I predict the show will pick up a lot of young girls and secure a few more decades of fans. I also think the crusty male die-hards who can't handle it are no real loss. The show needs to look ahead to new, young fans, not rely on 50+ year olds not to die of old age too soon.

Like D&D, really.

Financially, the BBC doesn't work like that. It won't panic, don't worry. It's not a commercial organisation, and has a charter to do things which commercial studios often can't.

I was aware of spikes of 12yo girl viewers during the Tennant and Smith years. Less during Capaldi. This might continue that, possibly even getting younger viewers.
