When Greed came to the TV channel at the end of 1984, one of his first decisions was the refusal to shoot new episodes of the "Doctor Who", the budget disengaged to other projects. In his opinion, this "science fiction garbage" could not even closely compete with George Lucas Saga "Star Wars".
I hated the "Doctor Who"
- Grade admitted.
Once he asked the television producer, whether he went to the movie for "Star Wars" or "Alien". After the affirmative answer, Michael said:
Then I have a news for you and our audience - everything that we previously issued for science fiction was garbage.
However, after a year and a half, "Doctor Who" returned to the BBC One, Greed could not withstand the indignant show fans, which was broadcast without a break on the channel since 1963. True, fans rejoiced early: already in 1989, after the catastrophically low ratings, the science fiction series was closed. Its triumphant revival occurred only in 2005, Christopher Eccleston was reincarnated in the Ninth Doctor.
