Doctor Who: 10 Reasons The BBC Should Increase The Budget

10. Steven Moffat Says So

Even though he denies it. In a recent interview he is quoted as saying: "The schedule and the pressure of trying to do Doctor Who on any budget €“ including Avatar's €“ is horrific". "I am never, ever going to say I've got enough " He went on to say: "Doctor Who is incredibly well looked after by the BBC €“ they are incredibly aware of its crown jewel status, that it's not merely a show that's successful now" This means that although he has a budget he can work with and produce a good show, he would like to have more. The BBC have instigated cut backs and this was the key factor behind the splitting of the series. If they now truly appreciate both the program itself and its financial benefits then the logical thing to do is increase the budget.
