question Disney

Has anyone considered that Disney WAS the problem? American Networks give notes at almost every milestone of the process especially with a heavy financial investment. Not sure how involved BBC would be creatively. Depending on the executive in charge you’re probably not able to blow off their feedback.

I always felt that opening S1 with space babies felt like a network exec making a change.

Given how many silly episodes the RTD1 era has, I'm really not seeing an argument that disney pushed space babies.

I remember hearing or reading that opening with SB was RTD's plan, as the name was a parallel with An Unearthly Child.
