Who is going to Sunday

After much speculation it has been confirmed that the next series of Doctor Who will going out on Sunday. For many the show has always been a Saturday night staple though there have been 2 spells in the 1980s when it went out on week nights. Between 1982-84 for the whole of Peter Davison's reign and the start of Colin Baker's saw it go out twice, this was trial run for a future soap that in the end turned out to be Eastenders. However the next time time it happened was far more contervisal and still rankles with Whovians to this day, Sylvester McCoy for his entire reign found himself against Coronation Street when it was at it's ratings peak. Some fans claim this was a ploy to justify the axing of the show. In 1989 what is known as Classic Who ended and for 16 years (apart from 1996 TV movie and a couple of charity specials) Doctor Who was off TV screens. No new as yet on what time it is going out but given the current weak ITV line up on that night should offer some hope.
