Oh, GOODIE, so that means at least two more seasons for Aggy
to tell us all about!!

 And when will you get to see it?

Dave is wrong though. Season 3 is not in production. Bad Wolf have done some pre-production work on spec - commissioning scripts
 etc - but until the deal with Disney is renewed or cancelled, they won't
 have a clue of budgets so can't commit to anything for the BBC.
If Disney re-up - even at a lower rate - then S3 will go ahead as planned.
 But if they don't, expect a delay while the begging bowls go round to
 Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Paramount, HBO ... and if none of those bite, minor
 co-funding asks of RTE, ABC Australia, BBCA etc, before a cheaper (maybe
 much cheaper) S3 is put together. Fewer episodes, lower budgets, fortunately a lot of the Disney moolah has
 been spent on long term assets like the TARDIS set and CGI capabilities so
 it won't go back to looking like the Eighties.
