Bennett Defends Confidential Axe

Almost one year after Doctor Who Confidential was controversially axed, the man responsible, Zai Bennett, has once again defended his decision.

Speaking this year’s Edinburgh International Television Festival he said: “Doctor Who Confidential had run for six series. It was a show about a show. There wasn’t much more to say about how they make Doctor Who.”

He added: “We are pulling back from pre-watershed TV because of BBC cuts – I’ve got to make every pound count.

“I don’t want to make loads of extension shows, a la ITV2.”
