BBC radio interview with new Doctor Who producer Stephen Moffat...

... The radio interviewer introduces the spot by saying "in one of the most important jobs in television". I find this pleasantly funny. In Britain, their own television programs are the main thing, even if they do import very popular U.S. shows. Here in Canada, many folk don't even take our own fare at all seriously -- more a joke, if occasional diversion. In my own humble opinion, some terrific programs have been made here over the decades.
But: Canadian Sydney Newman is hired away to the U.K. and ends up becoming a bit of a legend over there; ultimately creating or kick-starting Doctor Who and The Avengers.
