THE BBC has said it is “fully committed” to Doctor Who after it was announced that Disney+ is ending its participation in the show.

Disney+ has been the home of the sci-fi show outside the UK for the past two series.
Disney also partnered with the corporation on upcoming show The War Between The Land And The Sea, which is a spin-off of Doctor Who.
However, the BBC confirmed the show will continue and will return with a Christmas special written by Swansea-born Russell T Davies next year.
