John Nathan Turner, a producer of the program who really overstayed his welcome, ruined the original series and began introducing homosexual overtones into the program. Turner’s tenure began with Tom Baker’s final season (possibly forcing the highly successful Baker out of the series according to some) and continued through the cancellation of the series with Sylvester McCoy. The fiasco involving Colin Baker’s rocky two years on the show need not be recounted here.
I big source of disappointment for me has been that the series has been loaded down with too much gay agitation propaganda, even when such preaching has nothing to do with advancing the stories.
Are you talking about the 2005-present series? I haven’t noticed it, other than when they had that idiot Captain from Torchwood on there. I watched about 20 minutes of Torchwood and flipped it off quick.
I don't want to look at fags. I don't want to hear about them. I don't care to even know they exist. They disgust me.
According to Darwinian evolution they should have died out long ago. They don't reproduce, so they have to recruit. I don't care to experience their recruitment processes!
"The fiasco involving Colin Baker" had to do with the then BBC Head of Drama, Michael Grade, who not only admitted he didn't like Doctor Who, but killed other sci-fi shows like The Tripods and reruns of the original Star Trek that didn't cost the Beeb a penny to produce!
Further, after an 18-month hiatus, and "Trial of a Time Lord," it was decided by Grade and another working for Grade who had an equal distaste for the show that Colin would be removed from the show because three years was enough as far as they were concerned, even if the show wasn't actually on the telly.
For the final two seasons, JN-T was only a reluctant producer as he actually wanted to move on but he wasn't allowed to. Having moved the show from its traditional time slot of Saturday afternoons to compete with long-running programs like Coronation Street is what ultimately killed the show. Don't place blame at the feet of JN-T for things beyond his control. He did the best he could with what he had.
