Dr: Who: What does the initial tiny per-episode budget translate to in current purchasing power? edit
Dr. Who: The Vault gave the per-episode budget the show started with (2340 pounds? Can't spot it flipping back through the pages, and I don't see a proper index) but didn't mention what that would be in 2014 equivalent US dollars or Euros. Can you supply that tidbit? /Gary Dennis — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gsd172 (talk • contribs) 22:28, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- Just keep in mind that a huge problem with a simple monetary conversion with inflation will be that they had the use of the BBC's studios and resources. Any amount like £2340 will be for expenditures above that baseline support. You wouldn't be able to do the same independently with the same amount. μηδείς (talk) 22:57, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- Adjusted for inflation only, ₤2,340 in 1963 would be about ₤41,523 today (USD$68,450 or €50,516). --Canley (talk) 05:58, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
