Sky seem to have had the same attitude as the BBC:

It's probably right. I wonder who actually was bidding for them to force Amazon to pay so much? ITV and Sky seem to have had no interest at all due to the reason he/they were dropped in the first place. I assume it was Netflix who pulled out because of the cost which suggests there was a price at which they would have considered it.
