In the UK, at least, it shouldn't make any difference as Doctor Who is still a BBC production. Outside the UK, it's anyone's guess (as outside the UK where where the Disney distribution comes into play).
Love when family is so supportive
So sorry to hear that. I know what it’s like to have family (by blood in fact) that prefers being cruel and hostile instead of supportive, or at least neutral. It’s no one’s place to tell someone else that, especially when they should know and treat you better.
I never knew you were in a band. Wouldn't mind you sending me a link to the tracks if they're available anywhere online. That's sad that your father-in-law has to be so petty like that. Sadly this often happens within families but just stay true to yourself and follow your dream. Don't listen to other people who try to put you down - it's often a projection of their own unhappiness on to someone else, so take no heed of it.
Though my parents (born 1915 and 1916) had their share as cogwheels in the Nazi machinery (my mother having been a small-town BDM head, my father an army artillery batallion commander - though never a party member -, spending five years as a POW in the USSR in return until 1950) I have never heard them actually utter a bad word about Jews. They brought me up pointing out that Jewish Germans (say Heine, Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Liebermann...to just name a few from different arts) contributed greatly to German culture, and while my parents obviously went along with the times before I was ever expected to be born, I never gained the impression they had really adopted the racism dictated by the Third Reich.
And I am appalled that such anti-semitism pops up again today. I don't mean expressing legitimate criticism of the Israeli government, but by using those old code words (amounting to the same as Hitler's "Jewish-Bolshevik World Conspiracy" - which really is not so far from what Stalin also said against the Jews - Trotskiy was probably assassinated because he was one) and blaming the likes of George Soros (more of a self-made billionaire than TFG), but really only a fall guy and code name for everyone Jewish, for everything the reactionaries and Fascists don't like about this world and its liberal democracies.
I commend you for being so open about your experience...I don't know if I would, but then, I don't have anything comparable to disclose. Let's just say it moved me, and I hope you can keep on coping with it.
Thank you for the kind words and respect, as well as sharing some of your own background. Prejudice and bigotry are things that have always been and will always be in fashion I’m afraid, for a great many disturbed individuals anyway. I believe in my heart, though, those that are not hateful outweigh those who are, and I’ve also been around many great people who don’t care about things like race.
I could share a million not so good stories about my dad unfortunately, but the main reason I do is just to put it out there for relatability. I know that a lot of people out there have had bad parents, and I just want to point out how it’s true those supposed to be closest to you can be your worst enemies. When you’re really young and impressionable especially is bad to be told hurtful things, because your mind is developing and you can believe those bad things easier. But I refused to let myself go down a path of hatefulness and want to always combat this kind of behavior however I can. I know countless others have had it worse than me, too, as far as bigotry is concerned. We all have an obligation to fight for what’s right though, and I know there’s plenty of positivity and kindness always to challenge stupid, narrow-minded views!
Can you link us? :)
EDIT: Found the quiz. I got 24/25. I presume the fact that we have to type in the full titles has something to do with it. That's a weakness on their side.
Either it has something to do with the typing, or they made a mistake. Either way, I'm sure you and I both got all the answers right, @Mathis1, so I presume the typing does it. And then that's on them.
For those who want to take the quiz too:

Definitely on them. I typed them in as exactly how they should be. So I reckon we both right. They were easy enough if you know your Bond!
Radio behind the Times, as Alan Partridge would say. :)
They're the ones who are moribund! ;)
You are the man with the Caps Lock on.
There are many people in the shadows.
Are you, Hank Marvin or Cliff Richard?
And quit the cryptic posting style.
You've made 9 posts thus far @Marmiteman , and not one of them Bond related.
That suggests a troll, to us.
Looked on his profile, and I think you're right, @Benny.
Oh, boy better post your sentiments on Reddit, maybe that site fits you more, but please, not here.
Pretty sad you’ve got this amount of time on your hands. You’ll be banned shortly and forgotten within seconds. Another failure…
