Finally took a look at the recent viewing figures.
The last season has the worst viewing figures for any season, ever.
(Not to mention the whole nonsense of renumbering it as Season 1 again).
The Christmas special 2024 has the 2nd worst figures for a Christmas (or New Year) special.
Series 15 (or Season 2) is due in 2025, still 8 episodes btw .. if anyone still cares
If it were not for Disney paying towards it now, its likely it would be looking at cancellation (again).
* For anyone wondering, No, we (i.e. myself, wife & mum) no longer watch it, the 2023 specials were the final straw for us.
