I can see it going. I only watch it randomly and the last season was just a mess. It's felt a bit lost since Capaldi's era.

I can't see it happening now Disney are involved. It may go on a bit of hiatus like it did mid Tennant years but it kinda did that post-Jodie.

I've also no idea what the international market is like and streaming numbers.

It also reads like its still hitting the target demographic from that entire article and is just click bait.

Funnily enough, Disney being involved is a major reason it probably will go. Streaming companies tend to be very quick at chopping shows that don't perform well. I know the viewership numbers have sunk again with last Christmas being pretty low too.

Yeah on shows that relatively new not with 60 years of history and recognition of it. That's why they are still producing Star Wars shows.

I guess the variable there will be the BBC. Disney might drop it, but it's up the BBC to carry on if they wish.

Finally finished Cobra Kai. Loved it.

Just a rumour, but an interesting one.

So, the rumour is the show hasn't been cancelled, but put on hold while a reset takes place. They're apparently not happy with the direction RTD has took the show, so are now restarting it with a new doctor etc.

I guess that makes sense seeing as RTD is off doing other things and we've heard that a regeneration has been filmed.

Was really looking forward to the third series of The White Lotus.
Already on Ep 4 and its been a bit of a disappointment so far.

I think the BBC took Dr Who off the BBC America cable channel and sold distribution to Disney for more money.

As far as I know Disney doesn't have any input or editorial say.

Disney's money probably just ups the production budget plus some money to the BBC.

BBC sold Torchwood to the starz channel who promptly Americanised it and took it to it's death.

It's like, will Amazon's James Bond suddenly become an American?
