[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 439886, member: 40536"] Whether you care about it or not, I can assure you that the BBC, Disney and other potential streaming partners care A LOT. Reality is that the show has no new streaming partner, no plan to resume production. And if those things that you don't care about are not addressed, there will be no new series for the foreseeable future. And I don't recall you addressing any of it, especially the declining ratings. Blimey? You are overlooking important points. Disney expected to have a successful partnership with the BBC. Disney is in business to make $. They did not extend the partnership, because it was not generating the ratings, interest and revenues, obviously. That is the result of not enough viewers (whether they are fans or not) which indicates that the show was not very good and/or not appealing to the perceived fanbase, and/or could not appeal to new fans and/or could not appeal to longer time fans. Clearly, the show was not good enough and/or did not have enough viewers. It will be difficult to partner with another streaming service as a result, unless the BBC makes changes. That is the Marketplace. That is the business side that determines whether Doctor Who will have a new series. It can't be ignored. Clearly, Doctor Who has numerous issues. If it is to return, its failures need to be acknowledged and addressed so that it can be repaired. That discussion is probably well underway at the BBC. Ultimately, the only opinions that matter are the BBC's and potential streaming partners, with regard to any future new series, since they will be the ones producing it. [/QUOTE]
