If anyone else wishes to do the same (and if we want to make Tiger Aspect aware of our concerns I do think that the best way to do so is to start hurling mud at Aunty Beeb in as many numbers as possible until someone in that cooperatrion sits up and realises that one of its flagship shows is going to crash and BURN next series unless the production company pulls its socks up) you can do so here: BBC Complaints (thanks to
vhari for the link). If nothing else, it certainly has allowed me to let off steam - and pin down exactly WHY this bothers me on several levels OTHER than that of a whiny posessive fan annoyed that someone is messing with her show.

Oh, and sign this petition for saving Marian. I know, I've been in fandom long enough to know that these things rarely come to anything, but we might as well cover all our bases, right?
