Protestors believed that it was time to have a President that understood them; their culture, and they believed it was only right for a Deaf person to run the worlds only Deaf University for students.

This series started off well because it allowed older viewers to re-immerse themselves back in Elisabeth Sladen’s performance who has been ‘associated with what has been seen as the “golden age” of the classic series’ (Garner. 161) of Doctor Who, and for the younger audience it was created to be aimed for, it easily introduced many of the main cast members as well as the well-known character Sarah Jane.

It seems like TLC, the station that produces the show, is only interested in exploiting the Gosselin children and treating them as commodities. They claim already to have seen signs of adverse effects and resentment among the children at the constant cameras zooming in on their every move.
