10 Reasons We're Entering A Doctor Who Golden Age

Thanks to the Disney+ deal, the new era of Doctor Who will have unprecedented global reach.

For existing American and Australian viewers, this is something of a mixed bag. In those countries, the show has previously been available to watch on free-to-air TV networks like BBC America and ABC. Going forward, it will be hidden behind the paywall of a Disney+ subscription.

However, on the whole, the deal will make Doctor Who much more accessible to a worldwide audience, giving the show more potential fans than it's ever had in its history.

Plus, with parties like Bad Wolf and Disney involved, the show’s budget is bigger than ever. Although reports of £10 million per episode have been debunked, RTD has revealed that the current budget is “more than I’ve ever had to work with."

Doctor Who has always been 'the little show that could'. But it's time for it to level up, and featuring on one of the biggest streaming services in the world is a surefire way to do just that.
