"The end of the BBC is undoubtedly on its way'
THE man who brought the Time Lord back to TV screens believes time is running out for the BBC.
Doctor Who boss Russell T Davies told fans the end of the corporation is "undoubtedly on its way".
But he is confident their favourite time-traveling character will survive any future transition.
Russell, 60, who oversaw the successful revival of Doctor Who in the mid-2000s, said the decision to coproduce the latest series with streaming giant Disney was to "prepare" for it to outlive the UK broadcaster.
He said: "Before they [the BBC] approached me, I had already said...İ think Doctor Who would have to become a co-production. There's no way the BBC is going to fund that.
