A brilliant way to start your Saturday mornings
Whats Up Doc was the funniest Saturday morning show since TisWas. The reason it died was due to changes demanded by Sandy Ross head of STV in season 3 causing the resignation of the shows creators and producers. That superb decision saw it fold shortly after!
"the show's near the knuckle student humour didn't go unnoticed by the ITC and after a few rapped knuckles Sandy Ross, head of STV was worried that Warner Bros would take their business elsewhere. The creators and producers of the show, Vanessa Hill and Ged Allen, resigned rather than watering down the show. Despite this Sandy Ross employed a safer alternative in the producer roles and in the process took away the fun and innovativeness of the show and the viewing figures plummeted. The wolves jumped ship to BBC, "What's Up Doc?" folded shortly after."
