In retrospect, it's clear that the BBC were determined to cancel it at the earliest opportunity but JNT knew that was harder if it had a vocal global fan base AND generated revenue for BBC Enterprises... Which ultimately topped up income from the License Fee.

I was listening to the new fan-made commentaries for REMEMBRANCE earlier this week. Cartmel's plan to use new writers didn't always deliver - and they were sometimes scuppered by variable BBC production standards - but there was certainly a sense of renaisance.
