Because this report is painful stuff.
To begin with, the numbers werent good.
Death-wishes werent the end of Mels ignominy.
Her vocal chords appeared to be the main problem, with audience members being irritated by Mels shrieking ability.
The report paints a picture of growing disenchantment with Who.
The popularity ofDoctor Whohas continued to decline, it summarised, even amongst lifelong fans.
It didnt help of course, thatWhohad been infamously scheduled to death on Monday nights against ITVsCoronation Street.
For the time being, at least.
But thats a different story.

Read it and weep, pointy-headed Doctor Who fans…
