Depends on your definition of respect... British television is high on content and drama. Reality, depth of character are important to a trully progressive art form, so it is natural to embrace people of color. I think this is a function of the trend and narrative; not some kind of perceived affir

It's not official until the Beeb declares it. Regardless...I saw a clip of him in Neverwhere. He's got the right eyes for the role and enough of the Tenth Doctor in him to pull it off. I've seen the other candidates...meh. Frankly, I'd rather have Tennant back. If he'd come back after the specia
