Young: Soap Star

The Liverpool Echo ran a piece on Monday called "Former Brookside producer hailed as a prize soap star" referring to new Doctor Who producer Mal Young's at the UK television soap awards, to be televised on ITV1 this Wednesday. Says the article, "Young scooped a special achievement award at the British Soap Awards on Saturday night. The Huyton-born executive spent many years on the now-axed soap Brookside, working his way up from design assistant to producer. Young, 46, is now one of the most powerful men in TV with control over 500 hours of BBC programming every year." There's no mention of Doctor Who in the article, of course. (Thanks to Kenny Davidson)
