I think it's practically a necessity at this point. I'm not in the camp of "Doctor Who should have a shoestring budget," but it could probably contract to at least the equivalent of what it was during the Chibnall era.

    To be fair, the Chibnall run looked really good to me. I don't want to stir the "Chibnall bad" pot, but the visual effects were absolutely top notch for a BBC produced show. Same with all of Moffat's seasons.

    What they can afford now vs then is a completely different matter, but the fact that they're looking to do a solicitation round for external production companies might be telling. AFAICT the BBC's charter is up for renewal next year, and that may determine their finances going forward?
