Again, does it matter? It's even embedded above, it's not like you can't access it. Without foreign funding, the show might not exist, might not have the same number of episodes, might not have a well known actor (which like it or not increases the profile of the show), might not have the same budget for effects and so on.

Yes it does - it is British show first - it is also paid for my the licence fee payers, who have to cough up close to £170 a year for watching live television - the Disney money is for the licensing rights, Disney does not fund the production of Doctor Who

Would US shows give UK audiences their trailers and clips first, would they hell not - this is a case of TV politics, where British broadcasters play to the US crowd and ignore the British audience.

So yes, it does matter, because US networks don't give a toss about UK audiences, but UK shows always now seem to try and please US audiences.
