## Resource

Should the BBC have travelled stateside for the FIFA World Cup or stayed in Salford? And have bosses really cancelled the long-Running sci-fi stalwart Doctor Who? The World Cup has finally landed in the Americas, but time zones are preventing fans from watching the games. Richard Osman and Marina Hyde review the best and worst 'content' from the tournament, from Piers Morgan's podcasting attempts to the controversial ref-cam smothering our screens. What does it mean that the BBC has put Doctor Who out 'to tender'? Richard has the inside track and has a unique suggestion for the next Timelord.
