To keep some Doctor Who content here on RADY
(rec.arts.dave.yadallee) here's an article from "Deadline"
about Doctor Who and Disney... for those interested in the
opinions of others about such things.

Tidbits that I took out of the artical ....
1. "well-connected sources have estimated more than doubled the show’s per-ep investment to around the £10M ($13M) mark, with the deal valued by some at around £100M." .... are 'they' suggesting there will only be 10 Eps??
2. "Making stars of iconic Doctors such as Tom Baker, William Hartnell, Jon Pertwee and, more recently, Matt Smith, it has been airing on and off for more than 60 years" .... Interesting that, after listing three Classic Doctors, the ONLY NewWho Doctor they list is DoctorMatt .... not the most popular incarnation.
