We were chatting about how lyrics change their meaning over time and was reminded of this video of Peter shedding tears performing Music When The Lights Go Out on his own in 2004. The second album was about to come out but it was evident then the band was over. It makes the way they are together today all the more a beautiful tale of love and redemption against the odds. (x)

Doctor Who remains an important part of the BBC

the TL:DR:

Christmas special cancelled

Russell T Davies and his production company are leaving the show

RTD has confirmed on Instagram that there was never a script or proper plan for the Christmas special

The show is going out to competitive tender.

For anyone who is confused as to what 'competitive tender' means:

Caveat that my knowledge of tendering comes from a completely different industry but roughly speaking: other TV production companies will now have an opportunity to pitch their plan for making Doctor Who to the BBC and how much funding they would need and the BBC will give the show to whatever company can do it best and cheapest. Show will remain with the BBC, they are just looking for a new contractor for the production.
