Stories like this might make *me* anti-ginger
The BBC has denied suggestions that it is pursuing an "anti-ginger agenda" with Doctor Who.

Speechless, regardless of the origins of this story.
My first reaction was to ask, following on from this, if we are seeing the emergence of a new pressure group, dedicated to shielding young children from the spectre of gingerism? (Or should it be gingism?) If so, and if you're reading, and if you haven't got a name yet... can I suggest "Gingers In Moral Protest"? Please?
Or is this just part of the BBC's apparent policy of keeping Dr Who in the "news" between episodes (which, as a fan, I had hoped might be limited to the month between The Waters Of Mars and The End Of Time)?
Either way, enough.
Thank you very much.
