THE Dr Who television series. which has been sold to television stations around the world, is at the centre of a £22m dispute. The BBC said yesterday that it would "vigorously contend" accusations that it reneged on a deal for a feature film.<br />
<br />
A consortium of three film-makers and other backers, including the pop stars Bryan Ferry and John Insley of Dire Straits, issued a writ in the High Court yesterday seeking immediate compenstation for £1m they say they lost when the deal failed. They are also claiming damages of £21m for potential profits from the three film versions of Dr Who they planned to make. <br />
<br />
The popular series saw several actors play the Doctor, including Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker. <br />
