The BBC apparently knows a good thing when they see it...as well they should :)

     Some good news for Doctor Who fans everywhere, in an interview with Doctor Who Magazine, as reported by SFX, Steven Moffat, the current show runner for the show about everyone's favorite Time Lord, confirmed that the BBC has spoken to him about their plans for continuing the show for at least five more years.  In the article Moffat talks about how things like this don't usually happen, as ten years in a show is generally expected to lose ground in the ratings, especially with a show that had huge numbers early on like Doctor Who.  However, the BBC seems extremely happy with the fact that the ratings are not falling off, and in fact are not only still as high as they had been, but international numbers are up!  Below is a link to the SFX article about the interview, or of course you can look for the recent issue of Doctor Who Magazine to find out more.
