With its usual bombastic headlines and exaggeration of facts, The Sun reports that "Tills ring to keep Dr alive", whereas what Steven Moffat actually says is more reasonable and a bit heartwarming.
Steven Moffat said cash from toys, DVDs and the Doctor Who Experience was "partly to raise money to make the show". Each episode costs about £1 million but the Beeb, under pressure to cut costs, puts in just £700,000.
The rest is raised from merchandising.
Moffat added: "It isn't possible to give Doctor Who enough money. We could spend Avatar's budget."
Personally, I feel satisfied that fans across the world are able to contribute towards Doctor Who's growing success by feeding our love (Read: cash) back into the BBC. Makes our 76 Totter's Lane posts seem less silly now, doesn't it? No? Not even a little?
