Drinker's Chasers - Doctor Who: This Show Hates You

Published 2024-05-17
The new series of Doctor Who hasn't exactly gone down well. In fact, its caused a storm of controversy as the actors and showrunner lash out at their own dwindling fanbase.

    1989: "Please don't cancel Doctor Who!" 2024: "For the love of God, please cancel Doctor Who!"

    It's an interesting strategy to keep the show fresh. Previously they've replaced companions, they've replaced the Doctor. Now they're trying to replace the audience.

    The problem is RTD thinking this is "his" Doctor Who. No it's not, Russel. You have a responsibility to more than your personal agenda. It's not "your" show. Your its custodian. Too many filmmakers today are like this, and their shows and movies suck because of it.

    I am a gay man, and I REALLY can't stress enough how much the vast majority of gays can't stand this cringe agenda pushing being done in our name by a minority of loud activist bullies.

    This is Davies from 20 years ago. He's now allowed to do whatever he wants. Eccleston hinted at the real reason why he only did one season, and Davies was a big part of that.

    The Tennant era averaged 8-10 million viewers per episode, the Gatwa era is averaging 2 million. This means that 75-80% of the audience has left and it's not hard to see why.

    I have gay friends who have been Doctor Who fans for decades, and they are so utterly appalled by how bad this is that they were publicly asking on social media trying to find someone who could give them reasons to continue watching.

    As someone related to one of the original Dr Who writers, (60-s till 86) I am stunned but not surprised by this BBC reach around nonsense. Dr Who should be scary, brave, mind blowing. It's doing all of this, but in the wrong ways. Dr Who was never about pandering

    "You don't like our woke garbage show? Haha joke's on you we made it more woke and more garbage!" It's a bold strategy for sure.

    Less than 2% of the population isn’t going to carry your show…they just totally alienated 98% of their potential viewers.

    When I first saw the Maestro I thought, “Bette Midler’s character from Hocus Pocus is in Doctor Who?”
  • @Milton2k
    I don't think Davis is a changed man, I think the studio gave him free reign, and this is his true self.
  • @gavinlisk2292
    Russell T. Davies. The man who resurrected Dr Who (in 2005) and the man who buried Dr Who ( in 2024).
  • @bdndl3715
    You know it's bad when the title says "Doctor Who" but the thumbnail shows "Bette Midler from Hocus Pocus"
  • @Big_Green
    I remember correctly I seen an interview with Davies about the newest season and he said something to the effect of 'no one would dare to tell him no'. Honestly, you can tell that nobody told him no.
