You should be able to assume that a publication is correct, however it's not. For example, the Macquarie Dictionary has c**t as the colloquial term for female genitalia. I assure you it's not. It is only a negative term. No one goes to the doctor complaining of a c**t problem, I'm sure. I'm a professional proof reader and apostrophes are not an "either/or" situation. (Unlike choosing 2 words for proof reader over the compound word). I do applaud you, however, for providing such detail in your follow up message. Yes, let's talk about the possible copyright problems in calling his show Dr Hoo.
