The Time of Angels: Over the Rainbow animated trailer coverage

Over The Rainbow AnimationThe broadcast in England of an animated trailer promoting Over the Rainbow during the final moments of The Time of Angels has attracted over 5000 complaints as of Monday afternoon.

Today, a BBC spokesman was quoted as saying:
The trail should not have been played out on Saturday. We apologise to all Doctor Who fans whose enjoyment of the show was disrupted. We recognise the strength of feeling that has been expressed and are taking steps to ensure that this mistake will not happen again.

Unsurprisingly the impromptu appearance by Graham Norton in Doctor Who generated plenty of complaints, enough for the BBC to apologise for 'insensitivity' (though not for the animated advert itself!).

Also mixed thoughts on the US airing of The Beast Below. Meanwhile, in the UK a number of celebrities have put their name to a petition to protect the BBC.
