Gay ‘Dr. Who’ actor may have driven away half the show’s audience

It was inevitable that when Disney took over the venerable British sci-fi show, it would use it to advance the LGBTQ+ agenda.

In 1963, the BBC debuted Dr. Who, a show about an earth-friendly alien who zooms around time and space in his “Tardis,” a spaceship disguised as a 1960s-era police callbox. In every episode, he has exciting adventures with his female sidekick and often saves mankind from bad aliens. The original show was retired in 1983, only to be rebooted in 2005. Along the way, the Doctor periodically “regenerated,” allowing new actors to replace the old ones. The latest regeneration is a woke, black, gay guy. When audiences felt he failed in Dr. Who-ness, he told them not to watch...and it appears that 50% of them promptly turned off their sets.

Dr. Who has always been a leftist show because it’s a BBC production. It routinely castigates Christianity, capitalism, and guns (although it’s perfectly willing to have the good guys take up arms and kill in defense of saving England). However, of late, the show decided to take a dive into the sexual aspect of cultural Marxism. When one of the most popular Dr. Who actors returned to the show for a 60th anniversary special, the BBC inserted transgenderism into the plot:

Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary special clarifies the pronouns of the Doctor after Jodie Whittaker’s regeneration. After being called out for assuming the creature’s pronouns, the Doctor asks Beep the Meep what pronouns to use. The Meep says that, rather than using pronouns, the Meep uses the definite article in conjunction with the creature’s name. The Doctor says, “I do that too,” providing a definitive answer to how the Doctor uses labels after regenerating as both a masculine-presenting and feminine-presenting Time Lord.

The writer is a moron, Doctor Who has not always been a left wing show. Redixulous article.

you're obviously writing from a condition of ignorance. I have every episode of Doctor Who that still exists through Capaldi on my media player, and can pretty definitively state that the show has always had a leftist slant.

Sometimes it is less pronounced, but it's always there.

Most successful TV shows eventually die due to either exhaustion or oddball departures from the show's defining characters, settings, and plot lines. Dr. Who seems to now be suffering from a soon to be lethal combination of both pathologies.

The 3rd Doctor era was very leftist. I L’m not a fan AT ALL of the Doctor or era
I like the 4th.

They lost me with the female doctor. I saw one episode with this guy and it was a train wreck.

Clara was great, I loved Rose too though. Any girl named Bill? throw her out on Rigel 4.

Somehow I went 40 years without ever hearing of this show.

Thus spells the end of Doctor Who. (Get woke, go broke)

A previous doctor was a woman. (Jodie Whittaker) I guess this was done to please the trans community.

Never mind that in Doctor Who canon, there are female Time Lords, even in the reboot. (for example, Alex Kingston as River Song)

“Tom Baker was the guy with the scarf.”

Thanks. I checked the name with “images”, and that’s the only Dr-Who I’d watched. (Entertaining in a “campy” way). Not sure I’d watch other shows today.

“Droids” were clearly made out of poster paper, but the “acting” overcame such shortcomings.

Fans of the show ADORED an earlier Dr. Who, but I never saw him.

I’d have at least she’d have been a more refined Englishwoman type instead of a mild Cockney hoofer.

Way back when, I used to watch Dr. Who. I thought it was pretty cool at the time. So now he’s gay and they call this progress. Walt is surely rolling in his grave. He gave them a dynasty and they’ve turned it into a seedy carnival.

at the writing has been awful.


Episode 3 in this series has the Doctor standing on a “smart” landmine for nearly the entire lame script. Exciting? Yes! one hopes that the mine will detonate and the Doc regenerate with a better writer.

His costume is screams GAY. He presents no evidence of being straight. A rose is a rose by any other name, its a rose.

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

Since the 3rd show has the Doc standing on a land mine for most of it, the number of viewers lost was only exceeded by the number of viewers hoped the mine would detonate.

I think he is referring to the first 3 doctors. Doctor #2 was a British spy during WWII - James Bond if you will.

"Yeah, she was a horrible Doctor."

Maybe she's a Doctor like Dr. Jill...
