Low Ball

TV Today's Radio Times apparently confirms that scheduling issues related to the FA Cup semi-final might lead Gridlock to being delayed by a week. Says the website:

"The Doctor takes Martha to New Earth - though if the FA Cup semi-final overruns, she won't get there until next week."

Given intricate web of repeats and relating programming that surrounds each broadcast these days it's created a headache for a range of schedulers -- obviously Confidential is easy to deal with -- they'll probably fill the gaps with outtake programmes -- but what of the various showings of Totally? And then won't this probably mean that Doctor Who Magazine and Doctor Who Adventures with both have to drop another week because they're reviewing/previewing something which hasn't been on yet?

James commenting at FreemaAgyeman.com probably says it best:

"Noooooooooooooooooo!!! Please dont cancel -( I miss doctor who already! Why does football over-run everything! I mean doctor who is much better then football! I would rather see david and freema doing some brilliant acting then see some wanna-be famous people kicking a ball around for 90 minutes. No offence to people who like football! grin They cant cancel it! *Starts crying* haha."

Who's playing anyway?
