In the latest news as part of our now weekly “frivolous complaints about Doctor Who” series here at DWW, the BBC have received complaints over The Guardian newspaper being “given an unfair amount of promotion” in Doctor Who, The Guardian itself reports.
Two whole viewers have complained to Ofcom (the government-approved regulatory and competition authority for broadcasting) after Jenna Coleman’s Clara Oswald was seen clutching a Saturday edition of the newspaper during scenes with Danny Pink during last week’s Listen.
The complaints suggested that the newspaper amounted to product placement which is of limits to the BBC.
Ofcom declined to investigate.
