The self confessed Sci-fi hater, and ex-BBC1 controller, Michael Grade says that 'Dr. Who', the show he axed in 1989, "had no redeeming features."
He appears on the BBC2 show 'Room 101' (named for the room in the George Orwell novel '1984') in which guests give details of their own pet hates.
"It was a waste of license payers' money."
"I thought it was rubbish, I thought it was pathetic, I'd seen 'Star Wars', 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' and 'ET', and then I had to watch these cardboard things clonking across the floor trying to scare kids!"
"There was a huge press campaign to save it... thousands of letters from three fans writing all night!"
"I got an award, a gold statuette of the rear of an animal, the 'Horse's Ass Award' from the Dr. Who Appreciation Society of America."
