   Doctor Who's Future Stalled Due to Disney Issues, Says Former Writer

 Wrong. The BBC can easily have "discussions" now with whoever they like based on the proviso that any new agreement would not start until Disney officially pulls the plug.

The BBC has to offer Disney first choice before it can conclude a deal with any other broadcaster. That means that the BBC has to wait until Disney tells it whether or not it will renew the existing contract at the already agreed renewal fee or else cancel. Obviously Disney is not going to say it's cancelled the series until every episode airs including the woke Sea Devils garbage led by a man hating misandristic woman who is totally incompetent in her job.
Until Disney officially cancels Doctor Whoke there is no way that Netfix, Amazon, or HBO will sign an agreement with the BBC since they don't know what Disney was paying or needed to pay to renew the rights so that they can either match it or make a lower offer.
One thing that is certain is the Amazon paid less than Netflix for the show and HBO paid less than Amazon and Disney paid less than HBO. The figure of $100 million is pure bullshit. The show doesn't look like it had $4,000,000 spent on each episode let alone $8,000,000. The show was already filming in 4K since Capaldi's last episode so there is no increase in the budget since then for that and effects are no better than you can do on an RTX 4090 in real time while gaming. Also each episode was filmed either in the studio and using green screen or in only one or at most two locations with only a small number of actors and hardly any extras.
I doubt that more than about $600,000 was spent on each episode since the production values look no better than they did in 2005 and technology is now much cheaper.
Given 8 episodes per season plus the specials and spin-off I doubt Disney paid the BBC more than $15 million in total or $5 million per series which is less than was being spent on the show back in 2005, £8 million for the first series and £6 million for the rest, and you got 13/4 episodes per series back then.
Given that Netfix, Amazon, and HBO dumped the series one by one since no one was watching it after it went woke why would they even contemplate giving the BBC millions for what they know is absolute crap which no one wants to watch?
Why would they pay the BBC $15 million for a 3 year deal to show a series which has become totally infantile under RTD as if it were written by a 6 year old child that has never read a book before because the sick disgusting pervert wants to use it to sexually groom children?
Why would they want to pay millions for a show which has totally alienated and disenfranchised its entire audience who were almost all male by constantly attacking men and masculinity and placing totally incompetent women in male roles and positions of power and authority and making everything about feelings, sentiment, and emotion, rather than the hero's journey, logic, reason and rationality, and with magic which is pulled out of thin air without explanation or any kind of world building being used to solve problems instead of scientific methodology and deductive thinking which is how a man thinks?
Why would they pay millions for a show which is targeted at girls aged 12 or under and homosexuals, and audience which doesn't exist for it, when they could spend all of that money making something new and original for that audience featuring pretending to be princesses and going on teddy bear's picnics which they will actually watch since they're clearly not watching Doctor Whoke because it was always a boy's show until the sick and degenerate woke extremist perverts decided that men were not good enough for it.
