Put the pitchforks down. Douse the torches and put the mobile gallows back in the shed. Netflix is not dropping Doctor Who!

As we reported a few days ago, there was a strong chance of Doctor Who being dropped by the subscription streaming service, pending a renegotiation of the deal with BBC Worldwide. More recently, it seemed even more likely that a deal would not be reached, but now we can tell you that the parties have made an agreement! A Netflix spokesperson told Variety that the rumours were false, however as a small bench of shows are being dropped, it would seem more likely that the whole package was up for renegotiation.

To confirm, Netflix tweeted:
