TV Producer calls internet spoilers lowed than vermin
Didn't see it myself but on fb the other night there was a thread
About tv Producer saying the this (see below) He said something on the lines of this This may not be word for word but on his fFacebook page went something like this What do I think of internet spoilers we'll they remind me of Glue sniffers of late 70s or kids who hung outside McDonald's In 80s in other words no marks with no real life. Who life's revolve round trying to find out future plots mainly soaps Goes on to say they are lower than vermin who have no life Outside an electronic gadget Tbh he does have a point I hate seeing or reading about who's gonna die or get married etc But wouldn't go far as that Then goes on to Say a very well known forum put a plot up and what they didn't know us we had 5 endings so that was their sad little life ended |

Hmm, I would be very suspicious of this. Hearsay, from an unseen quote on facebook? Chinese whispers. a few months ago, a rumour got out on Facebook that a village near where I live was being searched for terrorists, due to several helicopters circulating overhead and 'police everywhere.' Turned out it was the normal number of police out on patrol, and the RAF helicopter helping the mountain rescue find a missing hillwalker. A sight which is commo enough around here, so goodness knows how that happened
![]() But since that I treat anything unverified on Facebook with a pinch of salt.

Not sure but think it may be the Dr who producer
But Don't quote me on that, no idea of forum or programme As according to my Facebook page (which a friend of Mine is a friend) bit Thsts all I know They don't watch soaps so just asked me, but it's all vague To me, does the Dr who producer sound about right? I have no idea . I don't watch Dr Who . Purely because it's rubbish. You see it's strange , I'm a massive Sci-Fi fan but I've never liked Dr Who . Just can't get on with him at all. He comes across as a bit of a bell-end When it comes to Sci-Fi , be it TV or films , the lead character needs to be strong and confident . Ripley in Aliens or O'Neale in Stargate . Or Capt Picard . People that take the lead and not spend the entire show running away with a flashing screwdriver |

Yeah, that sounds like Steven Moffat, Doctor Who's producer. That was a couple of years ago when he said that though.

![]() Imho I think spoilers live up to their name and I think they are Quite sad but wouldn't go as far as the op though No one needs to read spoilers if they don't want to. I like them, personally. It sounds like this person was having a bad day, if they really said that. Either that or they've got a chip on their shoulder. I think sometimes the problem is the tv mags take spoilers and run wild with them. ds' spoilers seem a bit more accurate. But facebook and twitter are magnets for chinese whispers.Saying that, I can imagine some of the Dr who fans might get a bit carried away with spoilers - unlike us soap fans who are nice, rational people ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() sorry, I'm not a fan of dr Who since christopher ecclestone left, but am willing to give it a go with Peter Capaldi. |

Sometimes spoilers can actually increase the number of viewers. Some might read about a plot which sounds interesting and watch it to see how it was handled, when they wouldn't normally watch.
For instance, some will watch the current Corrie story about Hayley having terminal cancer to see if it is true to life and handled sensitively. Or to see if plot such as Jim MacDonald robbing a bank is as farcical as it sounds. |
