      I don’t know if this is that internet hyperbole thing but just want to point out that Disney bought the worldwide distribution rights for a couple dozen episodes, not the actual show itself. BBC still owns the show and has the UK distribution rights.

        I was under the impression that Disney had significant creative control over the development of the most recent seasons, but I could be wrong. I guess I was just thrown off by the fact that every ad for the latest season I’ve seen has a Disney logo on it, and I assumed it went the way of so many American shows and franchises Disney has engulfed.
