Not only does he manage to get his thought sin the papers by namechecking Ms Winehouse, he also manages to slag off a portion of Doctor Who fandom...

"They are not real fandom, though, they are a core of mostly men who like to complain," he said. "Fandom is bigger and richer than that, and they are only about 1,000 people who give everyone else a bad name and build their life around a show."

Don't hold back Russell, tell us what you really think!
