Doctor Who film rumours - not really a rumour, not really news

I don't post every single Doctor Who rumour, because there are roughly 2 gazillion a day. Recently they've all been about Billie Piper, and probably have no truth in them, but seeing as she's getting her kit off on telly people thought they'd write about her.

Today sees a perfect example of the artform of taking a mild comment and making it into a story, by The Guardian.
The BBC controller of fiction, Jane Tranter says:

"I would not rule out a film version of Doctor Who".

..which seems very sensible and not really surprising. The Guardian says:

"BBC considers Doctor Who movie"

...and writes an entire piece about it.

Are they that short for news?
