Dr Who Dying a Slow, Painful (Woke) Death

- As a kid, I loved Doctor Who, the British science fiction TV series broadcast by the BBC. As a bit of a nerd myself, Doctor Who felt a bit like a haven for the nerdy created by science geeks with authentic quirks and creativity. It was both funny at times, as well as a little bit scary, but ultimately, it was entertaining. The original writers’ genuine weirdness, wit, and sci-fi creativity have in many people’s opinion, been replaced by hollow gloss, focus-group keywords, forced inclusiveness and political correctness, which come off as disingenuous, reducing once rich characters to meagre stereotypes distracting from what could be, and should be, compelling storytelling.
The Doctors I most remember were Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, and Sylvester McCoy, probably just because they were around when I was growing up. I also have some memory of the earlier Doctors, I guess because they probably showed a lot of reruns on TV.
Doctor Who took a bit of a hiatus in the early 1990s, but there was a Doctor Who television movie in 1996, which I never watched, I think I was too busy with high school.
But then in 2005, there was a revival of sorts with four more doctors taking on the role. I only ever watched a couple of episodes - I guess I had grown out of it a bit - but my friends and colleagues who were keen Whovians, generally liked this era of Doctor Who. I believe these four Doctors were typically highly regarded among fans of the show.
But of course, all good things must come to an end. In 2017, the BBC noticed something a little bit unusual about the casting of these Doctors over the last 36 seasons or so, and I think you can guess what… They were all men! This clear favouritism and inequity couldn’t be allowed to go on any longer! The BBC correctly pointed out, “Ladies can be Doctors too”, don’t you know?
So this brings us to our thirteenth Doctor, Jodie Whittaker, who starred in three seasons and a few specials between 2018 and 2022. From what I’ve heard, she’s a fine actor, but there was obviously some backlash casting a female Doctor Who.
According to the ratings database, IMDb, of the 13 series since the 2005 revival, the three lowest ranked seasons were the three Jodie Whittaker seasons.
It was towards the end of Jodie Whittaker’s stint as the Doctor that the BBC signed a deal with Disney meaning all new seasons of the show will stream exclusively on Disney+ outside the UK and Ireland ending the 50-year partnership between the BBC and the public broadcaster in Australia, the ABC. This means Whovians outside of the UK would have to fork out a subscription fee to watch the show from 2023 onwards.
The tenth Doctor, David Tennant, reprised the role and became the fourteenth Doctor in 2023 starring in three specials to celebrate the program’s 60th anniversary with disability, sexuality, and gender all covered.
The character of Davros, a major enemy of the Doctor, used to be wheelchair bound in the original series, albeit, a very futuristic looking wheelchair, but in the most recent incarnation, he is able-bodied. But why? Executive producer Russell T. Davies, who describes himself as “absolutely happily left wing”, said it was to avoid contributing to harmful tropes of disabled villains in media.
But this year being the year of super-diversity and uber-inclusion. the pièce de résistance, as I kind of hinted at the start, is the next incarnation of the Doctor who turns out to be a different ethnicity, and perhaps, a different sexuality, with Rwandan-Scottish queer actor (his words, not mine), Ncuti Gatwa, taking on the role of the fifteenth Doctor. Look, I’m sure he’s a good actor, but is this what Doctor Who fans want, or is this what Disney and the BBC want? I don’t know. The series contains a villain by the name of Maestro played by real-life American drag queen Jinkx Monsoon, who has been described by showrunner Russell T. Davies as “the Doctor’s most powerful enemy yet.” I know, it sounds like I’m making all this up, but I’m not.
Look, I think there’s only one of two ways this can go. Either I’m completely wrong, and actually hardcore fans, as well as new fans of the show, love the new super-diversity and uber-inclusion path that the Doctor is taking, or, this season sounds the death knell for Doctor Who as we know it. My feeling is that the once-loved Doctor has been ruined by the BBC’s self-righteous pandering and incessant moralising. Gone are the days where we could enjoy Doctor Who as an innocent adventure series. Now they desperately try to please everyone and avoid offence at all cost. Its preachy woke agenda is just resulting in losing viewers and credibility in the process. Unless something drastically changes, Doctor Who is destined for the same fate as other Disneyfied projects - forgotten and axed. Rest in peace Doctor Who. You were once great, but the BBC has utterly destroyed you.

Where the Daleks failed, the BBC succeeded
With Disney's help
EXTERRRRMINNNAAATE!
Oh so true.
The Daleks couldn’t kill DrWho. But the BBC did.
@@BadDriversOz ... the BBC!
More like DISNEY kills everything.
You might say the BBC has..... Exterminated the series.
All that's left is for them to defund the TARDIS because... police.
Let's say that the BBC loaded the gun and pointed it at the head, but it was Disney who pulled the trigger. The BBC has no say at all in what happens to Doctor Who following it's sale to the house of mouse.
You could say they... deleted its relevance.
Wherever dead-by-woke franchises go after expiring, they're in good and abundant company by now.
Won't be long b4 they remake Jane Austin...oh, they did.
The Davros wheelchair thing is unbelievably tonedeaf. Not only are disabled people losing representation, saying that he can't be in a wheelchair because that indicates all wheelchair users are evil basically means that now they're saying that all able bodied people are evil. Can't have it one way if it's not the other way too.
He needs to take a long look inside if he sees Davros and feels it implies all disabled people are evil.
He's the one who's a sick fcuk!!!
I'm a wheelchair user and I love the old Davros, and would appreciate if Davies just treated disabled people as everyone else. I don't care if Davros is evil and in a support system, just as able bodied people don't care they can be represented as evil either. if he thinks he's making things better, he's not, he's just screwing up a great character.
@@spacecadetmcgee7349 Exactly. I wonder if anyone ever called him out on this BS and whether he responded.
It might help if you realise that it's a very early incarnation of Davros, before he got the chair.
Virtue signaling at its peak.
I'm a woman and grew up watching Doctor Who. He's always been a white, straight man, with a Grand daughter. I prefer him that way. If they want to check boxes, create new characters, not mess with what works.
I agree but go 1 further and say go make your own bloody show but they wont do that because 1 they know no-one will watch it and 2 that's not the agenda. The agenda is to destroy anything wholesome and what we at our age consider normal and moral. Makes me sick to be totally honest, I cannot stand this garbage and will never accept it.
100% agree
@@Paul_1971 I feel the same about Bond. He's good as is and doesn't need fixing.
The cold,dead hand of Disney
@@agentsmithmememe The crippled hand of retarded idiocy, more likely...
Pandering to 3% of the viewers didn't work. Who could have known?
Tom Baker was the best doctor
I miss him and K9
Abso-fcuking-lutely. !!!!
Jelly babies anyone? 😊
@@SpectreOZ you can still buy jelly babies, even in the USA they sell them
@@charlieb308 Never stopped 🤣
I genuinely cannot stand looking at that new orange haired character
Makes my skin crawl
Loved it.
@@neilyb4590was supposed to
REPULSIVE AIN'T ...THEM.
It's a Pantomime Dame FFS, about as scary as a cushion. Everytime it came on screen I was tempted to shout at the telly "He's behind you.." , "Oh yes he is ...."
The BBC killed Doctor Who with the last Capaldi story.
Whittaker was never the Doctor.
I thought Capaldi was the best Dr with the worst scripts ( until that point.)
Couldn’t agree more with both of you!
Capaldi's last series was dross, yet you give it a pass, because: mediocre white man.
The Doctor died with the last Sylvester McCoy episode. It should have been left to rest in peace.
Ncuti is a good doctor IMO.
Davros was not sat in a wheelchair. He was sat in the bottom half his creation, a Dalek. Get it now Russell?
Not only that. It was a life support machine. Like you said it wasn't a wheelchair!
True. In "Genesis of the Daleks" he says that he would not survive if his life support system was shut down.
So what you're saying is Davros is NOT a man in a wheelchair like Stephen Hawking was a man in a wheelchair because on TV we call the wheelchair something sci-fi?
Did IQs drop sharply, etc etc...?
@@granttlcuk Was Stephen Hawkings Wheelchair keeping him alive or not? I think you need to check you're IQ. DUH!!!!
Everything WOKE turns to SHIT
Everything Woke is 💩. FIFY.
As well as it should.
💩 is already 💩
And since our country is Woke…
Sure. The Star Trek franchise has been woke since the '60s, and it'll be dying any day now. Grow up.
Disney have a great tradition of taking long running fantasy series and "reenginering" for modern audiences. The fail to realise is that modern audiences are minuscule in number but extremely loud
Yeah these spastics can’t seem to understand that the protesting, forever whining, vegan-trans idiots don’t watch shows like Doctor Who, and never will. Stop trying to appease them. The Bud Light debacle proved that. The show would have far higher ratings if they came out and said ‘we don’t bow down to this woke shit, we’re not changing a thing’.
Disney doesn't have creative control over Doctor Who. They didn't touch the show and no, Doctor Who having a musical once in a while doesn't count as proof.
When you follow trends, you die with them, Russell...
LOL, the first man to depict rimming on TV "following" trends!
You clearly have no clue who he IS.
Whoever’s at the top are like vampires. Just demoralising, dividing and draining everyone
Evil cannot create, it only corrupts.
That's why we have to be strong and fight back .
That's the intent
And you "fans" who refuse to let it go are like parasites.
Doctor WHO has 'transitioned' into Doctor POO.
The woke brigade are so unoriginal, that they have to attack and destroy established institutions/traditionalism rather than just creating their own new, original characters. They are idealogical grifters. (P.S, Tom Baker was my favourite)
Try Doctor WTF, it's much closer to the truth ...
"Attack and destroy established institutions/traditionalism..."
Like what?
You are correct but the only traditions or institutions they destroy are those of the white male. We're dangerous after all and must be reprogrammed to see ourselves as inferior.
PS: during Tom Bakers era they were doing what you would call "woke" episodes, including ones that covered social equality and feminism. So you know...
@@zoeherriot Yes, and look how that's turned out.
Even my Mom, who is from New Zealand and loved watching Dr. Who as a little girl, is absolutely disgusted what Dr. Who has become!!! She grew you in the 60s and 70s when a time during Dr. Who's golden years and when they first introduced Jodie Whittaker, she was disgusted and stopped supporting the show. Now the presidents and producers wonder why their show is tanking like the Titanic and cant be saved!!! I stopped watching Dr. Who years ago and now you have to buy Disney+ to watch the new episodes, which is not going to happen. The Simpsons, MCU, Star Wars and now Dr. Who have finally come to a woke end and they did it to themselves so they could appease people theyve never met!!!
👏
I was about 10 years old when the very 1st episode aired and the whole family loved it! I remained a die-hard fan until Jodie Whittaker arrived. I tried to have an open mind and kept hoping that the writing would improve but instead it just got worse. I couldn't finish watching S11. The end.
@@Hochspitz Yeah same mate. I was willing to give a lady Dr a chance, but after 3 or 4 eps of woke bs and then she got on a bus with Rosa Parks I was like fuck this woke shit. I'm out. And now they've retconned it and completely exterminated the canon with the bs that was the timeless child they've completely fucked it. And now it's owned by Disney it's not gunna get any better. I won't be surprised if it's axed again soon unless Disney wanna keep throwing money at a wildly out of control retardis hurtling into the heart of a sun. 🤷♂😥😕
I think you should use more exclamation marks. You might not be making your points strongly enough!!!!!!!!!
It will always live on for me with Tom Baker as the Doctor.
Who would you like to see playing the Doctor today ? 🤔
@@user-xs1yx9tc9m AI version of Christopher Lee from the 70s ... with seriously good Hammer style Dr Who stories and effects ..
@@willboa5365 Actually, there's a few films that that I'd like to see with different actors playing the parts like this, so maybe technology can help. Or, how about a human 'look-alike' recreating a past doctor, such as Tom Baker ? I's like to see William Hartnell playing the Doctor in the style of 'Carry On Sergeant' !
To right!
100%
If the licence fee was scrapped the BBC would need to make programs people would watch.
As it stands they dont care if nobody watches, they get paid anyway.
And yet despite the low ratings, the crusaders responsible for all the woke characters and dialouge will no doubt be patting themselves on the back believing that they have achieved some monumental victory.
-When all they did was robbing their children of excellent and thought provoking entertainment content, which will leave them as cognitively and creatively stunted as their moronic parents.
Until its cancelleed and like locusts they move on to something else ...
@@willboa5365 locust is a good description.
The ratings were higher under Jodie than under Capaldi, yet you're patting yourself on the back for not understanding how numbers work. Ncuti's Chistmas Special was the third most watched programme that day - beating all of Capaldi's Christmas specials. Even after I've pointed this out to you, you still won't get it because of how lobotomising your dogma is.
Who could guess that what Dr Who needed was just more chest hair, pronouns, hot pants, glitter, gay Africans and Vaseline?
He is so stereotypically homosexual that it is ridiculous. He is supposed to be a time lord who has lived thousands of lives, contemplated the mysteries of the universe, traveled everywhere in all eras.... I can't imagine him dancing in a skirt.
Wait until the studded leather dildo daleks turn up. He will destroy them by inserting his vibrating sonic screwdriver into the rear charge port.
@@zarach9459 In one of his previous regenerations he was Liberace!🤣
Agree, I gave Jodie a chance, but bad scripts and being preached too , plus White man bad, made me not watch any more shows.
Bullcrap.
Capaldi had bad scripts that preached to you too.
Yes I agree with the white people bad every other race good and yes we were being preached to. Was excited for Jodi but hate being told I'm bad because I am white
Then you’d never of loved the classic Dr Who as there was a lot of getting preached to at the beginning.
@@sodorflubbs5000 the black and white version yes I watched the original don't remember white man evil as much as now.ummky
I loved Docter Who as a child & enjoyed it all the way into adult life . But this new woke form of it by Disney has completely killed The Doctor for me & what is worse it ’s so bad that it won’t be growing a new generation of viewers . BRING BACK THE OLD SCHOOL DOCTER .
A recent survey found that six out of seven dwarves aren't happy and one is grumpy with the way Disney's been heading.
Gallifrey 🎉🎉🎉
lol yeah, now it's gay & woke, instead of the way it used to be... gay & woke. YOU changed.
(Rascally) Laurence Fox would make a superb Dr Who . & can you imagine the mass wokechoke if he was cast !
Wheelchair people are inheritedly always depicted evil? I guess he forgotten about the iconic Prof X of the X-men.
They always conveniently forget about anything that runs counter to whatever narrative they try to push. That's how gaslighting with cultural marxists works.
And Ironside.
@@RaveyDavey and a lot of other characters that have/had a disability yet weren't depicted as evil in any way.
Batgirl/Oracle.
Professor X was not evil. Neither was Ironside.
Disney, BBC and Woke with bad story scripts killed Doctor Who
Absolutely.
So sick of having to watch "insert gay, black, female" where they have no GD business being in. Like repainting the Mona Lisa as a bearded trans "girl".
Im ageing myself here but my favorite Dr Who's were John Pertwee and Tom Baker. Davros🤣🤣🤣 always reminded me of Bob Hawke
Pertwee is my Doctor too.
@@razorback0z Cheers razorback...good times.
I can see it in the side profile.
@@buryitdeep Yep i think it was the nose.
This nose always knows the nose.
These people don't care. The goal is not to take over these shows with woke messaging, the goal is to destroy them and replace them with pure woke messaging. No entertainment required. Its called re-programming.
National socialist also pushed re-education programming. Its like the frog in the pot. They gradually turn up the filth wearing down your resistance.
Also, the only chance they have to make a quick buck is to take over and already popular IP with built in fanbase.
They know Anything completely new that they create is dead on arrival.
The one thing that they can't control is that people can simply turn it off, change the channel, or go back to old movies/TV shows.
@@Solitaire001 Or simply going outside and touching grass. Which I believe they actually demanded much of the audience to do.
Now they are upset that some fans actually took their advice.
Fell asleep after reading "these people". zzzzzzzzzzz
When are the British going to wake up and cancel the BBC tax?
Australians pay a disneytax now .. but we try to avoid it
*coughDon't pay itcough*
Tom Baker was the king. The 70’s and 80’s eras were a bit before my time but the best by far. 😊
Cheers for the video. 👍
I couldn't get past the silly scarf.
They didn't want the fans to stick around and actively told us to leave, so we did, and the viewership has nosedived as a result - go figure, tell your audience you don't want them and they will leave, who'd have thought!
No, that's actually fine. If you're gone, fantastic.
But we DO note that you're still hanging around message boards like this telling everyone you're gone, and why. So...are you actually gone OR hanging around like the proverbial bad smells?
Little did we know as young lads that the Dr. was teaching us many lessons. Invention....Adaptation.....Problem solving......Kindness.....Good clothes sense!!!😊😊😊
"Would you like a jelly baby?" Or is that offensive to say now.
I figure jelly babies are a-sexual and of different colours.. So should be safe.. For today..
Grooming seems to be okay nowadays.
So jelly babies should be fine.
@@seraphinberktold7087 Taking care of your appearance is popular, yes. Give it a go.
The Doctor was always an old, wise man with a young heart. He is an alien, too. This is the role. Dr Who is dead since Capaldi, who played an Ego. Whitaker was the grave-stone. And Gatwa is only a big bad joke of this.
The Daleks don't have to say "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!" before they open fire, anymore; now they say "EF-FEM-I-NATE! EF-FEM-I-NATE!" and The Doctor instantly loses his cojones. Oh, how the mighty have fallen...
They originally also said "AN NIE I LATE" and "EE RAD I CATE".
@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 Oh no, don't confuse him with facts. You'll put him off his gammon and chicken ovaries.

They've turned Dr Who into Jar Jar Binks.
Bro Jar Jar Binks is actually funny
YES. ABSOLUTELY. 🥴🥴🥴
Nope, Even Jar Jar was better than this
Don't insult Jar Jar.
Dr Who ended when Peter Davidson finished as the doctor, might I even say it ended with Tom Baker.
Agreed, Colin Baker was terrible. I stopped watching when he took over.
Tom Baker was impossible to follow.
Even as a child I knew the original Dr Who was finished when they cast Sylvester McCoy. He only did kids shows.
@@Britephartt I liked that McGann fellow.
@@dagoelius I seem to remember the Colin doctor shooting some baddies, and maybe even Davidson (cybermen ?) Never liked it that the Doctors didn't use weapons or use violence !
Cancel your tv licence, it's easily done, it's about the only way the corporation will sit up and take action against these woke warriors that have infested the BBC.
Again with this illusion that leftist wokism is ruining the BBC, which is very clearly and obviously and reportedly being run by ex-Tories and other right-wing figures, that platforms Farage like he's the second coming, and that acts 9 times out of 10 in state interests.
YES PLEASE CANCEL YOUR TV LICENSE PAYMENTS. It wasn't the Right who coined #DefundTheBBC
Eccleston was the best, it's a shame he quit.
Capaldi was the worst. He was the beginning of the end.
One of the ironic things - and a snarky comment by one of the DR Who revuers (in the Guardian (no surprises there)) was that "Dr Who was not made for CIS White Males"... well, it actually was. Look at the when and where it was made and the audience profile... well, they are all now going away - so - lets see how that works for you... As well - why does it MUST BE NOT THAT? So much for being inclusive...
These activist's ghettoised every franchise they infiltrated until it was just them left and noone cam stand them anyway
It wasn't made for 'cis' white males, when I watched it in the 60's/70's it was known as a KIDS show not a show for men, 'cis' white or otherwise.
And these are the same people saying it is all about inclusivity! 😅
They will find out that the majority will win out in the end. It is utterly disgusting that a public funded broadcaster in a democracy can display such contempt for the majority.
So DW should only ever be targeted at cis white men. Think about that for a moment.
it died with the start of the Jodie era.
Do you have any comprehension of how often Who has "died" according to people like you? The show that just celebrated it's 60th anniversary has been pronounced dead more times than the Doctor has had incarnations.
It died when Hartnell left.
It died when Troughton left
It died when Tom Baker left - there will never be another Dr as good as him
It died when Michael Grade moved it out of the Saturday spot.
It died when Michael Grade cancelled the show.
It died when Eccleston left.
It died when RTD brought in his "gay agenda".
It died when David Tennant left - - there will never be another Dr as good as him
It died when RTD left and Moffat took over
It died when Moffat left and Chibnall took over
It died when a WOMAN dared become the Doctor
It died when a BLACK WOMAN dared become the Doctor
It died when Timeless Child RUINED THE LORE FOREVER
It died when a Trans person was cast
It died when Tennant (father of a Transchild himself) and Tate appeared in a story defending Trans people
It died when Disney got involved
And now it's dying/dead because there's a Black Gay Doctor.
The Doctor doesn't die; they regenerate, as does the show. See you back here again in 20 years for the 80th. Maybe you'll be wiser then.

Davros wasn’t a wheelchair user. He’s a half Dalek! If Davros is a wheelchair user, then so are all the Daleks. Ffs just make a decent show. 😡
Well this seems like the end of an era. Disney stuffs everything. RIP Dr Who
I think this is on the BBC writers rather than Disney. The Witiker seasons were already heading this way and the way the writers talk they make no apology about alienating many of their viewers.
@@jor9423 If the viewers are throwing tantrums because a trans character pops up, nothing of value is lost.
@@Cailus3542 I would agree with you it were just that. The problem is that a show that has become so on-the-nose and precise in voicing it’s political position shouldn’t be claiming to be “for everyone”. Nor should it be acting like political messaging is the main point of the show when for decades it was never the point.
I've been hearing "It's the end of an era" since 2005. When will this actually arrive, please?
The moment something goes woke its off the list for me and my family... dr who was removed immediately upon the arrival of a female dr...
I gave it a try and could not muster it past 2 episodes. Bad acting and even worse scripts. Then there were all the wokerization of all the characters. Sickening and unwatchable. She could have worked with better actoress and scritps minus the woke crap... same goes for Dr Queer who is NOT THE REAL DOCTOR!
It started before Jodie. Some of Capaldi's seasons were pretty Woke. The character Bill Pots was the last straw to me, terrible just terrible.
@@mw56101nah; it wasn't in your face. It worked in the storyline's given. I'm all for representation but the storyline's are trying to be worked around KPI' and DEI's. That's where it's gone wrong.
I had no issue with a female doctor , it was the writing, and the mutilating of the lore that Chibnall jammed in.
@@mw56101 I was 14 when Dr Who hit the airwaves, never missed an episode, watched the reruns with my own children. That was until Season 10 with Capaldi when they started revising history. Gave it three episodes before I turned off.

To be fair it's been diminishing steadily for over a decade. It must be very difficult to come up with great stories over and over. This is just the final straw. RIP Dr Who reboot.
The stories are actually better now than they used to be, it's that in the past they'd bring back old baddies to distract you, now they can't rely on that gimmick.
There is absolute truth and it will offend people. It will separate people and divide households.
Hilariously, the people complaining and making a stink are the ones droning about "woke". Ironic, eh?
So do we need "reimagine" Darth Vader as well? He is also disabled without his support suit and helmet.
Even worse,he's pretending not to be disabled 🙂
“No Luke, I am your Mother”
Disney......the last nail in the coffin !
Disney is a cancer.
I'm not sure who thinks that Jodie Whittaker is a good actor.
I first came across her in the brilliant British crime series Broadchurch, with the lead actors being David Tennant (coincidently) and Olivia Coleman. There were many other fine actors in the series. But, although Jodie Whittaker had major role in the series, she had all the appeal of a wet sock. As an actress she is just plain bland.
She would be best at playing housewives.
If a woman played the part, someone more 'Miss Marple' like.
I kinda roll my eyes when fans say she would have been a good doctor if the writing was better...no she couldn't have. She's not charismatic enough.
Disney paid 100 million pounds for Doctor Who, they must be so happy.
But they are. They (for reasons I can ONLY conclude are for their inexorable push towards ethnic cleansing of straight white men) WANT this. I don't know if they (Disney) believe they must have the bestest ESG score in the world so as to keep the BlackRock investors happy, but this is what they've been aspiring to for a while now.
Dr Who is a HUGE worldwide export, and they will be rubbing their hands in glee that they have the perfect vessel to push their message of ultimate anysexual beige humans.
DISNEY wanted this type stuff, WE in the U S ALREADY knew about Disney, now the U K is seeing what we already been seeing, DISNEY caters to kids, makes you wonder out loud 😟🤔
Are they trying to Re Gen kids 🤫
The shows producer is Russell T. Davies, the T stands for toxic!
So true
I thought it stood for "Teapot."
Davros didn't just have a wheelchair. His chair was the basis for how the daleks were destined to look as well. There's no problem with having women in roles that used to solely played by men, eg Buffy as well as Dr Van Helsing, Supergirl as well as Superman. But in the case of Jodie Whitaker, it was as if they'd deliberately done it to alienate their traditional viewers. She comes across as a killjoy who's there to make sure no one gets any big ideas or has any fun.
Blame it on Disney's involvement on the project. Jodie had too many companions as well. And unfortunately she made the character out to be like a clown. You could not take her seriously
A lot of companions was NOT the problem. It was her absolute hatred of DW and The Doctor, plus her buddy, Chris Chibnall's terrible writing because he hates DW as well, and their absolute intention of killing Doctor Who.
The saying is .. serios drama works best with a clown . I would cry over 7 times each jodie wittakker episode .. . The frog on a chair .. the return of the tardis ..
Blame it on Disney....lol.
You folks forgot who Russell T Davies is, didn't you? The man who put gay men rimming on TV for the first time? Who introduced the "gay agenda" to Chris Eccleston'es era as the Doctor?
"He'll Save The Show!" ahahahaha morons.
I wish I could sue these people for the cultural vandalism on display.
I do too. It's shameful.
Doctor Who died with Capaldi's ridiculous series.
Davros has complained to the BBC about taking away his wheelchair
My roommate and I (19 and 20) in the US, would come home from work every afternoon and watch Tom Baker reruns on PBS. Good times. A shame they are gone, never to be seen again.
Sadly, I have to agree. It's been ruined. Also, lets not forget the Chibnall 'Timeless Child' debacle - which announced to the world that the Doctor wasn't even a 'Timelord'.
Negating 60 years of Dr Who canon in one fell swoop. We are also being told that Dr Who is lo longer a 'Science Fiction' show. It's genre is now 'Fantasy'.
I'm on the side of the Daleks now, and I think they should just get him/her.
Woke destroys everything it touches, because it's designed to destroy everything it touches. It's not a bug, it's a feature.
Yes, when you reject all prior standards yet provide no vetted substitute, that is nihilism, pure and simple.
Another excellent commentary, albeit a bit of a shift from your usual fare. Your comments about the BBC are very relevant, unfortunately they probably also apply to our ABC to a slightly lesser degree. It's a little different but it's interesting to note that they were both very early adopters of the TNI. In fact the BBC is where it began as far as I'm aware.
This new Series 1 may lay the groundwork for the show's cancelation... but by shooting Series 1 & 2 back-to-back, a 2nd Series is pretty much guaranteed at this point. It's already been pretty much in the can (if it's not already there).
And that's kind of the problem. Series 2 was written and produced without any feedback on Series 1. That means any course correction likely won't happen until Series 3. IMHO, if the viewers keep tuning out through Series 2... the chances of Disney bailing on any addition series goes up... as does the chances that the series will be cancelled.
And RTD claims he's already working on material for Series 3... so that might complicate any need for a course correction too.
Baker and Pertwee were awesome!
Baker is the best...but I love Pertwee even more. I liked the vibe he was throwing down.
All the BBC had to do was let the 12th Doctor die (as Timelords are supposed to) and have him pass the Tardis onto his grand daughter Susan. Susan opens the Tardis heart when he dies, The Dr’s energy merges with the Tardis, Susan regenerates into Jodie and Susan continues on. The Dr can even pop up as a hologram inside the Tardis to help Susan.
so the Doctor has gone the way of Indiana Jones and Star Wars....
Indeed. And Star Trek as well.
Terry Nation would turn in his grave..
He was a storyteller. He'd love it.
Television as a whole, is not worth watching.
I got rid of mine!
The Doctor should never have been female, or race changed. By the way she is an actress, not an actor.
So the Master should never have been female too, I assume?
@@Cailus3542 I agree
The Mistress.@@Cailus3542
Incorrect on both counts. "Actress" is only used when the woman's physiology is part of the conversation, for instance"Best Actress" is an award reserved for women. However "Actor" can be used for both men and women without issue.
@@granttlcuk No actor is male, actress is female. Please stop trying to change language, even though the lovies think they can.
“Aargh Pat Troughton does not have white hair, it’s ruined.” My first memory of Dr who🙁
I am so impresed at how much organisations are prepared to spend employing people that actively dislike a property to undermine it and robbing temselves of future income.
Tom Baker is my favourite Dr, ever in billions of ways and he will always be my favourite Dr.
100%
Nothing wrong with that at all. I grew up watching Baker/Davison/Baker/McCoy etc.
But my favourite is Matt Smith.
We just need to gender swap a classic female character and see how they like it
Race swap an established black character and see what happens?
Here's why that's a smooth-brained comment:
You have a split of 97% versus 3%. The 3% complain and ask for 5%. But the 97% turn around and say god how about we make them 2% and see how THEY like it?!? (percentages made up to highlight the problem, not representative of actual porportions)
Woman, Minorities, etc are trying to bring things back to balance. Comments like this ignore that inequality already exists, and that white males have been the de-facto representation for so long now you only notice it when others question it..
The whole logic of changing Davros from what he was is mental.
Even though many objected to Jodi's seasons, I think her shows are still more watchable than the stuff they're creating now. Lets look at what just happened to Bud Light when they decided to cater to a group that makes up less than 1% of the population.
I disagree. Series 14 is better so far and here we go, thinking that a person of r company are catering to a group just because they had a team's person's face on beer cans. How is that pandering or catering to a group?
as the saying goes,,,...'everything that goes 'W', goes to sh*t'.
Trump 2024.
Rowan Atkinson was by far the best ever Dr Who.
A must watch video on TH-cam is ....
" Rowan Atkinson is Doctor Who | Comic Relief "
It's as funny as hell and sums up the Dr in one episode.
Thanks, I'll check it out.
@@DailyInsightAU Cheers mate , you wont be disappointed 👍
I feel some pity for the Master in those sewers! 😅
@@DailyInsightAUTalking of comedy Jon Culshaw of Dead Ringers played a good Doctor loved it..
Pakistani dalek is pretty funny as well 🤣
Disney is destroying all great franchises this last years...
After the 13th Doctor Jodie Whittake rewrite his past killing him I could not believe Catherine Tate and David Tennant came back to help destroy any remaining part of him and drive the nails into his coffin to make sure he could never be revived for his old fans.
This means to me Peter Capaldi the 12th Doctor is the last Doctor for me
Change everything and the series will bomb. Woke crap will destroy everything. Well done BBC.
If they had to go for a black guy, Richard Ayoade would have been good. He even dresses like a Dr Who. Injecting a bit of humour would have made it a bit fresher, too...
Yes. Gatwa is far too young. Matt Smith was also too young but they dressed him older and it worked.
I think a 'James Earl Jones' type.
Big Driss wasn't touching it
I think one reason for going off into identity politics is that the showrunners have run out of ideas and are doing anything they can just to garner attention. I hardly even want to give them that attention by discussing it anymore. Historically, Doctor Who has gone through slumps. Not that many people fondly remember the Colin Baker period. IMO, the show needs to go back into mothballs. It can wait for another reboot in the future. At present, it's like a band that hasn't made a good album in a while doing stunts for publicity.
I can't understand why the BBC would trash one of their best loved characters.The money that they made off merchandise alone would be reason enough to take the show off a few months to hire a new Doctor Who and writing staff and get rid of all the woke nonsense.
I stopped watching it yrs ago after a line in an episode stating "I can tell his in HQ because of his hair" I was like "wtf was that about" turns off.
Which episode was that?
"I can tell his in HQ because of his hair" I don't even know what that means.
They weren't just Men. They were strait white men
even Colin Baker? He seemed kind of flaming.
The horror!
Once an iconic institution, the woke influences within bbc have managed to make a complete sham of this once great series
8:45 - "Look, I'm sure he's a good actor"
That aged well...
At 10:45 you stated "try to please everyone", but I think you are incorrect due to the fact they are very consciously targeting a specific class of people who believe feelings = reality and this is definitely (thank goodness) not everyone. This is also evident by the actors who state " go and touch grass" or "this is not for you" if you don't go along with the dysphoric derangement in society.
Dr Who is so dead that comment videos like this won't be getting much more custom. This latest one {Doctor} has moved me to the who cares camp. No pun intended.

God, if only. But no this bizarre cottage industry will survive, more's the pity, because the Right-wing dark money funding it isn't going away.
@@granttlcuk So you like Dr Gay?
@@jackturpin7828Congratulations, Jack. That may have been most limp-wristed response ever. Was it even worth the finger movements.
@@granttlcuk So, that's a yes.
@@jackturpin7828 That's a "I'm not answering your primary school level questions."
If you want to see how far its sunk, watch the brilliantly tight scripted and imaginative episode 'Blink: from the Tennant era where the Dr is barely in the episode, to this current season. The change is more than dramatic
Oh it's not dying man, it's dead.
It was dead the second Disney got hold of it.
Disney is just a giant meet grinder for traditionally loved stories, movies and T.V shows.
If they strip us of our sense of cultural identity, it is easier to control us.
Based on the idea that every bad movie spoils the memory of a good movie in it's franchise, They erase these movie franchises from our list of happy memories.
It's like bombarding matter with antimatter until it no longer exists.
Makes up your minds!!! It was dead when Moffat took over. Dead when Capaldi arrived. Dead when Chibnall took over. Dead when the Doctor turned female,. Dead now the Doctor's Black. Dead now that it's Disney financed.....jesus h, when do you folks go and get yourselves lives away from all the proclamation of death and doom?
The problem with Jodie wasn’t her gender, it was her accent. The US audience couldn’t understand her.
Maybe they needed to watch more stuff with English people in. Did they have this difficulty with Eccleston, or with Jane Leeves' Manchester accent in "Frasier"? We didn't moan when we saw The Wire season 1 with its thick African American Baltimore accents. Subtitles exist for all of these.
Why should the North not be represented? We see and hear lots of different accents from USA most of us don’t speak posh we need diffent accents other than southerners all the time…on TV not less!! ….Glad when we got Eccleston representing the North!!
DIDN'T we all?
Baker was the BEST Doctor! 'Have a jelly baby, they really are rather good!'
100%
The Doctor keeps regenerating! It's some fans that seem stuck in an early time.
Hey while we're at it let's put Greta Thumberg in as the new Dr !
Don't put ideas in their head.
@@garyhendrie4001 Too late!
Good video. You missed the worst thing about David Tennant's return - the anti-male sexism, where the 'female' characters talk down to him and tell him he's stupid because he's male!
I love how many craws that has stuck in.
"Actor". Actually, she's an actress.
Dr Who died with Capaldi. All we have now is Dr Poo-jabber
