Post by BlueshirtRTD has some interesting thing to say about the streaming
services...

<<Davies went on to say that there are “too many streamers and too much
money, not everyone is watching these things, it can’t be financially
viable.”
He continued: “I kind of hope it does pop, so we can go back to making
those 8pm and 9pm dramas about say, a bunch of British lawyers or a
health centre”. Davies said he hoped that this would pave the way for
new training grounds for writers, directors and other TV creators in
dramas that “don’t cost a fortune but teach people how to make TV.”
Davies rejoined the long-running sci-fi drama Doctor Who as a writer in
2023 after Disney+ had joined forces with the BBC, giving the show a
major funding boost and streaming the UK series globally.
“The BBC made a move to go to a streamer” Davies told listeners. “[The
BBC] thought the show deserved to look as good as Stranger Things or
Star Wars [the series], why should we be the humble show being made in a
shoe cupboard? That’s the way everything is heading.” ...
<< ... Looking to the future of Doctor Who, Davies insisted that no
decision had been made as to a third series of the Disney/BBC deal,
saying “the BBC will decide its future.”>>
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.
