WATCH: Doctor Who wins a BAFTA

May 19th, 2014 by Marc Comments

British sci-fi stalwart Doctor Who picked up the Radio Times Audience Award at last nights BAFTA’s for the 50th anniversary episode The Day of The Doctor.  

The show has never had much luck when it comes to the BAFTA awards over the years, and it seems as though the makers had given up hope.  It was up to the director and two producers to pick up the award, with Matt Smith, David Tennant or even Steven Moffat no-where to be seen.

Unfortunately the Mark Gatiss penned An Adventure in Space and Time, a drama focusing on the creation of Doctor Who, failed to win in the Single Drama category.

But still it’s excellent to see Doctor Who picking up at least one award, and for all the joy, sadness, thrills and fun, I’d say The Day of the Doctor more than deserves it’s award.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
