Story notes isn't such a shock given they're putting money into a show in production. There will be strings attached to the sort of sums they're supposed to have invested, and they are investing in a much bigger potential audience than BBC.
I'm more critical of the way the extra money were spent. Comparing the latest season to "Flux" and "Power of the Doctor", the earlier effects were good enough for my eyeballs. If we could have had a 12 episode season with that level of visuals, I'd've taken that option. Maybe the season arc wouldn't have been so short of breath, either.
I have to agree - the show was pretty gorgeous during the Chibnall era, despite the reportedly smaller budget.
Pulling off space epics with a bit of bubblewrap, that's a Who tradition 😄
Edit: "a load of painted cargo pallets and a bit of bubblewrap". Let's be fair.
