    Great points.

    My family watches as a group all the time, and Doctor Who features prominently.

    But my DVD purchases probably aren’t being accounted for in their stats.

    Also, Disney almost certainly lied to the BBC about streaming popularity, to save on license fees or something.

      Well, if you’re buying your DVDs new, the BBC home media branch surely appreciate your patronage. Part of that money will probably find its way back to the broadcasting and production companies?

      But of course, DVDs don’t count toward those vaunted viewer ratings, and that’s another thing that skews those numbers.
