The seventh put you off? A lot of the fandom hated the sixth.
Black holes are outta sight!
They had a gay guy on there in a prominent role. Good looking and popular. After he left he had some kind of scandal.
That was a Kilt.
The irnoy is a family can drop more money staying at a european style disney hotel for one week, than actually spending a week on the French Riviera in a nicer hotel.
That guy also had a spinoff he was so popular.
They should change the name of the show from Dr Who to Dr What!?

“My wife liked David Tennant. To me it looked like all he ever did was run around shouting a lot”
Was David Tennant the skinny Dr-Who wearing a hat and big scarf? I lost track after about 1990. Something better on TV must have come along. Star Trek TNG?
Dr. Who personified the new word, “camp”.
“Camp SciFi”.
Tom Baker was the guy with the scarf.
“Disney broke it. Right up their own a$$.”
To be fair to Disney, they bought into a down market for Dr. Who. The female Dr had it going downward but with the gay Dr, it took a swan dive onto the payment!
Disney wokes and destroys everything. Its far bigger than just Dr Whozits.
The beloved British series “Doctor Who” did not live up to ratings expectations after its star told viewers not to watch if they had a problem with the progressive messaging of the show. Its cast, former lead, and director have been promoting progressive ideologies recently, while the show’s viewership has been cut nearly in half.
Lead actor and Doctor Who character Ncuti Gatwa already had the second-worst premiere for a season of “Doctor Who” in December 2023’s Christmas special titled, “The Church on Ruby Road.” According to the BBC, the episode had 4.7 million viewers.
…
This, coupled with writer and executive producer Russell T. Davies insisting that he attempts to curtail “homophobia and transphobia” by presenting these themes to youth, did not yield positive results.
Gatwa’s episode, “Space Babies,” along with episode two, “The Devil’s Chord” significantly dropped off, losing almost half its viewership with just 2.6 million and 2.4 million viewers, respectively
I enjoyed the Tom Baker era but when it switched to Pete Davidson I slacked off until it was nothing.
I watched some of Tenants era but really wasn’t into it anymore.
Just seemed really silly and not funny.
It gonna full gay is humourous in that it has consumed itself as PC often does
I distinctly saw a tutu. You can’t mistake one for the other.
I watch a podcast on u-tube called “Nerdrotic” which is for nerds, naturally and they are mighty po’ed at Disney and especially Kathleen Kennedy who has taken their favorite IP from Star Wars to Raiders of the Lost Ark and Marvel franchises and rammed political correctness down their throats and ruined each one.
Which I’m not a big fan of any of those but Disney is in big trouble, stock wise yet the stockholders still reelected their president, Bob Iger who presided over this fiasco.
These nerds tear into these libs on a weekly show called “Friday Night Tights” which can be fun but when they talk over each over it can be too much and it tune out.
It will get worse, much worse according to these former fans!
Been watching for years. Good stuff. Nerdrotic and FNT. Clownfish, Critical Drinker, and Yellow Flash all good. All based. Hate Disney.
No one while want this body after this freak is finished with it ,LOL
I forgot Critical Drinker!
I love his Scottish accent and his dog that’s always asleep in the background!
And yeah, they’re all pretty based for the generation they
come from
Especially Gary’s background.
Clownfish.tv and Doomcock also discuss it.
