Media Guardian Top 100Bookmark and Share

Monday, 9 July 2007 - Reported by Marcus
The Media Guardian has placed Doctor Who's executive producer Russell T Davies as the15th most powerful player in the industry in the UK. Davies, who was placed 28th last year, is described as the person who made family TV drama cool again with his award-winning reinvention of Doctor Who and who put BBC1 back on top in the Saturday night ratings war.

The Tenth Doctor himself, David Tennant, is 24th and described as the most powerful actor in television. The Media Guardian says the definition of a star is someone who can get a project off the ground simply by agreeing to be in it. Tennant is that man.

Also listed is Jana Bennett the BBC's director of vision who comes in 11th.

Current BBC1 controller Peter Fincham is 12th and the Director General of the BBC, Mark Thompson was 3rd in the list.
