[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 398487, member: 40536"] That statement needs more context. Since Doctor Who returned, most episodes have had an audience between 7-10 million. Obviously, the number of fans who are [B]respectful of continuity and the shows origins [/B]will be somewhat less, but it is not small. Other long running franchises -ie Star Wars and Star Trek - have an audience in the millions that includes many, many fans who want their show's history, origins and continuity to be respected, but it is not an insignificant number Websites, Fanclubs, videos on utub, fansites, etc all have significant numbers of Doctor Who fans. They rightly assert that without a coherent continuity, it becomes an aimless, arbitrary, shallow production, There was no new Doctor Who From 1990 to 2005 on the air, except for the TV movie During that time that so-called "small" number of fans kept both future and return of the show possible again, with Websites, utub videos, fansites, etc, as well as purchasing novelized adventures and other merchandise. The show returned, in large part, because these fans demonstrated that there was an audience that wanted the show. It is not a "small" number. It is a significant core group that is vital to the the show's continued success. [/QUOTE]
