From what I understand of the OP I am not reading a Sun link.

If it is the budget for making the show there are far, far more expensive shows worth looking at in terms of money they could save and place elsewhere than a potential revival of LB.

The article implies that Netflix are shelling out to Matt and David directly to have the show on their platform:

A source said: “Netflix have set up phone meetings next week with David and Matt.

“The offer they are making is more than double the BBC could make. It’d be a package of well over a million each.

“David and Matt don’t need the cash but bosses at Netflix know they are a more viable option for the brand"

If the £3m was entirely production costs, why would the show cost twice the amount to make at Netflix compared to the BBC?
