   So, the cock of doom and his angry aggy parrot notwithstanding, Disney Plus   
    has finally made a statement about their experience of the show. "Doctor   
    Who was   
   a top 5 series on Disney+ globally every week it aired."   
      
   That is a much more positive view for the bottom line, and for the prospects   
    of a follow up Disney deal, than I've ever heard.

   If that level of Disney viewership is sustained, and it can stay a top 10   
    show on the BBC, then renewal is looking more and more likely. Even if the   
    quality doesn't improve (and we're guaranteed at least one very whimsical   
    and childish episode, with the recent cartoon Alan Cumming episode   
    announcement ...)   
      
      
   --   
   There’s no point in being grown up if you can’t act a little childish   
    sometimes.
