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....
