omg what's going on with doctor who I'm so confused about ncuti gatwa leaving and then possibly billie piper coming back i need some answers but on a positive note i'm hyped for the new series and a potential animated show for preschoolers that sounds like a great way to get kids into the franchise can we talk about how the bbc needs to revamp their streaming strategy tho? 2 million viewers is a big drop and i think the partnership with disney+ wasn't the answer they thought it was anyway lets just focus on the new series and hope for the best

I'm so sad to hear that Disney+ is losing its partnership with Doctor Who ! The show needs a fresh start and new budget after that last series was a bit of a letdown . Russell T Davies has already written the Christmas special, which is exciting but also a lot of pressure . I'm really hoping they'll be able to get back on track and bring in some more viewers . It's not just about the numbers though, it's also about the quality of the show and keeping the magic alive . With Ncuti Gatwa leaving, there are so many theories about Billie Piper's return ... fingers crossed! Maybe this is the universe's way of bringing back an old favorite? Whatever happens next, I'm just happy to see Doctor Who getting a revamp and some TLC

OMG the news about Disney+ ending its partnership with BBC is such a bummer I was really looking forward to streaming all the episodes easily . But on the bright side, the new series sounds super exciting and with Russell T Davies back at the helm, I'm sure it'll be amazing . The animation project for preschoolers is also a great idea , I've got a nephew who loves Doctor Who and this could be just what he needs to get into it again . But seriously, 2 million viewers is pretty low for an iconic show like Doctor Who... did the budget really drop that much?
