In Australia, Rupert Murdoch's pay TV network bought a load of popular
BBC shows that were traditionally shown on government free-to-air
channels.
BUT DOCTOR WHO WAS NOT ONE OF THESE.

No, you said he was bankrupt. Being "bankrupt" is very different to being
"morally bankrupt".
So even though you won't admit to it, you were wrong when you said he was
bankrupt. Now you've changed it to morally bankrupt. Do you know why you
think he's morally bankrupt?

Nicely explained. No wait, you explained nothing.
Rupert Murdoch owns the Sun newspaper. So what? Are you saying Murdoch is
morally bankrupt because his paper raised �7 million for the "Help for
Heroes" charity? Is he morally bankrupt because the Sun runs a "Free Books
for Schools" promotion and campaign? Are you saying he's morally bankrupt
because Sun reporters won "Reporter of the Year" in 2001, 2004, 2005 and
2008?
In short - how did you work out that Murdoch "morally bankrupt" because of
the Sun?

Anyway pay TV in Australia has low market share compared to other affluent

Wrong. Murdoch didn't tap anyone's phones. He argued that since he ran a
global business of 53,000 employees and that the News of the World was "just
1%" of this, he was not ultimately responsible for what went on at the
tabloid. He added that he and the other top executives had been completely
unaware of the hacking.
Try again.

Whatever, it seems to be more the kind of things religious nutters would
prefer doing. Just a few days ago a couple of Russian brothers set off a

Whatever, it seems to be more the kind of things religious nutters would
prefer doing. Just a few days ago a couple of Russian brothers set off a
bomb at the Boston marathon. The older brother described himself as a "very
religious" non-drinker and non-smoker.

in either The Mind Robber or Masque of Mandragora.
And even if he did, it still isn't relevant to the discussion, since
Dr Johnson wasn't an atheist. (Yes, yes, we all know how he famously
refuted a specific point of Bishop Berkeley's theology, but that's not
enough to make him an atheist by modern standards!)

And pay TV in Australia is expensive. Why pay Murdoch and Telstra to watch
ads interspersed with the occasional TV show or movie when you can get a
Telstra internet account (or better yet, a cheaper rival) and download
ad-free versions of the shows/movies in much higher quality, and watch them
when you want.

As usual, you've got things completely mixed up. In the Mind Robber, the
Doctor said that if the Master of Fiction's plans went through then "Mankind
would be like a string of sausages, all the same." Which is quite different
to what you said. And has nothing to do with atheists.
