Rumors are afoot that there will be an Americanized version of Doctor Who. I truly and sincerely hope these are incorrect. Steven Moffat, the current DW showrunner, wrote an amazingly funny show called "Coupling" which ran for four series in the UK. A version created for American audiences was awful, even though it was written by Moffat himself! Somehow, moving it to the west of the Atlantic, um, decoupled it.
Anyway, cartoonist Tim Buckley, of CTL+ALT+DEL heard these rumors, and as an artist came up with a pretty funny drawing for a potential U.S. Who. I don’t want to spoil it (or steal away clicks to his site) so I only show a portion here. Click it to see what he thinks of this idea. NSFW language (which I pretty much totally agree with) in the commentary, too.
Tip o’ the sonic screwdriver to Mark Doyle.

–We can categorically put this one to bed now, having spoken to Russell T Davies himself. It’s all rubbish. “Someone sits in New Zealand”, he wearily told us (except with a few more expletives), “Types out a rumour, and I spend the next three days dealing with that rumour!”–

I’m not a great fan of Americanized versions of British shows on the principle that it assumes the American audience “won’t get” British comedy, but the Office is a good example of an Americanized show which is as good as, if not better, than the original. Moffat could learn some lessons from that, perhaps by allowing American writers a chance at the universe.
Granted, I’m not holding my breath for this particularly cross-Pond reboot.
July 8th, 2010 at 3:45 pm
Ugh! Did Steven Moffat learn nothing from the American Coupling? This would be such a travesty!!

I’ve always felt that the made-for-TV Doctor Who “movie” was as close as we should ever get to an American version of the show. Much like the movie, a US produced Doctor Who would probably rely too heavily on time travel to save the day, instead of as a means to tell a wide variety of stories.
July 8th, 2010 at 3:56 pm
Re Coupling: I could not agree more. The Brit version had me peeing down my pantlegs. The funeral episode about not laughing; the Melty-Man.
The US version – meh.
The Us version of the Office – blech.
Plus, we Americans will put up with a lot of literary license as long as it is in a British accent.
July 8th, 2010 at 4:04 pm
Hopefully, the rumours are just a misinterpretation of the news that DW spinoff Torchwood is getting a US-based series?
July 8th, 2010 at 4:05 pm
@3 I recall a comedian’s routine about accents and how we will accept malarkey from someone with an upper-class English accent: “As we all know, Cocoa comes from the Coconut”. Whereas some accents do not lend themselves to instilling confidence in the listener, viz. the Ozarkian: “Well, let’s just go and fire up the ‘ol Cy-clo-tron”.
That said, I think that cross-overs don’t generally work because there are in reality two different sents of audiences. Fawlty Towers took over a month to produce one half hour episode, and there were 13 in a “series” or season. That just won’t fly over here, so some standards are cut. The sense of humour IS different. I know, I know, there are folks who “get” certain British comedy, but on the whole I find US comedy to be vapid and empty of anything even remotely resembling wit.
So, I share the eminent Dr’s fear of a US version of Who.

Does anyone remember the American version of Red Dwarf? Was there anything they didn’t get wrong?
I’ve watched DW from `An Unearthly Child’ and the Americanised Paul McGann (sp?) episode counts pretty much as the Worst Ever. (Not that the Peter Cushing films were much cop, but at least they weren’t supposed to be part of the canon.)

July 8th, 2010 at 4:47 pm
There’s only six episodes in each of the two seasons of Fawlty Towers, which generally seems to be the norm for British comedy shows.
An American comedy show is more like twenty something show per season.
What’s funny about that, is that one season of British comedy packs the same amount of laughs as a season of American comedy.
Personally I find that British a comedy show can be watched again and again, whereas American one only have enough layers for one viewing.
It’ disposable…
July 8th, 2010 at 5:02 pm
Thomas is right; British comedy series are usually only six half-hour episodes; Fawlty Towers had a 6-show series in 1975 and another in 1979 and that was it – just 12 shows. Blackadder ran for 4 series; 6 shows in each. Even Dr. Who was originally a half-hour show with normally six episodes per series, but could vary between four and eight shows for most series. I preferred it that way too; I don’t like the new 45 minute format where every episode is a separate story with no cliffhangers (if that’s changed recently, sorry but I’ve already given up on it!) Conclusion: I find the new Dr. Who far too “americanised” already. I know I’m showing my age but I preferred the days of Troughton and Pertwee, and even the gruff no-nonsense Hartnell, probably because I grew up with them.
I also agree with Thomas about the lasting quality of British comedy; seems quality does triumph over quantity!
OK, geek mode off.

As there is no such thing as a “Police Public Call Box” in American culture, the producers will have no choice but rework the TARDIS into something similarly familiar to American audiences:

I’d cry. Seriously, fat crocodile tears. Let us have our BBC America, and leave well enough alone.
July 8th, 2010 at 5:33 pm
I am old enough to have held out hopes for the Americanized version of “Rock Follies.” Norman Lear got it pretty much right with “Sanford and Son” for “Steptoe and Son” but it doesn’t make up for Americanized versions of “Fawlty Towers” and “Life on Mars.” Think of any American spy show you’ve ever seen and then compare it to “Sandbaggers” or “MI-5/Spooks” or compare the original British miniseries of “Edge of Darkness” (with it’s Eric Clapton score and standout performances by Joe Don Baker and Bob Peck) with Mel Gibson’s travesty.
Thank God it was only a dream!
July 8th, 2010 at 5:35 pm
I could write about how American comedy sucks because it’s by committee, but The Simpsons shows that you can get something decent out of a committee, and I happen to know that some British comedies (like Blackadder) had a certain sense of committee about their writing.
(By Blackadder Goes Forth, the script would be written and the major plot done, but then refined in long rehearsal sessions with the actors and writers. Major elements of the series, such as Captain Darling’s name and character, came out of this – so some of the changes were not trivial at all!)
But to be honest, the reason that British comedies are bloody excellent is, I suspect, quite simple.
We pretend we don’t make them.
75% of all the “classic” British comedy was first broadcast on BBC2. 12% was first broadcast on Channel 4. 8% on BBC1, and 5% on ITV.
These are ballpark guesses, plucked freshly from my posterior. ITV only gets a look-in based on output that’s decades old, and BBC1 gets a look in because some big stars like Morecomb and Wise/The Two Ronnies,did their stuff there. BBC1 was more light entertainment than series-based comedy though.
Monty Python? BBC2.
Not The Nine O’Clock News? BBC2.
Blackadder? BBC2.
Red Dwarf? BBC2.
Fawlty Towers? BBC2.
The Young Ones? BBC2.
I could go on.
What you have to remember is that BBC2 traditionally is the “alternative”, less watched and less publicised channel. BBC1 is the big ratings draw, with prime time talent and all that. BBC2 is for arts, new comedies, and documentaries. Channel 4 feels it has a similar mandate, which explains why it’s had some classic comedies too – Father Ted, for example.
And therein lies the big difference between British TV comedies and American TV comedies.
The American TV Networks want comedy to succeed. But they want it to succeed SAFELY.
Here in Britain, new comedies on BBC2 or Channel 4 take risks, because those channels had fewer viewers to offend. They took risks because fewer people would see it to complain, and because they could, because they need to in order to get viewers.
In other words, we take risks by shoving the risky stuff onto channels we know are less watched anyway. That way, the bits of society that won’t like it can safely ignore it…
I strongly suspect that American TV Networks are the ones holding American comedies back. They take a British comedy property, and refuse to take risks because they prefer safety. So they strip out the soul, strip out the characters, and strip out the more out-there behaviour, and think that leaving in just some slightly-changed punchlines will do the trick.
America can do comedy, and do it well, when it takes risks. Such a pity your TV networks aren’t willing to do so…

July 8th, 2010 at 5:45 pm
What I think is funny is that Coupling was a rip-off of Friends. It was a much better show, but the idea was to make a UK Friends.
So then they decided it was so good they’d do a US version of a UK Version of a US show.
July 8th, 2010 at 6:41 pm
Anyone remember “Life on Mars” from a couple of years ago? Two great seasons on BBC with 16 episodes. Then we got a hold of it and totally mucked it up.
July 8th, 2010 at 6:43 pm
I don’t think I can think of a worse choice of a British show to “Americanize”. Though, of course, the only BRitish shows I’m familiar with are those I’ve seen here via PBS or BBC A merica. still, terrible idea…

I suppose an Americanized version of DW could use that redhead Russian spy-girl Anna for the Pond-like companion. She’s out of job these days, one hears. Given what she does, acting should be no big deal!
July 8th, 2010 at 6:56 pm
Well, it’s only fair, since the British ripped off the idea for Doctor Who from the “Bill and Ted” franchise.
*whistles innocently*
July 8th, 2010 at 6:58 pm
Coupling was a great series, with hilarious writing. But, it was a bit derivative, in itself. Let’s see:
6 friends with somewhat stereotypical quirks (the slightly weird immature guy, the slightly-nerdy-but-mostly-normal guy obsessed with one of the female characters, the spontaneously loopy female with awkward relationship problems…), at least two of the main characters are in a relationship with one another, they all spend a lot of time in a coffee shop/bar talking about sex and trying to get out of incredibly awkward comedic situations. “Friends”, anyone?
July 8th, 2010 at 6:59 pm
And the real show already relies too heavily on deux ex machina for the series enders.
July 8th, 2010 at 7:02 pm
That’s what cable did in the US.

My dear Naked Bunny, I always thought that the Americanized version of Doctor Who was George Carlin in a telephone booth.
July 8th, 2010 at 7:19 pm
I’m gonna be contrarian. There have been many great SF shows made here in the States. With the right team an American version of Dr. Who could be good.
The one thing I would say against the idea is this: It’s been (and is still being) done. Why not do something new? Or at least another spinoff. Geez, with such a long history there must be something else you could build a show around. Maybe another surviving timelord. We’ve already seen all of Gallifrey nearly make it back, so why not.
As there is no such thing as a “Police Public Call Box” in American culture, the producers will have no choice but rework the TARDIS into something similarly familiar to American audiences:
Or, even better, return its original function of being able to blend in with wherever it happens to be. That would be really cool.
July 8th, 2010 at 7:27 pm
Torchwood is relocating to America, though it will still have a lot of the UK elements and remaining characters. Though as Captain Jack has a US accent, that’s only Gwen who’d have any British-ness about her.
Doctor Who in the US is a long-standing constantly recurring rumour, that will never come to pass as long as its still successful as a TV series in the UK.
July 8th, 2010 at 7:47 pm
Noooo, you linked to a Tim Buckley comic! How could you? Gah! I need to go take a shower now.
July 8th, 2010 at 8:11 pm
I saw the new doctor who on Pbs once. I’d say it was already pretty Americanized.
July 8th, 2010 at 8:12 pm
I’ve recently discovered a UK show called Outnumbered and was distressed to learn they’ll be making an American version of the show. That likely means the UK version will never air in the US, which is a real shame based on what I’ve seen of it.
QI is another UK show I’d wish they’d air in the US.
July 8th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
Anyone remember what a travesty the first American attempt at a Dr Who movie was? Put Dr Who in front of American producers and you’ll get this.
“More boobies.”
“Less talk, more action.”
“Product placement”
“Why does the damn spaceship look like a box? Make it sexy, crome plated and aerodynamic – with lasers. You know, like in Clone Wars.”
“Interracial couples and GAY people, are you mad?”
“Can we change it to a sonic gun?”
July 8th, 2010 at 9:04 pm
The Americanized Doctor Who would be as horrible as that movie they made in the 1990′s.
July 8th, 2010 at 9:14 pm
“As there is no such thing as a “Police Public Call Box” in American culture, the producers will have no choice but rework the TARDIS into something similarly familiar to American audiences:

Or how about a Coke or Pepsi vending machine? Lots of product placement opportunities — if they fix up the chameleon circuit there could be a new sponsor every week!
July 8th, 2010 at 9:33 pm
I wouldn’t worry.
1) If you read the original form of the rumor (which came from a British tabloid, already a bad sign), it is full of warning signs that it was made up. Most significantly, they allege the first confirmation coming via a phone call to Johnny Depp. This is not how movie release information normally comes out, and the telephone interview they quote sounds very implausible. Apparently Depp isn’t as private or as busy as he usually leads people to think. (Or the interview was invented. Take your pick.)
2) The rumors I’ve heard suggest Moffatt is not involved. As I suspect the rumors are false, this part is probably *true* — he’s not involved because there’s nothing to be involved in.
3) There have been rumors of a big picture version of Dr Who, possibly American-produced or co-produced, ever since the release of “Dalek Invasion of Earth, 2160″. The rumors were correct exactly once. Statistically, this is probably just a recurrence of the now quite elderly “American Who” rumor.
4) If they ever *did* do an American Who, I actually can’t think of a better actor than Johnny Depp. First of all, he’d probably do like David Tennant and adopt a Southern British accent. Secondly, the man’s a freakin’ chameleon. I’m not sure there’s a part anywhere that he can’t play, and he’s especially good at the strange ones. Of course, that’s why he makes the rumor plausible.
5) Doctor Who is near and dear to the Brits. Rumors about it are practically a national pasttime. Most of them are untrue — but some of them *are* true, and there’s something about Doctor Who that encourages people to *dream*. So the rumors build! It’s part of the fun, really.
July 8th, 2010 at 9:49 pm
In 1983 there was an attempt to make an American version of Fawlty Towers starring Bea Arthur. The one major change that was made? Getting rid of the character of Basil.

July 8th, 2010 at 10:20 pm
Dr Who is quintessentially British. Somuch of it is tied to British culture. I very, *very* much doubt that it could or would work as a US version. I hope I never have towitness such atravesty take place.
Just for one thing – take the Doctor’s pacifistic approach to weapons (no guns! No Guns! NO GUNS!) verssu teh traditional Amercian love of their weponry and shootouts.
US Dr Who? No. Nup. Nope. Nay. Never!

I can’t see that an American version of the NEW Dr. Who would automatically be worse that the Brit version. It would just be a DIFFERENT kind of bad. As someone said above, Americans will accept any form of crap TV as long as it has a Brit accent (Are You Being Served is a classic example, even worse than the current Dr. Who). I find MI-5 unwatchable with the notable exceptions of the episodes with Mirina Sirtis and Alexander Siddig.
July 9th, 2010 at 1:35 am
OMG OMG, a blonde down on her arse whimpering for the Doc, which laughs in the face of danger and drives straight to it with the hand brake on, wielding nothing but his favorite toy, while everything around goes PEW PEW and BIG BADA BOOM?
That’s exactly what the Doctor has been all about for the past decades, until Moffat finally brought decent Sci-Fi writing, actual time twists and a kickass companion which finally sports charisma, finesse and a brain, besides the usual pretty face and a propensity to get in trouble. Sadly, we won’t get to meet her until the Doc is 1k or so (about time he matured over the looks…), so I really hope Moffat keeps on going, in the UK, USA, or Timbuktu for that matter.
If only the Doctor would go back to his Tennant time, and prevent himself from regenerating, just for a few more years…
July 9th, 2010 at 3:39 am
This is not going to happen, BUT in the American version the Tardis becomes a 400 foot cell tower masquerading as a tree
July 9th, 2010 at 4:21 am
I get it, ’cause all us stupid hick ‘Mericans understand is action, right?
Remember, we keep exporting it because you keep lapping it up.
I’ve watched more than a few episodes of that long-past-expired cash-cow Doctor Who, and it’s equally action-driven as idea-driven, sometimes more so, just in that cheesy 80′s special-effects kind of way where you think you are watching something clever because no one in the writing department could come up with something more ridiculous.
Seems like comedy isn’t the only thing the Brits are a little behind-the-times at.
July 9th, 2010 at 5:18 am
they would have to embrace the american-ness and do something altogether different – take timelords, perhaps, timetravel, sure…dashing derring do and monsters…but for the love of gnod don’t try to copy doctor who. you’ll ruin it!
on the other hand, I could definitely see depp as a quirky timelord. just kinda of…captain jack (sparrow) with a sonic screwdriver, a broken down tardis, drunk, trying to take over the universe. it would be awesome

July 9th, 2010 at 6:16 am
Jason Statham as the Doctor would be hilarious. He is a Brit after all.
@Adrian Lopez
Outnumbered is awesome. Pulling was another great English series.
July 9th, 2010 at 7:37 am
Frankly, I think the recent Doctor Who work is already suffering from the Americanized Paul McGann movie. For one thing, the formerly asexual Doctor basically had a two-season love story with Rose. That’s just wrong. Their kids would have, what, one and a half hearts? Six and a half regenerations?
I thought Christopher Eccleston was a brilliant Doctor. David Tennant didn’t seem like the Doctor at all. I gave up at that point.
But I’m not a knee-jerk opponent of Americanizing the Britcoms. Some may think this blasphemy, but The Office never quite hit its stride in the UK version. The limitations of the 12-episode series worked against them, and most of the characters never got much of an exploration. The UK version was never able to build to an episode like “Dinner Party.” Nor did it have a moment like Pam’s fire walk and outburst at the beach, followed by the scene of Pam and Jim’s beach conversation that flashed through Jim’s head at the interview in “The Job.”
Only in the final episode and the Christmas special did we get to see any moments like that.
I also wish the people involved had made more episodes of “The Young Ones” and fewer episodes of “Bottom.”
July 9th, 2010 at 8:15 am
Speaking of ill-advised “Americanizations” … in late 2008 word got about that Fox was planning on doing a remake of one of MY favorite Britcoms, Absolutely Fabulous with Kristen Johnston (3rd Rock from the Sun) in the role of Patsy Stone. AbFab fans here in the U.S. went ballistic, especially when it became clear that some of the more delirious vices of Patsy and Edwina were going to be suitably toned-down for sensitive American audiences: No booze, just wine. Marijuana and coke? Nope. And smoking CIGARETTES? Oh, no no no no no no, that would be WAY too politically incorrect.
Within a year the project was cancelled. So much the better.
Like you, Phil, I used to watch Coupling on BBC America. I thought it was great. The American version sucked big time. Some things are best left alone. For the most part, Americans take themselves far too seriously to adapt dry British humor.
July 9th, 2010 at 9:16 am
I hope the americanized Top Gear doesn’t lose all the subtlety they put into the original show, or replace everything with over-the-top “monkey cheese bacon helmet I’m so random and wacky” ‘humor’.
In other words, if it’s anything like the Americanized The Office, I’ll be very disappointed.

Old Rockin’ Dave:
There was an Americanized version of “Fawlty Towers”? When was that? I don’t recall ever seeing such a show. (Which might be a good thing.)
Somehow, I don’t think the US censors would allow the anagrams on the broken sign to pass. (Anyone else remember “Flowery Twats“?)
July 9th, 2010 at 11:46 am
This sounds like a really bad idea.
Overall though I will say American tv as a whole has been way better than British TV since around 2000. British TV has gone down hill alot, especially in the area of Comedy. Peep show is an exception and there are a few others.
July 9th, 2010 at 11:56 am
There were TWO American versions of “Fawlty Towers”; “Amanda’s”, starring Bea Arthur, and “Payne”, starring John Larroquette. The latter was, well, watchable; the former was not.
“Reggie”, the American version of “Reggie Perrin”, was vile, too.
I’m a professional computer programmer, but various factors in my life have carried me into the world of show business from time to time, so I can look at these things from a quasi-professional viewpoint. With both “Coupling” and “Reggie” (which also tried to reuse the original scripts), I could actually SEE the thought processes of the Americanizers. “Have to use all the cast members equally in every episode.” “Mustn’t have any long speeches.” “Have to have a resolution.” “In the long run, everyone has to be lovable.” “There has to be an ‘Awwwwww’ moment.”
“Doctor Who”? Hell, America isn’t ready yet for Benny Hill!
(One correction. “Series”, in British TV terminology, corresponds to US “Season”. But early “Doctor Who” did something like 40 half-hour episodes a year. The six-or-so-episode units were serial stories, not series/seasons.)
July 9th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
I just can’t get over the totally awesome idea that Statham was considered for Dr. Who.
I don’t care if it doesn’t really make sense and probably would be terrible in reality. I don’t care if it’s Americanized.
I want Da Stath as Dr. Who, innit!!

I was hoping someone would mention that American pilot to Red Dwarf. The only thing they got right was casting Robert Llewellyn in it (and his wonderful line about whiling away three million years of forced inactivity by reading the “Exit” sign to pass the time.)
Other than that, it was an unmitigated horror.
July 10th, 2010 at 5:08 am
An Americanised Doctor Who would probably be almost as awful as Tim Buckley’s lumpen miscarriage of a comic strip.
