In the news: CBC denies burying Intelligence

Jeff Keay, head of media relations for CBC, writes for the Tyee (a rebuttal of the interview with Chris Haddock they ran last week):

  • CBC Fires Back at Haddock
    “We’re happy to see Chris remains a passionate supporter of his show, which we happen to think is pretty good. We’re disappointed he feels he’s not being adequately promoted (but at same time doubt there’s a producer in the history of show business who thinks their program HAS been adequately promoted).” Read more.

In the news: Spy endorses Intelligence

From Michael Wilson, writing for the Toronto Star:

  • Ex-U.S. spy a fan of CBC series
    “How good is CBC’s crooks-and-spies drama Intelligence? Good enough that one of its biggest U.S. fans is a former American intel man turned TV producer. As the season-ending two-parter airs tomorrow night, Michael Wilson has penned a tribute in hopes he can get enough Canadians watching the low-rated show to rescue it from the cancellation expected by its creator, Chris Haddock.” Read more.

In the news: Da Vinci’s Inquest on DVD

From Bill Sherman of Blogcritics:

  • DVD Review: Da Vinci’s Inquest – Season One
    “Though billed on the Acorn set’s slipcase as a “mystery” series, DVI is as much a social drama as it is a police procedural: at least half of the episodes in the first season focus on issues (mercy killing, misuse of political power, mistreatment of the elderly, teen risk-taking) more than unexpected deaths.” Read more.
