In Russell's world, bumsex with Russell Tovey pretty much fixes all your emo manpain, no matter how vast, yeah?

That's pretty faily right there. Not as faily as that thing with Martha and you know who, but still pretty fucking offensively faily. As was that thing with Donna. Wow, that's a lot of fucking fail to heap upon an awful lot of companions.

DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOUR ASS RUSSELL.

Also, did Simm just disappear, never to be mentioned again, or did it just seem that way?

That's exactly what I'm saying - the viewers matter exactly because they determine the revenue streams. Ratings (with the demographics factored in) are what drives revenue and that is a very, very different model from the one RTD is familiar with. There isn't the BBC charter of serving the public and there certainly isn't anything like advertiser pressure.

It's a radically different business model in the US. He's used to being someone with a great deal of cachet, and while it may get him a head start over here, he's going to have to learn the different rules and quickly.
