   According to RTD (Doctor Who Executive Producer) in the latest   
   DWM [#613] the "first order from Disney was for 26 episodes",   
   which will be completed once the spin-off "The War Between the   
   Land and the Sea" has aired. So if Disney are not happy with   
   what they have been getting from their partnership with the BBC   
   then there won't be a second order... the deal will have been   
   completed and both Disney and the BBC can move on. I assume it   
   will be the ratings for S2/S15 this spring that will be   
   decisive, but if the ratings/viewing figures are in the same   
   ball-park as they were for S1/S14 then I would expect Disney to   
   move on...
