Classic Who is the third most popular cult TV show in terms of DVD/Blu ray sales, well ahead of New Who which languishes down at no. 10! The Official Top 10 entertainment franchises of 2017 revealed No wonder the BBC is keen on special editions and animations! |

The only nu-Who that came out in 2017 was a Christmas special which don't sell that well and series 10 in late Nov. |

It's still a huge seller, however you look at it. Pretty much guarantees us another animation this year. |
