There is no discussion. Doctor Who definitely can belong in rec.arts.sf.tv and rec.arts.tv and rec.arts.tv.uk.misc among a few other newsgroups.

 rec.arts.sf.tv certainly. I think the other two groups would be pushing things, since the great majority of their readers are unlikely to have watched or be interested in the show. (More fool them, I agree, but  their wishes should be respected.)

Doctor Who is a TV show, so by definition it can be posted about in general TV newsgroups such as rec.arts.tv and rec.arts.tv.uk.misc that are not specific to a particular show / genre.

That would be the case if there weren't any more specific groups for DW, but since there are it seems reasonable to suppose that anyone really interested in the show will be subscribed to at least one of those more specific groups.

If some of the people using that newsgroup don't like Doctor Who (or whatever show) posted there, then that's their problem. I don't like 90% of the shows they post about either, but they're certainly allowed to post about them and they are far more on topic than all the silly political posts that infest rec.arts.tv

Never having followed rec.arts.tv, I couldn't comment on that.
