Give to charity, save Ianto

By Jeff Trexler on July 26, 2009 7:54 PM | | | Comments (9)

Fan campaigns to save shows & characters have a rich history, going back at least to the landmark letter-writing campaign that persuaded NBC not to cancel Star Trek back in the 1960s. (FYI: the book linked above is a must read collection of primary source material for anyone interested in the history of nonprofit organized fan associations.)

Now, fans of Torchwood are using a charitable fundraiser to persuade the BBC to bring back a character who was killed in the latest--and in my opinion, brilliant--season.

Word is the effort won't succeed in bringing back Ianto, but so far it has raised about $5,000 for BBC's Children in Need.

Based on the general mood at Comic-Con, I think Heroes could raise money for charity by offering to keep the show off the air if former fans raised a certain amount.
