TL;DR

BBC announces a major creative overhaul of Doctor Who, scrapping the Christmas special and letting showrunner Russell T Davies and Bad Wolf depart. With a multi-year regeneration ahead and a tender for Season 16, the series could be off air until as late as 2028 amid budget, ownership and Disney fallout concerns, as the BBC experiments with third-party production.
