Jerusalem posted:To be honest, I do worry I'm kind of cluttering up the thread with these reviews, but I figured it's the quiet part of the year for Doctor Who news anyway. Still, I'd be more than happy to see any other aspect of the show (classic, revival etc) be brought up, I just hope I'm not scaring people off with all this talk about a different aspect of the show. I'll bite. I love your reviews, Jerusalem, but I've been meaning to start a conversation about the BBC for a while. Can we talk about how the funding for Doctor Who and the BBC works? I'm an American, so the fact that Doctor Who can't use its profits from merchandising for the actual show's production confuses me. I understand that the BBC is government owned and controlled, but I'm not sure how exactly that works, either. Does Doctor Who get renewed for a new series by the BBC execs or by government officers? or are BBC execs government officers? I just want an outline of how Doctor Who gets approved, financed, and renewed by the BBC. Examples from actual Doctor Who production would really help. I worry this sounds like I'm trying to get this forum to do my homework for me, but I'm honestly just an American nerd that doesn't understand your UK Parliament and state run media.

Bicyclops posted:The BBC is run by the goofy hat Time Lords of Classic Who. This explains so much about Series 3 of Sherlock. Dave Brookshaw posted:The BBC isn't government owned or controlled - its independence from government is in its Royal Charter. It's a corporation (BBC stands for British Broadcasting Corporation) with a Trust who act as oversight. The Royal Charter defines the BBC as existing to serve the public interest by informing, educating, and entertaining the people. They have a list of "public purposes" they aim to meet: http://www.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/insidethebbc/whoweare/publicpurposes Could Parliament change the BBC's charter or perhaps remove it's funding via these fees? Is it possible for the BBC to restructure so that Doctor Who's production was funded from merchandising profits?
