I voted no too. Read my earlier post for my explanation. Spin-offs dissapoint.

| Spinn offs and sucess |

Someone asked earlier in this forum why did so many people watch this series if they didnt know who doctor who was?
Easy question. Generally its because they didnt know who Doctor who was!
Even the most die hard of fans were left wondering what the new doctor was going to be like
I shall ignore (for the sake of this post) that the content of the series was absolutely gripping stuff and tremendously well written. .
So why should it be a success? Why should people wonder who Dr. who was/is?
RTD did the most astounding marketing foreplay that British television has ever seen. Apart from the fact that Doctor who fandom has never been exterminated and has made a great campaign to bring the show back from the dead, RTD made sure that months before, people where looking up the series on the internet (the place where most fans have been hiding, and in their wait have seen fit to have offspring, round about now somewhere between 5 and 25 years old (also now internet junkees).
Quick look at RTDs marketing statagey, which has incidentally got us hooked on his product (yesssssss!).
1) Press leaks to the sun, errr the daleks are dead! The Terry nation estate did have some real issues with the daleks copyright but still great publicity for a show which, in the end is bigger than the Daleks.
2) Casting two well know and popular personalities in Britain CE + BP eye candy for dads and mums.
3) Little teaser clips on tv and internet remember ... Its almost time .... But not yet?
4) Breakfast time, daytime and night time television interview snippets which generally said nothing but whet the appetite none the less.
5) Did I mention a huge web page with interactive games?
6) He kept the press guessing at just about everything to do with the series, right down to the master stroke of fooling them all releasing three different episodes none of which were to go out on that fateful regeneration saturday.
7) Snippet previews eveywhere teasing you senseless, for the last episode 5 diffeerent 10 second trailers-.........Brilliant.
This is how you make a series into a success. A spin off to work would have to be hyped as being bigger and better that the DW series, I reckon that DW is just to hard an act to follow.

I guess that it may work, if it was only say a one off special, but i don't think a whole season would work somehow.

All you have to do is look at Buffy and Angel... that was a success.
Keep Jack in for a couple of series so the viewers can relate to him and when he becomes even more popular, then decide to make his own spin-off.
Your right - not many spin-offs work but has any spin-offs included a Time Agent searching for his last 2 years of his life?
Another success spin-off is Stargate SG-1 and then Stargate Atlanits.
I'm saying to do a Jack spin-off right away, I'm saying keep him onboard the TARDIS for a couple more series and when the time is right release a series of Jack.
Plus, we have one of the best writers ever in RTD to make Jack a success.

you guys wouldn't believe how successful stargate sg-1 is, and it looks like atlantis is really taking off here to.
i think jack is a perfect character for a spin off he is obviously attractive, he's american (major positive), and he's funny.
i say being american is a major psitive only in the sci fi series (spin off) context.
can't wait to see the movie!
