[QUOTE="alexpaige, post: 441264, member: 55379"] That is a good point. Why the hell has it taken so long for them to decide to put it out to tender, given how long ago Disney made clear it was no longer interested in being a co production partner? It's also noteworthy, I think, that no one has explained or even addressed why it is that the BBC can't make the show inhouse, as they did when it came back in 2005 and until (I think) the return of RTD. Is it just because the BBC can't afford it? It sure seems like it, but Doctor Who must make them a load of money in merchandising rights, so why the hell can't they channel that money into the production? Is it still not enough?? I feel that the latest round of announcements from the BBC are heavy on spin and short on facts. It (depressingly) reminds me of back in 1989 when they cancelled the show. Back then they never announced it was cancelled. They said it was being put out to tender then too, almost exact same wording, which RTD would be well aware of so he is clearly being disingenous when he says he can't understand why fans with long term memories would have alarm bells ringing.
