I think the bottom line is: this series won't keep itself alive. It's on Disney+ being introduced to the world (beyond current fans) and this is not going to cut it. It won't add new watchers with this quality of work. It's losing fans it had! It won't be renewed by Disney. It won't be renewed by BBC. Unless something changes.
The Doctor will go back on the shelf for another 25 years or so, and perhaps get another chance then. You HAVE to have more than niche appeal. You can't just say "Oh, that RTD!❤️" Because no executive is going to cough up money for your friend or hobby.
Make the show GOOD again, with these characters, in this storyline, but we can't afford for this to be on person's self-indulgent pet project. Keep RTD accountable to ENTERTAIN, to scare kids behind couches.
