I guess destroying a TV franchise that has been around for decades and appeasing the few loud-mouthed Politically Correct whiners might be considered a "contribution".-a :-\
-a-a Doctor Who boss Russell T Davies to receive major award
-a-a for contribution to television
-a-a -------------------------------------------------------
-a-a "Russell's impressive body of work has helped place Wales
-a-a firmly on the world stage."
-a-a Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies is set to be honoured
-a-a with the award for Outstanding Contribution to Television
-a-a Award by BAFTA Cymru.
-a-a The Welsh writer, who has also penned TV hits including Queer
-a-a as Folk, Years and Years, and It's a Sin, will be presented
-a-a with the award at the BAFTA Cymru Awards on 5th October.
-a-a The exciting news was announced in an Instagram post from
-a-a BAFTA Cymru, reading: "We're delighted to announce that
-a-a writer-producer-showrunner, @russelltdavies63 OBE will
-a-a receive this year's Outstanding Contribution to Television
-a-a Award. Russell's impressive body of work has helped place
-a-a Wales firmly on the world stage."
-a-a Davies said: "Receiving this Outstanding Contribution Award is
-a-a an honour. It means people have watched something and
-a-a remembered something that you've done."
-a-a The writer is well known for his dedication to seeing Wales
-a-a represented in his work, most prominently when it was decided
-a-a that Cardiff would be the new home of Doctor Who when Davies
-a-a brought it back to screens in 2005.
-a-a A 2023 report revealed that Doctor Who contributed
-a-a approximately -u134.6m in GVA (Gross Value Added) to the Welsh
-a-a economy between 2004 and 2021. It also found that Doctor Who's
-a-a return was a pivotal moment and became a catalyst for
-a-a investment in the Welsh creative industries over the past 15
-a-a to 20 years.
-a-a Previously speaking to WalesOnline, Davies reflected on the
-a-a importance of telling Welsh stories in his projects, saying:
-a-a "I was very keen to get Welsh stories into my work, like Doctor
-a-a Who was filmed in Cardiff, it's why I invented Torchwood which
-a-a is set in Cardiff Bay, because I'm passionate about getting
-a-a minorities on screen and I think Wales is a minority."
-a-a His next drama, Tip Toe, is set to air on Channel 4 next year
-a-a and will star Alan Cumming and David Morrissey.
-a-a Speaking to the Big Issue, Davies said: "Tip Toe is Queer as
-a-a Folk crossed with Years and Years. That's exactly what it is.
-a-a I'm very proud of it. It's radical. It's savage. And it's
-a-a hilarious.
-a-a "It is the strongest thing I've written - I do believe Queer as
-a-a Folk, Cucumber, It's a Sin and Tip Toe are the ones that will
-a-a be on my gravestone."

"Politically Incorrect" was canceled years ago.
As for "Dcotor Who", some people say it was already effectively destroyed >years ago.
Western Culture is destroying itself, so it's just a symptom of a wider >problem.
