Natalie Bassingthwaighte told @blackbox that the BBC did not pay royalties for the Rogue Traders song Voodoo Child in an episode of Doctor Who.

The episode referred is The Sound of Drums from 2007.

Two insiders said it was a mutual parting of the ways after all sides realized that Doctor Who required a level of surgery that could not be masked by the sticking plaster of a festive episode. This creative surgery is expected to take years, potentially keeping the show off TV until 2028 at the earliest, sources said.

To be honest, I think a rest is a good idea. Just wish they hadn’t left the cliffhanger so open. But I feel they’ll need to come back with a soft relaunch and a new doctor from scratch, and Billie’s appearance can be explained away in an audio drama down the track.

IMO keeping the cliffhanger even more open would’ve served them better.

Ending the episode mid-regeneration without seeing who the next Doctor is would’ve allowed them to pick up from scratch similar to Troughton/Pertwee (or Baker/McCoy) and circumvent the Billie problem entirely.

Agreed, especially if they don’t have a plan in place
