Well, it was a long time ago! My memory isn't perfect either! :techman:

He did indeed leave the show hence why it was cancelled, but there are interviews of him stating the BBC just strangled the show budget wise to the point that by the end he just wanted done with it and to leave due to the continued pressure of making the show with a constant shrinking budget...

I looked into it a little bit, and my memory was indeed wrong and Mr. Awe was right. JNT did quit, there was no replacement, and Doctor Who was cancelled.

JNT ended up still running Who at worldwide though, I don’t think he actually got around to leaving. He was still doing Who stuff for years.

They said, "If you leave, it will be cancelled." Consequently, he stayed longer than he planned and the show remained on the air. He finally decided to leave and they stopped making it. As far as is known, he didn't leave because it was cancelled. It appears to be the other way around as best...

I know that. But you made it sound like JNT quit, and so DW was cancelled. I thought it was just flat out cancelled. Again, it's been 36 years, so I might not remember right.

It is well known that John Nathan-Turner wanted to step down as Doctor Who producer by the mid-1980s, but stayed on because there was no one to replace him and the program risked cancellation if he left.

Unless I am grossly misremembering the state of Doctor Who in 1989, I thought the show was simply never renewed for Season 27, without any regard for the plans of JNT to stay or go.

And they continued to sell merchandise and release new merchandise even after Paramount+ cancelled it but before Netflix picked it up. Which they wouldn't have been able to do if it was a tax write-off. Were that the case, they would not be allowed to release new merchandise and any unsold...

If you think I'm the type of fan who enjoys going around saying 'Cancelled! Yay!", you're barking up the wrong tree. I'm perfectly fine with both SNW and SFA going for at least five seasons. I'd rather have them than nothing at all. But their futures are not up to me.

Unbelievable. This show has achieved the impossible! I don't know how they did it; indeed I suspect there may be a Nightsister in the writer's room since it could only possibly be done with the aid of witchcraft. For three whole seconds . . . They made me feel sorry . . . for Eedy Karn . . ...

They are currently filming SNW season 4. A second season of SFA was also confirmed, but I'm sure you'd say it could just as easily be cancelled until something actually happens with it.

I am But The Acolyte got cancelled. Plus it wasn't well received critically. I think the one that might have did her in though was The Skeleton Crew. That in theory should have been traditional enough to be a bigger success. It was well received yet nobody still watched. We are also...

^ It's quite difficult to find someone willing to take on the complexities of running Doctor Who including production, stories, budgetary, etc. Someone might take on those challenges to start their own thing but less likely to do so to keep a long running franchise going. So, add more...

It makes sense that people might stop watching if their favorite character is no longer in the show. Still not the most crazy way of losing viewers. "Felicity" started getting bad ratings after Keri Russell got a haircut. Then sometimes shows loose ratings when a show continues on despite the...

You're forgetting that at the time, Paramount's movie and TV divisions had been split into separate companies, with the latter being renamed CBS Studios. So CBS had the TV rights to Trek and Paramount had the movie rights, with Paramount subcontracting the production of the movies to Bad Robot...

I think we should also remember that in 2007-2008 when preproduction was heating up, there was no real indication that Trek would return to TV. Abrams set up a different timeline so that he could make the changes he wanted. Essentially, he wanted to move Star Trek into a more cinematic and...

Ever read the comment section on TV Line? Every time someone gets killed off, there are vocal people who threaten to stop watching (9-1-1 being a recent one). Some of them are upset over an NCIS: Origins death which absolutely has to happen in order for everything on NCIS to make sense and...

...shows up pretty well, but Enterprise was cut short and given a universally hated ending. At some point, within a year or two of its cancellation, I embarassingly wrote a story treatment where the ending was retconned through some temporal cold war shenanigans and they had to finally face off...

No. What he observes - and it's well-taken, IMO - is that actresses who were both were in such demand that it was difficult to sign one to a syndicated series. IOW, rare in the off-network casting pool rather than an especially rare combination in a performer. Star Trek or not, first-run...
