Nobody Watched Doctor Who. And They're Sad About It.

- The new season of Doctor Who is shaping up to be a ratings disaster, and Ncuti Gatwa is sad about it. Elsewhere, showrunner RTD sings the praises of Disney. Is Mickey's magic enough to conjure up some better ratings going forward... and a third series? Or has the TARDIS finally run out of gas after 60 years?

BBC: "This wasn't made for you! Go touch grass!"
Us: "Ok!" (leaves)
BBC: "Why didn't you watch, you racists?!"
PBS: Hold my beer!
Disney BBC all run by loonies.
"Watch it bigoooooots!!!!" **attachs clockwork orange eye clamps**
Don't forget Disney's involvement.
I just figured I wasn't good enough to watch it since I don't mince, sashay, prance or caper. So I really have no proper way to even approach the crap.
WTF, They told us not to watch. Make up their damn minds.
They're incapable of performing such a... "complex" task.
They have minds?
Yeah.
It feels like this is passed the 10th time I've seen this happen now LUL.
If they didn't have double standards, they'd have none at all.
We don't care about diversity, We just want a British actor playing a British role with good sci fi drama, comedy and adventure. We don't need to include every trans, gay, disabled character just for the sake of inclusion.
What makes me laugh is that none of the trans women they feature can act to save their lives.....which is odd for people who spend their entire lives pretending to be something they aren't....
@@theresearcher253 One of the most profound and insightful comments I've heard in a long time!
I'm not sure, if that's the approach you want to take. Diversity can be of value. Forced diversity, which is what control freaks are pushing, is not.
@@theresearcher253 I saw a clip of one playing piano, and he was a horrible actor. I didn't believe he was a woman for a second.
@@brandonnotsowise2640 Note at the end they say, 'Just for the sake of inclusion" which seems to be the same argument you're making about "forced diversity". It appears to me you both agree in principle in that regard.
Jack was actually a good character. Being gay was just a detail of his character not all his character consisted of.
Exactly, and while there was the running gag of him flirting with everyone regardless of gender or species, there was still more to him than that
Plus, John Barrowman was very well cast. It sounds like they cast Gatwa very quickly, without taking the time to screentest him and whatnot. And he didn't have that much experience. He'd been part of the ensemble on the Sex Education streaming series, but he's never starred in a proper tv show before.
Right. And Jack’s schtick was more that he’d have sex with anything that had a pulse more than like always pushing his identity as a gay/bi man
@@marychocolatefairy No experience needed when your a DEI hire who's only goal is activism, lecturing the public & pushing propaganda for your groups agenda.
Great casting for Dr Who but the scripts didn't do them service. I wish they would stop blaming people when it is really just their scripts that isn't up to par. If they just analyzed and broke down why it isn't good then it would be fine but they don't.
As a gay man, I can say, this was absolutely not made for me either! I certainly won't be watching. Nobody, gay or straight, asked for or wanted any of this trash. I f***ing HATE what they've done to the Dr. They ruined the character we ALL loved just the way he was. This was just so unnecessary and destructive.
Exactly. My gay friends hate it too, they went out walking when it was on and they both loved old who.
@@cyberleaderandy1 Gay person here. I find this shit unwatchable and I hate what they've done to The Doctor. Ncuti told us to go touch grass, so we did.
Living in California, I've worked with gay people all of my life, and I cannot recall once, EVER any of them wanting more gay people on shows. They always talked about character dialogue and script writing like we straight people do.
This diversity crap is something that I can't recall ever hearing someone advocate in person, which means that these actors and producers are totally out of touch with normal people, gay or straight.
Got to admit, you got me at "Dr. They"
@@blockmasterscott As a gay person, I can confirm I tend to avoid shows that focus heavily on romance in general because I tend to hate how shows where it's the primary focus handles it. Plot and/or action are more of my bread and butter.
They literally told people to touch grass and not watch it like wtf is wrong with these lunatics
They thought there was a wealthy modern audience who shared their views that would appear as soon as they got rid of the old problematic fans.
these people forget even zombie crave brains...and these peoples' content have zero of it.
Then they blamed the bad ratings on the nice weather in the UK. So I guess people did.
What's wrong with these people starts with everything, and goes on from there.
Theyre all massive Narcissists, hence the obsession with looks/skin colour etc. narcs will never admit they’re wrong and also can’t relate to regular human experiences/emotions which is why so much of modern media has unrepeatable characters. Because they don’t have the capacity to write about things they’ve never experienced.
Gaslighting (as seen here in blaming the fans) is a narcissist’s favourite trick.
My husband and I have said the same thing about the 80s for years now. The real privilege was actually being around to see when nobody gave a shit about your sexuality or your race.
Erm... so not in our lifetime then?
@@user-kz5ez7nd7ndid u just unironically say erm😂
If you turn a popular mainstream show into an LGBT show you cannot expect to keep your mainstream audience.
I thought they didn't want "bigots" watching. No sympathy for Ncuti, Davies or any of them. They reap what they sow
Unfortunately for them, the bigots are the majority of the global population.
It funny how they call science fiction fans bigots. Who are used to seeing different points of views and beliefs. People who don't look like them all the time. [funny how they keep trying to paint what is likely to be very open minded people as just bigots] While forcing everyone to accept and only see things from a single point of view, their own. Disney seems like the true close-minded bigot here. For they can't accept any viewpoint different from their own.
They keep forgetting the "money is money."
Don't forget Tennant. He was happy to say literally "fuck off" to people who are against the pronouns crowd.
@@Dante02d12 he was mad that ppl are saying to to T children which is something that doesn't exist
Didn't they say the show is not for "straight white men" in a country dominated by "straight white men"?
Centred around a character PLAYED by "straight white men" for 55 of its 61 - year existence.
Although I'm really not sure how "straight" David Tennant is anymore.
@@steventhomas2856David Tennant probably needs to peddle the propaganda in order to not get blacklisted like Eccleston got
I know!!!! ITs hysterical. The gay LGBT etc group is probably less than 2% and the ethnic population something like 8% in the UK but the BBC would have you believe its much larger as this is what they want. But in the real world no. And a straight person is not going to watch a gay show / gay lead etc. They just wont as they cant relate or they find it distasteful or simply because they are straight they have zero interest.
@@steventhomas2856 Tennant is married with a daughter I believe. But he has become the worst kind of sell out of an actor. He started out playing roles and putting his all into it and keeping quiet on issues as he built his name. Now all he does is virtue signal and pushes the LGBT stuff etc. Part of me feels a little sorry for him. He is trapped in world where if he does not do this, he will be cancelled or pushed out, passed over for work in favour of someone who will say these things. But he has also proved he has no principles and wont stand up against woke crap as well. I have lost all respect for him and wont watch him in anything again....
Britain is only 47% white british. Thanks Sunak we love it, i feel so culturally enriched
This is the Charlie's Angels reboot playbook, all over again. The "this wasn't made for men!" then it bombs and they go "why didn't men watch this?!" sad stuff.
It started before that. The first to use this tactic was Ghostbusters 2016. Every woke trash since has followed that same tactic. It's like marketing firms are doing it mistakenly thinking controversy sells not realizing that doesn't work when people realize that's your goal.
They said that this was not made for general audiences, and general audiences didn't watch. They are still looking for this mystical, nonexistent "Modern Audience."
Anytime anything says it's for "a modern audience" that's the warning that it's going to be woke trash & tells me to divest any support or attention from it immediately.
It went from "Doctor Who" to "Doctor, Who?"
🏆
More like Doctor Who Cares at this point.

Perfect 👍
Dr. they/ them
Someone once infamously said "if you don't like my politics, don't buy my book"
It was stupid of her to chase away her customers, but it was in fact the best advice she has ever given to anybody. It’s her greatest contribution to human culture imo.
And history repeats itself again. They never learn.
Yeah and she was begging people to support her work afterwards. XD
And she was right when she completed : " Problem Solved" .....
@@rubix4195 She was a bit bipolar by first claiming how the industry is doing better than ever, to then move over to „it’s tough right now, need help“ just a short while after.
Ncuti Gatwa: "You don't like it don't watch"
Russell T Davis: "We're bring Dr Who to a new Audience"
One Day Later...
BBC & Disney: "Why did our viewership drop 50%"
Once you touch grass, it enlightens you to not watch new Doctor Who. These writers accidentally gave us good advice for once.
They told us to touch grass and that 3-5 people were just waiting to replace us…. Turns out the grass was more entertaining and the 3-5 people only exist in fantasy land
Maybe the 3-5 people joined you too because the grass is entertaining.
Nah, they watched 2 minutes and went outside.
"Sorry straight white men, Dr. Who was never made for you."
-Metro
Sorry Metro, you told me not to watch it, so you have shot yourself in the foot with your statement 😆
Then they try an make the excuse claiming "we forgot to add "only" or "just" in there"
Riiiiiiight, sure they did.
Yeah, the Metro doesn't make any sense. Dr. Who has been around since the 60's. If it wasn't for straight white men at that time then who on Earth was it for?
A lot of views there, would be sad if those decided to tune out...
@@mblack713- Ironically Doctor Who was for everyone back then. It’s only in our modern times when they decided that straight white males in particular are not welcome?
According to one of Doomcock's sources it only had 52,000 views on Disney Plus with a 75%+ drop out rate.
I'm subsribed to Doomcock and I'm not seeing any of his videos in my suggestions. There is some fuckery afoot.
@@BryceShamwow He said that people were being unsubscribed by TH-cam.
At this point they're all like "We told them to leave and they listened to us. What a bunch of douchebags!"
They told us to go touch grass and we did.
I didn't
I did. My lawn now looks lovely after I tended to it.
@@dragondude9637 feels better than watching doctor who shite
I touch grass sexually.
Grass is nice
They don’t make shows for viewers outside their own small circle of applauding seals.
Ironically, this was parodied in Bettlejuice
I'm actually looking forward to the new Beetlejuice movie. I am cautiously optimistic.
Exactly. David and gatwa admit it and davies even said the ru paul villain he cast was from his own social circle. Its hillarious
"If you intend on scaring people, I suggest you do it with your art."
I agree. If they want to make a 'fabulous' show make one, they get viewers, but other people want their shows as well. Make your own damn show!
@@mirceazaharia2094 The casting looks on point. But my fear is the writing. As we learned from "X-men 97"
Did not realise that bet midler hocus pocus was in Dr who ..
I knew that creature was familiar 🤦
You mean the bloke dressed as Pennywise?
Sh!tty asked me not to watch his show. I didn't want to disappoint him.
Funny, you " pronounced" his name the way I hear it pronounced - glad to know I'm not the onl one.
BBC was ruining the show and then Disney's dark magic consumed it
They used the Woke Crystal.
Like "race-swapped" Ariel in the live-action version of the Little Mermaid.
@@paulwatson9486The Pander Stone
@paulwatson9486 I wonder if Skeksis will show up?
They never learn that if you tell your fans "don't like, don't watch", they'll actually do it 🤦🏾♀
Yep look what happened to rooster teeth when they decided to become politically corporate and pulled the same thing. (No longer a company)
Pray tell, where is their beloved "new audience"? Surely they would've supported this in droves had it ACTUALLY EXISTED.
When I was a kid the only guys I knew who were into Dr. Who weren't exactly the kind of guys who were going to look out the window and say "Oh my GOD, it's JUST TOO BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE to stay indoors and watch Dr. Who!"
They can't blame good weather because we all know there's no such thing as good weather in the United Kingdom.
SURE THERE IS! It IS the 5 minutes every February 30th when the down pour tapers off to a drizzle!
Rains as much in the Pacific Northwest as it does in the UK. Soggy in Seattle LOL.
That’s so not true! I have been assured by a British that the sun always shines in the pub.
The sun never sets on the empire
🤔 that might not be the same as good weather
And we don’t have an empire anymore
It was 27 on that Saturday, so yeah it was good weather. We do get it and it's sometimes hotter than places like Spain!
MILLIONS are celebrating the fact that this show is failing. The sad thing? Those millions would be celebrating if they had done this show right. It's like they intentionally alienated everyone. I genuinely believe that they're doing it on purpose now. I don't exactly know why, but you can't be this stupid over and over and over without it being intentional.
Blackrock....and the ones behind Blackrock. They have a global agenda, part of which is to destroy the nuclear family, and Dr Who was always considered a family show.
Dei and Disney its doing this for long time they dont care about fans
The producers are getting money from Blackrock (investment firm) to push an agenda (PD FILES are cool) using gay people.
The producers are getting money from Blackrock (investment firm) to push an agenda (PDFiles are cool) using gay people as a Trojan horse.
Yes. Its the same with Star Wars and Trek etc. Deliberately wrecked for no reason other than to push messages. Its not working, its proved fans hate it, toys not selling, audience vanishing and yet the program and film makers do not change course or try to regain fans and ratings. They could be making millions off Star Wars, Trek and Doctor Who but they dont want to give fans what they want to see and what works as it goes against the message of Gay and Lesbian pride and diversity etc. They would rather it all failed and burned to the ground. They would rather lose millions than make millions. And when it gets too expensive and they have lost all the money and the studio and so on are bankrupt and its all destroyed what will they have gained? Lots of people out of a job? Its just madness...
Black isn't an issue, if Richard Aoyade was the Dr we would all tune in.
Aoyode's voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me.
That and I kinda prefer the Doctor to be more attractive than that.
Highest rated doctor Who was 1975 Ark in Space with Tom Baker, 13.7 million people in just England watched. Population of England is now 23 million more since then.
@poiujnbvcxdswq Still, Tom Baker is the most popular doctor of all time. Best personality and acting.
@poiujnbvcxdswq that’s because all the old doctor who fans don’t vote in those polls or were dead. Tenant sucked. He told fans to F Off. I’ve never voted in a poll ever! Of course all the young people who watched him would vote for only guy they saw dah! I saw one poll in online website that listed every doctor that was new from 2015 to present time was rated above Tom Baker lol, that is so funny, the kids these days never watched classic shows. Baker was highest rated of the old doctors. His episodes still had more viewers than current doctors. New doctor is worst thing I’ve ever seen, I didn’t like that lesbian woman doctor either
Per Overlord DVD leaks: 50k viewership on Dr. Who on Disney+ ...with a 70% tuning out at random spots during the show. Meaning only 15k people stayed with it until the end. Wonder how many were just asleep.
Or let it run in the Background and doing Something else
I'd guess a good 1/3 of that number... 2/3rds at the most..
Most of which are TH-camrs (or aspiring TH-camrs) that only stayed awake as they were planning to make a video reviewing it.
That channel is unreliable to say the least to be fair.
I used to do that when I had a t.v. Just leave it on in the background while I was doing housework/reading a book/doing something on the comp. I most definitely wasn't watching sht like Loose Women (UK version of The View).
Same with that article that claimed the 2.6M numbers weren't reflective because IPlayer had it on for 18 hours before BBC. What they left out was it aired from midnight so most would've been asleep then gone to work so I doubt those figures added much.
“For every long time viewer who leaves, 3 pronoun people will take their place”
Ok I left, good luck with the 3 new ones that didn’t show up.
Reality: “After all the long time viewers leave, 3 pronoun people will take their place.”
They failed to take into account that their new target audience is just as self-obsessed as themselves and considers Who's attempt at identity politics as beneath them, unless its a total hour of self obsessed raging and lecturing.
Oh they did, the only problem is the 3 people were all in one head.
Actually said 3 to 5 lol
Obviously, they don't teach basic math in the UK. Because it doesn't work out. Let's say 1000 long time viewers leave. So their theory is 3000 pronoun people will come watch, but that can't happen, because they are such a tiny minority the most they could get would be 800. 1000 - 800 is a loss of 200 viewers.
Folks, do not watch or support people who openly hate you. If this show isn’t made for you, don’t watch. Screw these people.
It's true when they say "everyone lives in their own bubbles." Especially actors and TV show writers, they haven't got a clue what goes on outside of their own bubbles.
Well it's time for some of those bubbles to get poked with reality needles
Dr Who is a British icon, or was, it was ripe for destruction and Disney loves destroying precious IP with established fan bases. RIP Dr Who.
Its insane. Like wtf is happening with all these ips being taken over
The BBC makes the show. Disney just bought the rights to stream it on Disney+.
@jishani1 disney help fund it so will have some input
Dude, by the time Disney got involved, it was destroyed.
@@SamtheBravesFan disney just sealed the coffin
People are learning the destructive power of apathy. More and more people are looking at things objectively, and walking away from what doesn't serve them anymore.
Didn't I see this musical villain from the movie Hocus Pocus? xD He looks like one of the witch sisters!
They told me not to watch, so I didn’t, and now they’re mad? Pick a lane, people.
imagine that, "don't watch my show/movie" and "don't buy my game" has worked so well for the bottom line in the past 🤨
_"If you don't like my politics, don't buy my book!"_

As Doomcock always says: Without respect we reject.
DAMN RIGHT
*Gatwa:* Don't watch it. Turn off the TV. Go and touch grass, please, for God's sake.
*Audience:* Your terms are acceptable.
The show should be renamed ‘Dr Poo’
And RTD schilling for Disney means only one thing… he wants to write for Disney in Hollywood, and as he’s soooo woke he will fit in nicely.
So guess where he will be once this show is cancelled after the next season.
I'm fascinated that changing everything about the show mattered so much to them.
Even as they sneer that the changes they made didn't matter and never mattered so there's no reason to change them back.
Almost makes you wonder why they didn't just write something new and not waste money on the IP.
👍
Creatively bankrupt people who know their ideas are garbage so they inject it into mainstream media to try to force you to consume it
@@user-ee7bz3ip2b Because it was something that straight white men enjoyed. They needed to change it because they want to take everything away from them. They want to rewrite history, erase white people, and destroy the old culture that white people like and remake it in their own image. The entire crux of their ideology is "white people need to suffer and give everything they have to me because I'm ThE fReAkInG rEiNcArNaTiOn Of GoD aNd I eXpEcT tO bE tReAtEd As SuCh". Everything they to is to that end exclusively.
G4: "Don't like it? Don't watch!"
_BBC furiously taking notes_
I would like to think that an African American kid - or any kid or adult of any ethnicity - wouldn’t need to see someone of their ethnicity to be inspired. You know; real equality and acceptance.
As a gay guy who never had interest in Doctor Who, despite me watching Clownfish videos about it, I can honestly say that just adding a gay character isn’t really enough of a reason to get me to watch something that I already have no interest in.
I also find it funny that they are constantly using the diversity card but then they had cancelled stuff like Owl House which was a good cartoon with a lot of diversity that was well like.
Disney might not tell you the numbers, but Doomcock got a video on a report on what they allegedly were.
To sum it up almost 80% of the people who bothered to turn the show on turned it off before it was finished, and they did so consistently during the episode. There was no single "they clearly didn't like this moment", it was a "They don't like this at all" kind of report.
Wow😂
Mr. Krabs: Ah boo-hoo, let me play a sad song on the world’s smallest violin.
“He feels sad”
Well Gatwa, you told people to touch grass and they obliged.
"Who wants an unwatched show at 3am?!"

the rumour going around the disney numbers for the two new episodes was around 52 thousand which if true is appalling.
They made several interviews and public posts clearly telling the fans not to watch, and now we are bigots for not watching?
Disney collecting dead IPs like infinity stones.
Then Disney turns them into kidney stones.

I like that. I'm going to use that.
I mean, what they were expecting? They been hostile for years, making the series more cringe and absurd, and tell people they don't want them... And they are sad no one is watching them?!
"Eff off, it's not for you!"
"Why aren't you watching?"
Its the Charlie's Angels meme all over again.
Look who's talking (Bruce Willis) or the Birdcage (Robin Williams)? Babies talking and drag queens, both were hilarious. We all watched, and we weren't racist. Why? Because they were both funny.

In the words of Dr. Sheldon Cooper, "...Doctor Who, although at this point it's more like Doctor Why Bother".
yeah when did he say that ? AFTER Capaldi?
Cuz the Capaldi era is pure gold since he was the Doctor. The definitive article.
@@througtonsheirs_doctorwhol5914 Actually it was in 2007 when David Tennant was the Doctor. But his comment was about not being able to watch an episode from the beginning. I paraphrased the comment as a perspective on the current state of the show. And as Sheldon was talking about 30 minute episodes, he must have been talking about one of the older series.
@@RCD566 yeah i think so, too, think i 'member seing this quip online in a compilation of gags
This reminds me of "Sherlock". It got weirder, and weirder and the scripts deteriorated in quality to the point where no one cared anymore.
westworld is even more fitting .
Remember the religious Right and how everything had to conform to their worldview or you were evil? How is this not the same thing, but under the political Left?
It's really funny because the religious right outright said this shit and other stuff going on would happen if society allowed a few things. I might not like it but they were right.
Why aren't studios figuring out by now that they should be telling their actors, "stop talking about social issues in your interviews and just promote the show as something entertaining to watch." It would solve like 90% of their self-inflicted viewership issues.
The studios are probably telling the celebs to get out there and talk up the DEI stuff because Blackrock has mandated that they push it. When so many companies are doing something that the actual people hate, then rest assured, someone is behind the scenes pulling the strings.
They don't have that much control over the actors. We the audience associate actors and directors with studios but to these people, they are just gig employees who work for a few weeks or months and move on.
Because they are getting money from other people, whether it is investment firms or in this case, the tax payers. Otherwise, you can be sure they would have wised up much more quickly... unless you're Disney, of course.
Wouldn’t matter that much bro. The truth is nobody would watch the garbage anyway because it’s just that… garbage
they also need to stop writing the social issues into the scripts though.
like the first episode literally had pro-choice, and pro-immigration, and body positivity movement, AND soft on crime/no prisons arguments. just off the top of my head.
Did they really think the “old fans” would just hang their heads in shame and say, “Okay I’ll stay up til past midnight to watch Doctor Who, and damn it, I’ll enjoy it!” Umm, okay…
If my Mom couldn’t guilt me into cleaning my room or eating my vegetables, what chance does these people have? None. I’ll watch what I like. I don’t like what Dr Who has become.
Stopped watching him when Jody was announced!! Was a fan for over 40 yrs! They say they can replace the old fans, I accepted that challenge. Let’s see if they can replace us!! I spent thousands on my books, DVDs, comics, toys etc!! I have walked away and apparently a lot of others have as well!! Oh well we touched grass!!
I find it amazing that after telling the people who have issues with Dr. Who should not watch the show they are mad that they aren't watching the show
So using Hollywood Logic.
There is no Straight white Man in this so i dont feel represented, since i cant identifie with Characters that dont look like me.
Exactly, came to say the same thing. We shouldn’t be guilted into watching this. If we don’t want to watch don’t watch. If I’m not represented I’m not going to watch.
@blablubb8615 Now you're getting it! ;)
It’s their own fault. Imagine watching the 2005th Doctor Who and discovering the character, watching him evolve; only to see them undo everything about him.
But they told us to "F off", "touch grass", to not let the door hit us on the way out, and that we'll easily be replaced by new fans.
This is what they all want
"too nice outside" is code for "busy touching grass"
Jake Harkness was a good character who was gay, but that wasn't all he was. He was a good character first, played by an extremely charismatic actor, who was interesting before we found his sexuality. That's how this should be done. This new doctor isn't interesting, and his whole personality is that he's gay.
That's not entirely fair. Some of his personality is that he's black I'm sure
Isnt Harkness Pansexual? I mean, he basically would get laid with whatever he deemed attractive to his eyes, provided it is an adult of its species.
Captain Jack wasn't gay he was bisexual (or even omni-sexual, he'd screw anything). But you're right that he was an interesting character who had a very open & progressive opinion about acceptable sexual partners. His sexual adventures were just a side story that you glimpsed every now and then, they weren't the only thing he had to talk about.
Yes. And they turned off hand comments in to plot points like him being the face of boe

Entertainment has to be the only industry that blames its customers for its failure.
Pink was huge in the 80's I had a pink Bagutta shirt the girlies loved it, especially when they caught a whiff of my Kuoros aftershave 😂
Of course Disney would never consider that turning a family science fiction show into a queer musical comedy might have affected ratings?
who is even watching it these days, I stopped midway thru Jodie's debut episode, as it wasn't as interesting as the other Doctors,
Just wait a few episodes until the classic Who villains (updated for current year by Disney) are introduced...the DEI-leks, the Twerking Angels and the Cyber-They/Thems
We won't know the ratings....until Disney doesn't renew for a 3rd season...then we'll know they were awful.
I live in the U.K. it was pissing down in Accrington … and they had the double bill going into Eurovision Song Contest , probably the biggest one off show in Europe and the U.K..
I'm a simple man I Mowed my Grass and touched it and never looked that Ghey Docter's way.
It's like the Little Britain - USA version of Dr. Who. There's a recurring character who's entire identity is being "The Only Gay In The Village" and obsessing on that fact. It's wonderfully satirical. Nobody cares. But he's always bringing it up and it puts everyone off.
Oddly Matt Lucas was a companion. Odd they didn't have him do it as Daffyd Thomas
Don't mind the gay doctor but , just as original star wars ,miss the real diversity on this show: the practical and CGI sentient alien species
Re the 80s actually being more diverse- 1980s films have long struck me as having been very international. I mean, there were lots of movies that took place at least partly in Africa, South America, and Asia, such as the Indiana Jones movies, Romancing the Stone and its sequel, Out of Africa, The Gods Must Be Crazy, The Emerald Forest, Volunteers, Octopussy, Gandhi, The Last Emperor, etc. And as you say there were major black stars. Eddie Murphy's Beverly Hills Cop is still popular, besides having been very influential on the cop film genre.
It's Charlie's Angels all over again. "It wasn't made for you" leads to "But why did they leave?!"
They can crocodile tears all they want. They told everyone; fans, supporters, haters, consumers and 'current year audience' they are wrong, bigots, -ists and -phobes They reap what they have sown as their identity.
The dr should forever be British
It's not a 'win' when those in control of the show are shoving 'inclusion' into everyone's faces and making them absolutely sick of it. That's how you end up LOSING.
the dvd box set is available now in the 3 DVDs for a 1£ in your local charity shop.
When has nice weather ever stopped nerds from sitting inside and watching tv?
Jeremy Clarkson: "Oh. NO!"
Also Jeremy Clarkson: "Anyway..."
@@mirceazaharia2094Also also Jeremy Clarkson: "Let's not get into 'Oo ruined 'Oo..."
You know that thing we tried and it flopped? Let’s keep trying it until it doesn’t flop. What do you mean it keeps flopping? Keep trying!
They told people not to watch it and surprise pikachu face, they did not watch it.
Doctor Who went from must watch TV to nah, gotta pass TV.
It went from must watch to Tv to nah, gotta touch grass TV....hehe...that grass will be getting worn thin and bald patches at this rate...
They tell us not to watch cause it's not for us but we will be the ones that get the blame when the series dies
Wow! Who’d have seen this coming.
Has anyone ever bothered to check where that "New Audience" even lives?
Is it on this planet?
That abomination is NOT Dr. Who.
And The Doctor WILL regenerate and outlive this horror!
@@supernautacusNope. The show is dead. It needs a hiatus.
@@user-ey4lx7nc6m ...Agreed. But that still allows it to overcome the current insanity.
At this point, I've zero interest in watching current Doctor Who. I'd rather watch classic Doctor Who or touch grass.
I'd rather eat the grass at this point
im young and ive considered watching it all from the start but whats the point? the 60s stuff will be low budget that gets better and better as the seasons go on,then peak with the 90s and 00s stuff then go downhill,not worth seeing the rise and fall tbh
@@random_an0n The low budget is what makes it fun to watch today.
Tom Baker Dr. Who was peak Dr. Who.
@@RenlangRen Agreed, Pertwee was also really good.
They actively chased off the show’s established audience. It’s another franchise Disney is destroying AGAIN. It’s gone from “Doctor Who” to “Doctor Why Bother watching” since it was revealed by the few people who chose to watch all seem to agree it was hot garbage.
peter capaldi was the LAST Doctor who there is nothing afterwards.....but i did hear they made another show called "Doctor Woke"
They can’t be surprised right? They made a show for a very small group of people. This is not Dr Who its a sad copy.
Here's an idea: don't antagonize your customer base.
Gatwa tells us not to watch, we didn't, and now he feels sad? Cry over some spilt milk Gatwa. I'm touching grass.
Well, they said not to watch... 🤷♂️
Did they learn nothing from The Marvels and Frosk on fake G4? 😂😂
