Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the air waves...

One would like to think that, but after 50 years of AMerican besiegement, Doctor Who is finally making a stand in American Tv's.

Over the years American companies tried to purchase the tv series outright, as well as attempt to make the 8th doctor an illegitimate 'American' Doctor (no offense to Americans, but DW is British and staying that way). in revenge for not getting what they wanted, those same companies have refused to air DW on their channels reducing its popularity and accessibility to the American Market. Its sad such a brilliant tv series is replaced by sad middle ages (hypothetically) americans, with MLP. Doctor who is one of the few British TV series not ripped off by the CBS (an American company like BBC), like the poor sods in Red Dwarf and Sherlock (original yank remake, not current, havent watched it yet)

but God save the Queen that at least 1 british tv series is claiming a place in the top 10 tv series of 2012
