Although the CBC is a co-producer as well - a Canadian Doctor, perhaps?
CBC stopped co-producing after the third series, and stopped broadcasting the show after the fourth series. It airs on Space in Canada now.
Kaylee: Captain seem a little funny to you at breakfast this morning? Wash: Come on, Kaylee. We all know I'm the funny one.
'Heart Of Gold'
Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Compassionately intolerant
QI is the bomb diggety.
I just mainlined the F series. Gold! I'm just sad that Bill Bailey seems to have forsaken them as he has Nevermind the Buzzcocks.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I vote meh. I have a great love for Ian McKellan, but wasn't compelled by any of the other characters.

Ian McKellan seems to be the main draw. From the trailer, Jim Caviezel is no Patrick McGoohan, not by a long shot. He seems completely blah.

No, he's still doing QI - he's in the second episode. Some of these comedians pop up in one panel show after another, on TV and radio. David Mitchell is another one who seems ubiquitous (which I don't mind either).

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Ha, "Hammer into Anvil" was pretty great. I love when Number Six fucks with Number Two instead of the other way around.
Note that the actor playing number 2 also played one of the people 6 contacted at his former agency in Many Happy Returns.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Note on the idea of CKR as a Canadian Dr Who -- he is actually English-born, his family emigrated when he was 2 or so. He could even make a reasonable bid for a regular Doctor slot, though regrettably he's well past the target age they seem to be going for now, alas.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know if we have enough data points to project a future target age.
