The last season of Doctor Who had the lowest ratings in the
history of the series across multiple metrics, which is not
what Disney bargained for. Here's what a long-time source has
told me about the alleged future of Doctor Who on Disney Plus.

According to RTD (Doctor Who Executive Producer) in the latest
DWM [#613] the "first order from Disney was for 26 episodes",
which will be completed once the spin-off "The War Between the
Land and the Sea" has aired. So if Disney are not happy with
what they have been getting from their partnership with the BBC
then there won't be a second order... the deal will have been
completed and both Disney and the BBC can move on. I assume it
will be the ratings for S2/S15 this spring that will be
decisive, but if the ratings/viewing figures are in the same
ball-park as they were for S1/S14 then I would expect Disney to
move on...

Possibly.
But, maybe the BBC will go it alone with a reduced budget for
"Doctor Who" if Disney do not order any more episodes. There's
no guarantee that another streaming service would be be
interested in the show.
Or maybe the BBC will put "Doctor Who" on hold and give it a
break? It wouldn't be the first time...

I don't think the directors of these streaming services live in
the real world. I would never have thought anyone around the
world would subscribe to Disney+ JUST for "Doctor Who"... it's
not that kind of essential show. Maybe when the Tenth Doctor and
Rose/Martha were around it might have happened to some degree,
as that was a popular time for the show. But Disney were being
delusional if they thought in 2023 that "Doctor Who" would be
the show to hook the masses in to their shiny new streaming
service.
Now, I did think "Doctor Who" post 2023 would be more popular
than it has been... but even as a fan, and had I needed to, I
still wouldn't have subscribed to Disney+ just to watch "Doctor
Who" at the prices they are charging.

There is a use for streaming services but I doubt anyone
subscribes to any of them for just one show. When they were a
bit cheaper, and during covid, they played their part in
entertaining us, but now with the continual price rises, and
adverts, people will be more choosy in which ones they
subscribe to. So whenever I see reports that subscriber numbers

With the woke degeneracy set do be worse than ever due to the

their race, gender, sexuality, and gender identity, does

The BBC have killed off the entire franchise by hiring
perverts to run the show who despite 70% of the audience being
male and 97% being heterosexual turned the Doctor into an
autistic lesbian woman and then into an effeminate promiscuous
homosexual, then filled the show with transvestites in order
to sexually groom children. But even that does not compare to
the irreparable damage done the Timeless Child monster which
has destroyed William Hartnell's entire legacy.
Autism, women, homosexuals, and transvestites can all be
tolerated.
The Timeless Child monster cannot!

"Doctor Who" was suffering before Disney came along, if that's
the word you want to use to describe fandom unhappiness and poor
ratings. Disney had nothing to do with the 13th Doctor's era,
which was over before they came along. Plus, the ratings that
the show has been getting in the UK (BBC1/iPlayer) since the
15th Doctor arrived on the scene have nothing whatsoever to do
with Disney either, as "Doctor Who" is not on Disney+ in the UK
& Ireland. So maybe you need to start seeing the bigger picture.

According to RTD (Doctor Who Executive Producer) in the latest
DWM [#613] the "first order from Disney was for 26 episodes",
which will be completed once the spin-off "The War Between the
Land and the Sea" has aired. So if Disney are not happy with
what they have been getting from their partnership with the BBC
then there won't be a second order... the deal will have been
completed and both Disney and the BBC can move on. I assume it
will be the ratings for S2/S15 this spring that will be
decisive, but if the ratings/viewing figures are in the same
ball-park as they were for S1/S14 then I would expect Disney to
move on...
A complete NON-surprise that the ratings are lower than the pre-Disney
seasons. Disney of course bought into Doctor Who because they stupidly
believed it would raise their number of subscribers, which it wasn't
ever going to do and anybody with more than one braincell could have
told them the 'ratings' would drop dramatically. The only legal way for
international viewers to watch "Doctor Who" currently is to subscribe
to Disney+, which most people simply weren't going to bother doing,
especially for just one show and continual prices rises (both for
Disney+ and general retail prices for everything).
Subscription-based streaming services themselves weren't really a good
idea to begin with, let alone numerous services all with their own
'exclusive' content. The old cable and satelitte TV services have been
struggling for decades to retain and grow subscriber numbers.
So Disney+ is not as popular as hoped.
Streaming, and other "beamed" services" are not as popular as
expected/hoped. The way to go is ad paid broadcast, that anyone with a receiver can get.

Possibly.

Or maybe the BBC will put "Doctor Who" on hold and give it a

I'd like to think that RTD would learn from the unimpressive

I don't think the directors of these streaming services live
in the real world. I would never have thought anyone around
the world would subscribe to Disney+ JUST for "Doctor
Who"... it's not that kind of essential show. Maybe when the
Tenth Doctor and Rose/Martha were around it might have
happened to some degree, as that was a popular time for the
show. But Disney were being delusional if they thought in
2023 that "Doctor Who" would be the show to hook the masses
in to their shiny new streaming service.
Now, I did think "Doctor Who" post 2023 would be more popular
than it has been... but even as a fan, and had I needed to, I
still wouldn't have subscribed to Disney+ just to watch
"Doctor Who" at the prices they are charging.
Subscription-based streaming services themselves weren't
really a good idea to begin with, let alone numerous
services all with their own 'exclusive' content. The old

There is a use for streaming services but I doubt anyone
subscribes to any of them for just one show. When they were a
bit cheaper, and during covid, they played their part in
entertaining us, but now with the continual price rises, and
adverts, people will be more choosy in which ones they
subscribe to. So whenever I see reports that subscriber
numbers are down on ______ service I just think, "What did
you expect?"
Nobody can subscribe to everything so somebody is going to
suffer.
DW is suffering beacuse of an antiDisney sentiment.
"Doctor Who" was suffering before Disney came along, if that's

I wouldn't say the BBC have killed off the franchise just yet...
but by the end of the year they might well have done!
S2/S15 could be the make or break season for the show...
Autism, women, homosexuals, and transvestites can all be
tolerated.
That's very generous of you... I never had you down as liberal
minded.
The Timeless Child monster cannot!
Of course, I would say that era of the show has gone but there
will surely be some reminders of the Timeless Child era next
season... RTD seems more of a double-down type of guy than a
retconner!

Even more accurately, streaming services are, unsurprisingly, not as

... mainly because there are simply far too many streaming services.
They can't get the amount of subscribers to maintain the services, so
now most are shifting towards advertising, which will simply push even
more people to stop bothering to subscribe. Some service are also
looking at sharing their "exclusive" content, but it's just far too
late. The number of streaming service will continue to dwindle until

You can at least partly thank the blantant Politically Correctness

gender and ethnicity swapping characaters meant none of them watched
when it was still on free broadcast TV, let alone when it required a

DVD sales likely don't count in the almighty "ratings". (The numbers

moments, but it had a lot of weak points too.
Kick DEI out of entertainment. Discrimination, Exclusion, and
Inequity based on race, gender, sexuality, gender identity,
and disability does not belong in the civilized world. Bring
back the meritocracy.
Is that from your manifesto?
Aggy's concept of "meritocracy" seems extremely similar to white
patriarchy.
Why is that I wonder.
Because you're a moron. Meritocracy means selecting the best, not
selecting people based on their class, race, nationality, gender, skin >colour, or sexuality which have nothing to do with what they're being >selected for.

Is it true that cable is making a comeback, mostly because people are fed
up with spending more for multiple streaming services?

Yes, Chris Chibnall, and RTD said quite openly that he "wouldn't

"oging"??
Oging
The act of poking, jabbing or prodding someone with a
blunt, hard object. Usually used in awkward situations
in an untoward manner, in order to make the situation
more awkward for both.

Jodie Whittaker's Doctor can't have been that much of a

when it airs this spring.. so clearly you lack understanding of
what the term deal-breaker actually means. (No surprise there

Past mistakes? The first RTD era of the show was one of the most
popular times for Doctor Who as a TV show. Sure, it wasn't
perfect, but it was popular among the TV watching audience of
the day. We had an iconic Doctor (David Tennant), high ratings,
merch everywhere (etc.) If RTD and Bad Wolf could get Doctor Who
back to that level of popularity they'd be more than delighted.
And so would we!

It's quite possible that more people have switched off "Doctor
Who" during Ncuti Gatwa's tenure than during Jodie's era? I'm
sure our resident Professor of Literature and Statistics will
have the details on that. The forthcoming season's ratings will
tell a lot.
BUT, nobody could be the deal-breaker for you as you still watch
the show! So "Doctor Who" must be providing you with some sort
of entertainment to keep you engaged for all this time.

Well, if we're playing that game I could say past mistakes
include destroying Gallifrey (again), humpback Daleks and the
Flux!
AGA would throw in the moon thing as well...
We could all find fault with something. So it's best just to go
forward and what's done is done. Plus, I don't think RTD cares
what the fans think anyway.

The story Christopher Eccleston gives has been widely shared in
recent years and it was more to do with him falling out with
Phil Collinson and Julie Gardner during a recording block, and
then RTD doubling-down by supporting his production team and
ignoring Eccleston's criticisms... so Eccleston did his job,
finished his scenes and said f*k you RTD.

And, given what RTD has, apparently, done to Disney 'Doctor
Who', I'm wondering if, maybe, RTD wanted to do something
similar way back then, and Christopher Eccelstion (SP??)
might have walked out in PROTEST.
Might being the operative word of course!
The story Christopher Eccleston gives has been widely shared
in recent years and it was more to do with him falling out
with Phil Collinson and Julie Gardner during a recording
block, and then RTD doubling-down by supporting his
production team and ignoring Eccleston's criticisms... so
Eccleston did his job, finished his scenes and said f*k you
RTD.
Well, I wasn't actually there... so Christopher Eccleston could
have been making it up! ;-)

No, when I saw the Doctor mincing around in a dress in one of the early
episodes, that was it for me. Deal broken.
That was a kilt, not a dress. ;-)
I believe the previous poster was referring to Pat Troughton dressing up as
a washerwoman in The Highlanders, though it's possible they even meant Bill Hartnell in a toga in The Romans. Jon Pertwee also dressed as a female cleaner in The Green Death, though I think we're getting a bit past "one of the early episodes" by that point.

Him nonchalantly telling the policeman he had been snow-balled was it for me.

Filth!
Our mate Aggy would say the 15th Doctor using sexual innuendos
like that backs up his claim that RTD is a sexual pervert and he
is using "Doctor Who" to sexually groom people...

No, he was talking about one of the first scenes of the first eps
with Ncuti dancing at a bar.
