 So Davies is confirming that hardly anyone watched Doctor
Whoke on Disney+ and is claiming streaming services are shit
and its better to make shows the old way in order to prepare
everyone for the fact that Disney+ won't be renewing Doctor
Whoke and as a result he's told Disney to go out and fuck
grass. Unless wokery is driven out of the entertainment
industry no good new writers, directors, and other TV creators
will ever emerge.

 The big streaming services are pricing themselves out of it for
some people, but what they have delivered is quantity of
content. There's no longer just four channels to watch, with
programmes only on at set times. You can watch what you want,
when you want. Viewers are more picky and choosy with their
entertainment choices these days... and if they don't like
something, they will switch it off and watch something else.
 RTD needs to look in the mirror if not as many people are
watching Doctor Who as he'd like... it has got nothing to do
with the streaming "bubble". Whatever the Disney+ viewing
figures are they don't affect how Doctor Who performs in the UK.
Which should be the most important metric to the BBC.

The BBC doesn't have advertising, so the number of viewers watching isn't as relevant as it is for regular advert-funded TV networks.
