!" posts. The sarcastic faux support. The accusations of BBC sockpuppetry. The "Ha, a Christian being upset about fiction!" posts.
Not to mention the illiterate trolls, stating that "popes, preachers programmes like dr Who are all daft and the loonies who listen and watch are nuts." And of course, where would we be without the classic self-incriminating "you should probably add people who post on the points of view message board to that list too".
All in all, a tasty little Saturday tea-time wank.
