Russell T Davies Says He “Kind Of Hopes” The Streaming Bubble Will “Pop”


Russell T Davies talks 'Doctor Who' Christmas Special & BBC-Disney deal, saying he hopes the streaming bubble will pop one day.

Pondering the future of the industry on the BBC’s Today, Davies said he “kind of hopes it does pop” in reference to the streaming revolution, which has experienced serious teething problems since Disney invested in Doctor Who. As we revealed recently, the future of the BBC-Disney deal hangs in the balance and Davies said no decision has yet been made over Season 3 of the regenerated version, which stars Ncuti Gatwa as the 14th Doctor. He was speaking a day after the Christmas special trailer was unveiled, which features Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan as she and Gatwa take on dinosaurs after opening a secret doorway to a time hotel.
