How do you know that? Do you work for Disney? How do you know how much 
Disney paid? Are you on the Disney board? Are you their financial 
advisor? All of these figures are made up by the FAKE NEWS.

LOL... They've not even got the title right. It's called "Joy to the 
World" as in the Christmas song.

This is all crap made up by the FAKE NEWS. Do you remember the deal 
Moffat was supposed to have made with China? More fake news. There was 
never any deal because science fiction involving time travel is banned 
in China as are gay kisses and any other form of gay propaganda.

The FAKE NEWS claims Disney paid $200 million for two seasons of Doctor 
Whoke and The Wokolyte cost $250 million for one season.

I still don't see £12 million being spent on each episode unless RTD and 
Bad Wold pocketed most of it for their own greedy selves.

Well, let's see, given how badly Doctor Whoke faired, getting 10 times 
fewer viewers than the already cancelled Wokolyte, it might not even be 
worth the bandwidth and storage space for Disney+ to even screen it. 
They might even claim it as a tax write-off like Warner did with Batgirl.
