Where Now For Doctor Who?

The Doctor Who movie co-production between the BBC and Fox television has now been aired in both the US and the UK. Fox seem to have decided not to make it into a series, and no word has been forthcoming from the BBC. This is not however completely bad news; the rights for producing Dr Who remain with Fox until the end of the year at which point they revert to the BBC. The BBC are therefore not in a position to either go-it-alone or to find another co-production deal until early in the new year.

Whether they will do so once the way is cleared remains to be seen....
