Well I'm not debating the quality of the material, not much of a fan myself but the difference in general production value from the BBC to Netflix is kind of standard. And that obviously costs more. The costumes/prosthetics, the locations, the standard of guest cast etc.

It's not as though they're making it now during the crisis, this is just a report of on one show (out of hundreds) they are currently buying/producing etc. It's really one drop in a large ocean.
