Dr Who was a national institution in the UK, most families would watch it. These figures are an embarrassment for all involved.
Summed up perfectly 👍
Those figures don’t tell the full story. If the person were really British they would know it’s still a national institution no matter how hard the devious American Fundies desperately attempt to have it cancelled because they can’t tolerate sections of society other than straight white being represented. Just sad types.
Yes, it was extremely "British" sci-fi in many ways, harkening back to such great British sci-fi as H G Wells "The Time Machine" and "The War of the Worlds", and "Quatermass". I even had a German work colleague say it was very British. Now it's cosmopolitan, lefty-lovey rubbish.
@@jona826 it's still pretty good wdym ?
I just started a re-watch of my Bluray of Destiny of the Daleks. Those episodes were getting over 13 million views, and that was overnight views only lol.
What was once a low-budget sci-fi adventure show is now just a vehicle for identity politics and queer theory. No wonder it's tanked.
I wonder if the budget is bigger.
@@MephiticMiasmaIt is bigger but it was all spent on sequins.
@@MephiticMiasma RTD,s ego is the only thing thats bigger.
@@Benjiesbeenbetter. go woke go broke
@@saywhat1512so the only people who matter now are gays, trannies and ethnic minorities! And clearly that 1 to 2 or 3% aren’t watching either and that’s the reason the shows in the toilet. I’ve watched since I was a kid in 80’s and spent thousands on videos, dvds, books, Blu rays and other merchandise so don’t dictate to tell me I’ve never watched a single episode. What I don’t want to watch is episodes with pathetic identity politics but no actual plot, get lectured to and see a less than mediocre black man mincing around kissing men, been overly camp and crying. Fruity is not the Doctor and this show is NOT Doctor Who!!!
Why would Disney be pissed? This is exactly what they wants (Acolyte proves that)
Exactly! They only have themselves to blame
They just keep raking in the Blackrock backdoor $$$ for pushing the agenda.
DEPRAVITY OVER MONEY, WE ALREADYKNOW THIS ABOUT D IN THE U S., NOW U K IS WAKING UP - THIS IS D's AGENDA, theyCATERtoKIDS 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
RECRUIT and CONVERT
@@bobbyfellerd2993 When stuff like this pops up, I just use it as an opportunity to tell my kids that some shows/people stand for wrong things.
Disney and others need to realize sexuality isn't character or content and never can replace story.
And YOU need to go get a girlfriend
@@seanjones180 WTF kind of comment is that?
@@seanjones180 Wow ! You know EVERYTHING about EVERYONE. Amazing.
@@seanjones180 What are you, 14?
@@seanjones180 Brilliant comeback, Di$ney bot 🙄
What i say in this comment is a true account and shows the disgusting nature of the current fans of DW, never would i think having an opinion would lead me to a meeting at my work.
So this is what happened, i was a member of a popular DW group on Facebook, and i expressed my disliking towards the overall state of the once great series and was immediately met with backlash from deluded fans who falsely accused me of extreme racism, misogyny and violent threats. All of which were grossly false. Fast forward one week later and i got called to a meeting and was met with HR showing me screenshots of my alleged comments and behaviours. All of which have been edited to make a convincing peice of "evidence". It turns out one of the group admins had screenshot my comments, edited them and sent to my company via E-mail. Fortunately i remained in the group and showed my unedited comments and proved my total innocence. It just shows how disgusting people are. I contacted the admin who falsely accused me and threatened them with legal action and will be involving the Police and i was immediately blocked and banned from the group.
what next ? a severed Dalek head in your bed ? .... jeez were they always this bad without the woke or did these become radicalized over years or they fresh fans of new stuff ?
Wow!!! Messing with your livelihood and altering your remarks to make them ugly because you disagree? This is where we’re at as a society???!!! This is clearly an example of how the Left deals with what they consider “wrong-think” and the ends justify the means as well as another battle in the Culture War for the West. I really, really hope you are successful in dealing with the person who did this to you and I hope your employer apologized.
Wow. What an awful experience. Sorry you went through this.
Being in any social media group or even posting on social media these days is like playing Russian Roulette. Get off now.
Oops I may have just cancelled myself using that term, we truly live in Clown World.
That's absolutely insane, especially when in the much less insane recent past you could discuss and criticise a bloody tv show actually in the workplace as much as you liked.
The cringe of one, the cringe of two, the cringe of many...
This 😂
Maaaaaaannnnny!
The Power of One!
The Power of Two!
The Power of Bankruptcy!
A reminder that at least The Acolyte isn't as politicized as Dr Who is. Whew!
Meneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Proving you can polish a turd and roll it in glitter but a turd is still ..... a turd.
And RTD is the Turd Polisher in Chief.
try rolling a sloppy one in glitter.. glitter disappears inside it like the blob
If it stinks like shit, it probably is shit.
@@jackochainsaw i knew dr who was in the sewerz the minute they went back in the past and there was a shedload of african men and women in victorian times ... back when capaldi was the timelord
I knew that kiss and the doctor acting like a horny teenager from last weeks supposed kids and family show, would impact this weeks, and i was right.
That episode was new all time low in standards.
Yes exactly. I thought the same. Its not a large enough drop though, but then there are not many people watching it.
Like Star Wars and Star Trek before it, I have no hatred for modern Dr Who. Not anymore. Just an overwhelming sense of ''meh''. Nothing but a complete retcon of the last ten years will satisfy me at this point. Until then, let it burn, let it rot, let it fail. I don't care.
my only satisfaction will them cancelling the show and all these hacks losing their jobs
Same.
@thespacesbetweenstudio3346 I like the way you think. I always see in these comments " Don't give your money to people who hate you." And these people do hate us. Why shouldn't they lose their jobs and everything else. 'Ef 'em.
Last 10?! If you retcon heaven sent you’ll have a lot of angry fans.
@@redfieldblair Peter Capaldi's Doctor was where the rot started, not with Jodie Whittaker. I would go all the way back to Matt Smith and start from there.
One fact to recall: the UK population is at an all time high so that makes the failure of modern Who even more abject.
Because most of our population isn't British anymore and that's not being racist that being statistical
@@Rogers1000 yes, and so that makes the failure even to worse because the "new Britons" aren't interested either. Nobody wants this crap.
I doubt if anyone has much of an idea what the population of the country is except that it is historically huge. The census is pretty meaningless as I doubt if there was much checking if the true number of people was declared in the households.
Want to know an interesting way to turn their nonsense around onto them? Remember when they said all the sexist racists had left Dr who after Jodie came aboard and new feminists and alphabet people tuned in (at record lows for the time)? Well those people were nice lovely Dr who fans. Now they too have left! Are they now sexist racists? Cos they weren't two years ago. Now they are.
@@Rogers1000no mate. I think it's less than 15% are non native.
All I can say is there must be whole lot of grass getting touched on Saturday evenings these days
😂😂👏👏
Football was on
Funny thing is you lot aren't and are spending more time on hating stuff, you all probably hate on other things to reflect your self hatred, go get a life people
@@helloneighborfan1626 You mean like how you’re spending your time watching these videos and responding to comments with your own negative comments?
@@helloneighborfan1626 did I say I hated anything in my comment if so please point it out
When David Tenant, Matt Smith, and Peter Capaldi were in the lead the BBC was proud to show the numbers. Not so much after Capaldi. My question is thus; If the BBC is a state owned entity, isn’t there some rule or law that says they have to release the data? It is paid for by the public so isn’t the rating data actually owned by the people? You thoughts.
From what I understand, not many people from over there care only bc they’re too busy cancelling those TV licenses
@@DoodleThisDefund the BBC.
@@DoodleThis I really don’t understand the license thing.
@@pauldavis9387 Someone from the Uk can explain it WAY better then I could, but essentially it’s sort of like the US version of PBS.
@@DoodleThis But you have no say in paying?
About time they took this show out behind the barn and put it out of its misery…and ours.
I misread it as from behind the Bum and put it down 😂
@@Mark-nh2hswell it’s the BBC/Disney “dream team” so that probably works too
@@howard7073 🤣👍 good point
They need to stop with the gay/trans references in the show when I was 8 Colin Baker was the doctor I watched there were no references of the above they made it forbidden to mention they should stick to that golden rule
David Tennant era, as a family when my kids were younger we were glued to the show; never missed an episode and it was an 'event'. Now, my husband watches it because he vaguely supports all the representation stuff, but he doesn't actually like it the way he did.
BBC Refusing to show their ratings is like a child that refuses to show their test scores to their mother and/or father because he or she knows they'll flip their lid with the low test score.
Nobody's interested in the London bubble, apart from those that inhabit it, which are very few.
RTD really has destroyed his own legacy when it comes to DW and I'm still surprised ... because this was a guy who absolutely understood what was needed to make the show a success in 2005.
He knew the part of the Doctor needed to be filled with an actor who was basically 'too good' for the show. He knew classic villains needed to be taken more seriously and to show them as a genuine threat. He knew he had to stay true to the history of the show and not alienate the older fanbase. He also knew he would have to introduce some modern elements here and there to interest new young fans.
Now the show is just a playground for the characters and stories that he and his friends PERSONALLY want to see. Any thought of mass appeal and doing what is best for the health of the show has been discarded. I thought he was smarter than that ... I thought he respected the show more than that .... I was fucking wrong, and I hate him for risking the whole thing like this.
Surprised? I'm surprised you are. RTD always wanted to make it Queer as Folk, but saner minds prevailed in the early days. Now, however, he can do what he wants - and you can see the result.
It's as if OUR culture is being attacked for some reason.....
It is, and it's the new puritans, the hyper high speed woke cancel crew
@@ericadams3428True. They are a nasty mixture of the puritans, the Red Guard and the taliban.
Corrupting our 🐮💩 coping mechanism.
The classic run didn't have the huge budget it has now. And audiences back then didn't have the convenient access to media technology we now have. The show also has a much larger population from which to draw potential fans. This was a great time to make Doctor Who the ratings phenomenon it deserves to be. But now it's only barely clinging to a viewership of 2 million activists and CZcamsrs. In a sane business world, Chibnall and RTD should never work in television again.
This is one of the few times Disney are not to blame, this is 100% on RTD and BBC.
He was rehired and already filming with Shitty Gutrot before Disney got involved.
Some of it is Disney though. They do have some influence. That fact has come out in RTD interviews.
Disney has a lot of dei requirements that just enabled RTD to do what he does unhindered. I'm hoping that he will turn the show around in the final and make the dr less of a cuck somehow but I just don't think it will happen. He is going to run away and hide whole everyone dies and then come back at the end with some bs way of saving the day by being gay and crying.
I'll just go ahead and lump Disney in there anyway, if it's alright with you
Thats what being pumped in the back doors gets you.
Shitty gutrot 🤣
would have been cool if Disney put a bunch of black women in in New Who, I love black women . . . I don't care if they are straight, bi, or quire... black women kissing each other would be awesome!
Doctor Who is DOA. Watched ten minutes of the first episode and haven't looked back since.
After seeing the last few minutes of Part 3 of the Christmas Special (the "double doctor") episode, I said, "That's enough. I'm outta here!" And the ratings for Doctor Who Gives A Shyte indicate that I wasn't the only one who came to that conclusion.
Quit watching after the first Jody episode
@@snake57 I stopped watching after the Capaldi-to-Whittaker regeneration episode ("Twice Upon A Time"). Because that's when I knew the show was too far gone to save.
I made it through some jody episodes. most where mediocre but somehow had hope. until this awfull "orphan 6" episode happened and I quit on the spot. later hearing that was a great Idea to do.
with the return of Tennant in the specials, and the end of chipnail, I gave it another go. sadly I just saw how they went even deeper into the wokism and that they spit into the face of every older fan there is by destroying any fond memories we had of donna and the doctor. all while taking a huge poop on the grave of our beloved wilfred (Bernard Chibbins) while at it.
I see why Capaldi didnt want to regenerate and it would have been the best, if he didnt
More time traveling not gay hookups.
I implore people to NOT even hate watch this, The Acolyte, and others! Please don't do it, it adds to the numbers. You can always watch it in a month or so once all eps are all out and not contribute to the important numbers of today.
I have no intention to watch it at all
people need to get this. if you are gonna hate watch. at least pirate
I’ll probably check it out in 2 years when it comes to my local library. That’s what I’ve done for 13s era
At this point I think this show might actually benefit from a full overhaul reboot
Sadly, I think this is what the writers and makers of the ‘new Who’ thought they had done. And it didn’t work.
True. I would like to see a showrunner like Neil Cross, he wrote Luther and the sci-fi show Hard Sun. That was a bit bonkers and batshit, but at least it was interesting.
@@kittyroo9294 or just sell it to a person or company who actually gives a crud
NO! That is what this is. What it would benefit from is to go back to a mass appeal straight white male Doctor, who would reach the largest audience. Good writing, where he is a Time Lord from Gallifrey and the Timeless Child origins is removed from the character and it goes back to what it always was. DOCTOR WHO! Put it on over winter on dark nights, and make each story a two parter to bring back the cliff hangers of old. Its not hard to fix. It worked for over 50 years, its only the woke and gender crap of today that is wrecking it. If you did the above you would get the old fans back, you would get new ones coming in the under 30s, the merch would sell and it would do will in the good ol USA. You know, like it did in 2005....
It needs to go back to its roots. It's unrecognisable now.
That lack of US viewership is the killer blow. That's what the BBC and Disney were looking to. We have no idea just how badly it performed because it didn't even break the Nielson top ten streaming and anything outside the top ten they don't even release figures for lol.
The BBC partnered with DEIsney in an effort to save the show. And, upon learning of this, we here in the USA said, "Well, that's the end of one of the most beloved shows on television." And we were right. Everything DEIsney touches turns to 💩
I’m actually impressed that they took a franchise as HUGE as Doctor Who and just filled it with so much garbage that it sunk the franchise
Yeah. I am a LONG time fan of DW (Tom was my "first" doctor).
Being here in the US, I'm not going to pay for Disney. Not even for the Doctor. I dont think Im in the minority on that.
I haven't seen any of the new season so I can't comment on the content or the acting.
@@DoodleThis ITs dead in the water. BUT the classic series is still huge, still has a following and still sells the merch. The latest animation recon of The Celestial Toymaker has been released and is doing well, along with classic era figures which still sell....This is what brought the show back after the fans kept it alive buying all the disks etc. So it will carry it in the future after Gaywa has been binned....
@@Simon-xc5oy Oh I didn’t know the Toymaker video finally got released. I wanted to watch it, thanks!
So the LBGTQ community is not watching? So straight men now have the financial obligation to support this or be called a bigot.
its so funny because lbgtq want Representation yeah but they dont want fake shit. like you can feel when its fake as hell intended. the gay kiss wasn't even good for gay people it was an attack on gay people lmao.
The only person I know who watched it who is definitely gay posted "Bring back Patrick Troughton" after the first two episodes.
Doctor Who is a clown, RTD is a clown, the showrunners are a clown -- they can call go to hell.
Easy, easy. They're all going to Hell.
In 2024 Doctor Who became a question of which the answer was virtually nobody. Sad.
The final episode - the Doctor lands on the planet of the Lesbian Space Witches and they have a big musical mardi gras parade.
Pride parade.
Put a chicken in it and make it gay
Doctor Acolytes?
Ncuti said he wanted to twerk aliens to death
See! Any random person can come up with a better idea than the doofuses paid big bucks!
BBC: Ok Dr Who is doing great, massive viewership devoted multigenerational fan base, what should we do next?
RTD: Ok, ok, hear me out…
It’s a bit sad how things that used to be loved can quickly fade away. Oh well, what’s for dinner today?
In the case of the BBC and DEIsney, they're eating crow with 💩sauce.
In the DR's case man meat is for dinner
People used to watch Dr Who for escapism from everyday tedium. Now Dr Who CATERS to everyday tedium. Why bother watching something that's main aim is shoving THEIR values down your throat? Where's the escapism now?
It'll stop a 2 million because those are the combo of hospital TVs which are never turned off and CZcamsrs looking for content.
In the immortal words of Nelson Muntz "HA HA!“.
People are sick of this shit. Just sick of it.
Once my go-to show to escape my depression now I read the old novels
The Big Finish audio adventures with the Classic Doctors are great.
With all the streaming numbers they cannot hit the views of McCoy when the series was canceled.
considering the bbc is governent funded could i not submit a foi request to get the ratings in full?
Technically the BBC is independant and financed by a special tax called a TV licence.
Does the UK even have a freedom of information type Bill. I know they don't really like freedom over there that much. The Parliament, that is not the people.
There are also 11 million more people in the UK now with far, FAR better access to the show and yet the numbers are so much lower that ever before. It's insane how low the show has fallen and its such a shame.
Disney isn't pissed. This is clickbait. The show was #8 last week on the Disney+ top 10 and the highest action adventure offering. So, it's ratings are quite good in the US and the UK ratings mostly don't include Iplayer and are only measuring who watches at midnight. Oh, and if you don't like it...don't watch. Problem solved (except no clickbait titles)
Leftist cultural garbage making a conservative earn $$$.
Its not dead, its a corpse on life support
I mean, every new episode get a label “lowest rating ever”
Are they trying to beat their own record?
Even RTD needs life goals
Every time you see RTD and Mr. Gatwa together they seem like good friends. I wonder if Mr. Gatwa will come to view his scriptwriter in a negative way, eventually. Because Mr. Gatwa had the potential to play a popular version of The Doctor; a young, playful one, it's true, but with good scripts there was no reason that couldn't work.
I knew Dr Who was tanking when my sister told me she’d given up on it. She’s been a lifelong fan since the first ever episode, never missed an episode ever since, and will even watch a series more than once. She likes the actor who is playing this latest Dr Who but said he just isn’t the essence of Dr Who. She was prepared to give it a chance the same way she gave Jodie Whittacre a chance, but thinks the same applied to her, she just wasn’t Dr Who. My sister stuck with it out of loyalty but now she has finally given it up. If the show has lost die hard fans like her, then as far as I’m concerned we don’t need to see the ratings, it’s over.
I’m the same but I’ve watched it from the very beginning (yes, I am that old!) I watched the Jodie Whittaker ones, one or two I thought were good, but I’ve watched 4 of this current series and lost interest, it’s just not very good now.
@@simoncarney9944 Yes, I’m that old as well! I can still remember how scared I was watching the first episode with my family. How sad it is that the fanatical woke cult has destroyed it after all these years.
I guess the Great Destroyer was more nice weather in england at 8pm at night.
maybe still hung over from last week's football game.
The weather wasn't really that nice ?
The grass is much softer these days.
Nope it was tipping it down. Foul weather, poiring with rain, cold...it never stopped where I lived it was a monsoon all afternoon, roads flooded due to blocked drains and poor maintenance. This was still going on at about 5pm, where it eased off to a light misty drizzle, but it kept raining and turned to normal light rain as it was getting darker later on....the whole day was a washout at some point all over the UK. So no one was out touching the grass as it was underwater. They had a captive indoor audience like on Christmas Day and only managed 2 million viewers its truly hysterical.
The Legend of Ruby Sunday! Amazing, very tense and just perfect.
The 'big finale' should theoretically have a bump. But they haven't built it up much, if at all. New Who fans are unlikely to know who Sutekh is, so that won't draw people in. Having a Doctor who wants to get his rocks off and puts his companion in danger is going to be a big turn off......with my best 'girlie' by my side, I'd sing...sing...sing.....'I'm the new doctor, I'm not OK, did you know I'm black, did you know I'm gay' ? 'He's the new doctor, he's not OK, he sees the Maestro and runs away. Oh, he's the new doctor, he's not OKaaaaaaaay....he does little else but cry all day.'
I didn’t know viewership figures included a show running for a few seconds before the TV was switched off. That’s messed up. The real figure could be a fraction of what’s reported.
Thats right, which also means some of the 2.02 from this Saturday could be innocent viewers who switched channels from the football on ITV to the next Euro game showing on BBC and just caught the end minutes of RTD's slash fiction show by mistake.
The number is based on the average so it would have been higher at the start of the episode
What?! I can't believe the masses aren't interested in gay entertainment.
Refusing to show the data is an answer in itself.
Hmm...cancelled? There will be another season. The only way it could be considered cancelled is if they take a tax write off for the next season and have it never see the light of day.
Ask fans of Spiderwick Chronicles, Star Trek Prodigy and other shows that have been cancelled and pulled despite completed seasons being available. There is absolutely no guarantee the completed Season 15 will air/stream. A more likely scenario is it will air but a finale season or special will be announced. If the iPlayer number numbers were good the show would be safe. By all accounts they are not.
Can the non-profit BBC take a tax deduction as did for profit US Corps?
The BBC is trying to show us why it needs public money as private Disney money is obviously wrong for it.
It's bad but not resident evil bad. I could see a second season being released. The question is if it can repair the damage season 1 has done and attract more viewers. If sales of Dr who merch and repeat viewing of older who episodes also drops off the show is over. Disney knows the name alone draws people in and there is probably a huge amount of money coming in from merch and fans watching old episodes after watching the newest ones. While the main series is not the draw for people it's still a gateway to the older better Dr who.
You really straight up stole this thumbnail from who culture huh
i mean who really gives a damn
The moment they announced it was heading to Disney. The graveyard network. It's not going to last. It's been 5 season since I watched a full episode or finished the season of episode.
Even if this iteration of Doctor Who was popular, it still probably wouldn't make much in revenue. If the older fans abandoned the series but were replaced by younger ones, it was the older fans that buy all the merchandise. The younger generation tends to be more minimalist in buying physical media and other objects. Although I am an older fan myself, the only merchandise I now buy is classic Who DVDS.
I love Doctor Who, and have done since being a child (45 years ago) I really dont want it to be cancelled. BUT, like many here, I have had major resovations about this new series. Its not the gay thing, its certainly not a black issue, its the CONSTANT promotion of a certain point of view. Doctor who wasn't PC in the past, by todays standards, BUT, it didn't try to promote a way of life, it was just fun, frightening and wonderfully British.
Go woke go broke rip Doctor Who, Star Wars and Marvel know what they have in common? Disney
This Dr Inclusivity, had no major character from a certain group. Wonder who that could be.
We used to run home as kids back in the late 00s because Doctor Who was on. Saturday night magic!! I can still remember the buzz and excitement!!
Yeah that's NOT happening anymore!! Sad! Just sad!!
The Cybermen have been counting the viewing figures for the new Dr Who, but they deleted them!
Woke Agenda Ruined Disney
Ruined all of Hollywood movies and popular iconic franchises
Woke is a fanatic cult, a cancer that destroys everything it touches.
Cant argue about facts.
I used to love Doctor Who, now I'm just apathetic.
Btw, I still love classic Who. I might relax with a beer tonight and watch 'The Wheel in Space'. Proud classic fan since 1977.
bro really, I thought this season was dw coming back to form, sure it has its agenda not denying that one bit. But man have the episodes been good, Boom, 73 yards, Dot and Bubble and now the legend of Ruby Sunday.
I thought these 4 episodes were brilliant (Devil's Chord was fine as well, Rogue and Space Babies not so much)
PS: I have not watched classic so I would not comment on it. Classic may be leagues better, but this season has been good. At least for me.
@@yashgoel3402
Hi mate, I'm glad you're enjoying it. For me,it's just not Doctor Who.
Here's a few classics for you:
Pyramids of Mars. (Sutekh)
Inferno.
Spearhead from Space.
Genesis of the Daleks.
City of Death.
Low budget, well written Doctor Who goodness!
@@thejacal2704 again, Doctor who classic must be good for this show to run this long and I would definitely give them a watch, but for me personally this season has had some really good ideas.
I believe you too can attest to that, but again if it is not for you then it is not for you.
RTD already said Disney doesn't care about ratings. They care about the 28 day numbers.
He's coping because he knows it's failed.
@codyw1 oh definitely, and his show is terrible. If you listen to when and how he said it in the interview, you can tell he doesn't realize just how important a fact it is. I'm sure Disney isn't oblivious to the ratings, but it highlights the mindset of a service willing to pay for multiple seasons of a show out of the gate before they even know if it will be well received. Streaming services need content. If the show sucks, drive hateclicks and fan agitation. Whatever gets D+ sign-ups. That's why content from the usual CZcams sources ISN'T good for actual fans of the IP. Only complete apathy will serve that.
They'll never do it because it'd rob them of a lot of cheap view numbers of people accidentally staying on the BBC a few seconds too long, but there really should be a requirement of at-minimum 60% of an episode watched before a view counts.
i predict a 1.85 for the first episode of the next season.
2.02. it will never drop below 2 for the simple reason that there are many TVs switched on but no-one actually watching (with the sound turned down in a lot of cases).
@@cbnewham5633
Oh Believe me.
it will.
Davies new exactly what he was doing. He took a FAMILY show and tried to twist it into something it is not,,,
Basically 'Glee in space'.
It failed spectacularly, and i cant help but wonder what going to happen to the remaining 8 episodes already filmed. ( Because there is no way anyone will want to screen them, be it Disney or the BBC ).
Released in a big bunch on the quiet, perhaps.
It maybe put on BBC3 / iPlayer online with no publicity.
My parents set the episode to record while they watched a movie. I asked my dad why they weren’t watching it, he said it was taping, i said “I’m surprised you’re still interested after last weeks episode” he said “eh, I’ll give it a shot” I honestly don’t think he cares tbh, he’s in his 60s so…probably beyond the point of caring.
Visited my elderly parents yesterday. Dad was reading the paper, Mum was playing her farming game on the Ipad. TV was playing to itself on the Guide screen, but I noticed in the small screen Dr Who was playing. I thought to myself, 'I hope that isn't counted as a view'.
Checking to see if the overnights were sub 2 million... so close!
The scissor of one, the scissor of two, the scissor of many😂😂😂
I said it would drop below 2 Mill if the quality didn't improve from the first two (I turned off half way through the risible Devils Chord). Its so much worse than even Chinballs absurd Whittaker run, which I thought was impossible. RTD seems to have come back just to kill the show. Disney continue to kill franchise after franchise.
The BBC will replace the Cybermen in the new Dr Who, with Cyberwomen. Are the BBC talking Daleks or just another form of AI?
Remember we still have another season of this woke nonsense since Disney gave them that much money. If they are refusing to give us the numbers just tells how bad the ratings are. What's that magical saying, o thats right...GET WOKE GO BROKE!!!! What did you think was going to happen when you went full propaganda mode
The viewing figures may well rise because people are watching the football, they may forget to switch over
It's turned non footballing people into avid supporters. I suffer from hay fever but I now touch grass !!!!
Dr who killed by feminism id politics and bum funnery
Doctor Who has since become a shadow of its former self... and selves. Many thanks to RTD, the BBC, and Disney for making it all possible.
What you seem to not mention
Is despite the low viewing figures on the overnights
It’s still been consistently top 5 for the day it’s released
And most of the episodes have been the top show for that day for the BBC itself (I say most because I stopped checking after episode 5)
It sort of shows the state of tv in amongst itself
I’d say the low iPlayer views are probably more problematic than the overnights
If anyone suggested making a Sherlock Holmes series but the main character was blatantly gay it would come as absolutely no surprise there would be no appetite for it. Dr Who and Holmes are very similar characters in a lot of ways. The intellect of the main characters is what drives the story, not who they shag. If they can find a show runner who can get his mind out of the gutter and drag the show out of it too it might just survive but if they carry on like this it will be many a long year if ever until it's resurrected.
People involved with the show suggested those who are not interested in what they're peddling should go find some touchable grass.
Looks like they did.
GG Russell. You played yourself.
SUTEKH RETURNS would have pulled in classic Doctor Who fans for the season finally IF they didn't slap the classic who fans with that "go touch grass" pissy attitude . . .
To those who were being racist, if you were one of those people who took offence to that then you apart of that group
@DoctorWhoManiaProductions2 The series is utter garbage, and raising the 'racism' card is not going to change it. Also, wokes tend to be the most vile racistas of all.
@DoctorWhoManiaProductions23 would you give it a rest trolling. We get it you love this series but the majority of people don't and it's not because the actor playing the Doctor is black
@@DoctorWhoManiaProductions23 just for the record, I'm mix having a father that is as dark as you can get and a mother with red hair and freckles... RTD attack classic fans inciting "classic who fans are going to be really offended with season 1", then spued out rubbish that if you don't this season that you are a hater and fearful of the actors heritage and/or sexuality preferences. . . clearly RTD was more interested in getting social media controversial debate on fire with finger pointing and undue emotional reaction than vibeing with the entire fanbase. THAT'S why he lost viewership to this franchise; he invited this stupid debate tossing down the racist and phobic cards when focus of the show was placed in the back seat.
It needs resting for ten years. All this woke stuff is for the minority. Us normal people hate it
Just let me be the showrunner and ill make it make sense in about 10 minutes. And then move forward with the show from the mess it is now.
1; Have CAL in the library be Clara the 1st NEW Doctor for the new (Doomsday/Big Bang) Whoniverse
2; Have PC become "Doctor Moon" = Rest after series 9 are not canon and only an Matrix simulation)
3; Have River Songs death become a brand new timemachine "RIVERS".
4; Have our Doctor accept hes no longer the DOctor and instead the Caretaker/Curator President over our mankind as both he & CAL Saves everyone as everyone dies thruout history
5; Have the Master race be those first saved to a harddrive (as the Master had to build a hardrive to store all of our living minds in End of time to be able to control us all) and as teh MAster race died (as it turned back to us) be saved to that harddrive = We would have a large number of blank multiform basestations Our President could make so everyone got the chance to a 2nd life being uploaded into the Blank multiform basestations.....
=
All of current New WHo would be the "Dark times" of our mankind as we becomes the rulers over time inside the new Whoniverse...
6; Have the former rulers over time (the TImelords) Become split up at the end of the timewar as Gallifrey got burnt by the dying Jon SImms Master in the same moment it was frozen in that moment..
=
1 faction would be fully ascended (Those at the Gallifreyan high counsil) (using the Moment (to basicly become the new Whoniverse KEY to time
and 1 faction would be trapped quantumlocked both being dead/ascended and alive at the same time
and have those two factions fight against each other as 1 guard thier fate and the other does everything it can to prevent thier fate....
= We would have a GREAT set up for plenty of adventures as the long way home to the burnt/terraformed former Gallifrey is filled with "problems to over come" as our former Doctor
becoems what Rassilon was for the TImelords (in the classic Whoniverse) = the show basicly moves toward completing the full arc story of slowly returning to the state the show began with in 1963....
I'm a die hard Dr Who enthusiast since the early days. What's on TV now is not Dr Who. It's even worse than the third rate comedians the put on the show over the last few years. There might be a time and place for what they're showing now. But Dr Who it isn't.
I loved Doctor Who and have watched every episode until Xmas 2023, when I watched 2 of the 3 and said enough is enough. Effectively it has ended for me so all these new propaganda episodes are no longer the same series. It's sad to see a iconic TV programme hijacked like this, and the only reason I can see is The BBC and RTD just want to push an agenda of anything goes it's not just gay it's purvey and they want to peddle this content just like an illegal substance dealer in an ice cream van would, with no thought of the consequences. The mental health of people who were influenced by things like this will be mind boggling in the future when people will start regretting their past life choices may be even irreversible alterations, then what happens?
I'm doing my part for Doctor Who by not watching it. I only watch 20th century Doctor Who.
So you dislike the entirety of new who?
@@somerandomyoutubeaccount5895 Modern Who started out so well and had some classic episodes, but knowing where it went I just can't watch any more.
@@BrassChuckles I think the newer season is honestly an improvement over the 13th Doctor era but I’m not gonna say it’s flawless, it’s just the right step onto a better path.
I've thoroughly enjoyed tuning in every Sunday afternoon to hear 'Mr H Reviews' revealing the latest 'Who' ratings. It has become part of my Sunday ritual (much like reading the Sunday papers in days of yore. I particularly like the fact he reveals the ratings slowly, adding to the anticipation. My family gives a whoop of joy every time the ratings drop. Thank you 'Mr H Reviews ' for framing our schadenfreude in such an enjoyable format!!!
What you get when you tell fans like it or go away. I call it the Disney affect. Disney acolyte started threatening fans with labeling the bigots and racist if they don't like the show...they now wonder why there's so much hate for it
Better story but full to the brim of strong women and a certain ethnic group. A couple of other boxes very obviously ticked as well! None of which would be noticed if it hadn't been shovelled down our throats which so relentlessly for so long. I have been made to notice certain things and cannot now unsee them!
It's sinking as fast as the Titanic! Goodbye Dr Hoe you will not be missed.
Broadcasting another season after this load of wank is like the Titanic backing up and taking another run at the iceberg.
The difference being nobody will be interested in the Doctor Who wreck.
The next season of Dr. Who Cares Anymore will be similar to the Titanic striking the iceberg, then backing up to take another run at it.
Sutekh:
“I bring Sutekh’s gift of death to DW ratings!”
He was a great one-shot villain, too. Makes me wonder what RTD will do to him to balls him up.
The BBC win an award for sound financial planning.
I just chucked those numbers into a spreadsheet to check week 4 - all of the extra views came in on the live broadcast. The weekly and 4-screen numbers were the same as before, so it's all down to the footy.
I'm old enough to have watched the very first episode on the BBC when I used to live in Scotland and was obsessed with Doctor Who. I started to lose my passion during the Matt Smith era, then gave up on most of the series when they introduced Missy, and only tuned in occasionally for two or three stories per season, because there was none of the old magic.
I completely bypassed the Jodie era for many reasons, the main one being I can't stand her!
I watched the 3 Doctor\Donna specials, hated the first two for their 'messaging'. I liked most of The Giggle apart from the silly cop-out at the end with the ball game. I then decided to watch The Church On Ruby Rose and found absolutely nothing in it that looked like Doctor Who.
I bypassed all the others to follow because they had nothing in common with Doctor Who and knew from others who did watch that it was full of LGBT propaganda. It also seemed to me that Davies was trying to appeal only to the gay and bi audience with his choice of stories? I did, however, watch this one because ppl were being so positive about it, and found it to be a brilliant episode, up there with the ones from its heyday with David Tennent (but it won't make me watch the previous episodes!). This was the type of story he should have been telling months earlier, as it has none of the messaging in it, and is back to what NuWho did best!
The sad fact of the matter however, is that due to what we have had to endure for all these years means that no matter how great this story is, no one will be watching it and the series will eventually die!
I just wish they were a bit more rigorous with the casting choices.. It's all very well having a varied cast but when meritocracy goes out of the window and you employ someone who ticks a box but can't act for toffee it doesn't half show. Then we're not allowed to be critical for fear of being called intolerant or, told to go and touch grass. No wonder people don't bother watching.
Recently been watching the Tom Baker and Peter Davison episodes. Let's say that Adric doesn't seem half as annoying as he used to.
i dont think they'll tell us if it goes below 2 million , their egos wont let them
Cancellation is without a single doubt going to happen,it's only a matter of time when.Then it should reappear a few years later with a Christmas special with a new Doctor and new writer as RTD's day of writing anything of interest and not agenda ridden is long gone.
I love the stolen thumbnail from WhoCulture. Totally didn't just copy and paste and put ugly font all over it lol
Bbc have said there not cancelling the show
They might not, but Disney might just take their money and leave.
Yeah good luck financing a show nobody is watching.
The BBC always doubles down when it comes to the message because they can afford to thanks to the TV tax. Any profit motivated business would have looked at the shambles that was Jodie Whittaker and returned to something that was more universally beloved like the Matt Smith era. But nah... the BBC ain't about that life.
@@Erikjust they will just jack up the tv license fee.
I know the bbc love pissing joe publics money away but Disney money must have come with conditions I don’t see how they can keep giving a Saturday prime time tv slot to a failing tv series if it dips under a million they might move it to Sunday well get at least the next series but if this gets a third series I’ll be surprised
@@neilyb4590 Also if the rumors are true Disney isn´t exactly raking in the dough.
They have had ALOT of flops recently and their stock fell bellow 100$.
I don´t think they will be able to afford continuously financing shows that doesn´t pull in the viewers.
We saw what they did with Willow, they might do the same here.
Go for as long as their contract obligates them to and then just pull the plug and leave.
Sure Amazon or Netflix might take over.
But amazon already got one heck of a gut punch with Rings of Power, i don´t think they want Doctor Who anywhere near them.
At least not unless BBC sweetens the deal with "Yeah you are getting all episodes of New Who but also every episode of classic Who."
Sure then they might say "Okay we´ll finance you for a season or two."
Netflix... i don´t think they want ANYTHING to do with Doctor Who.
Guaranteed they'll say fans are just waiting to see it in the cinemas.
LOL, RTD is now talking about the 28 day numbers are hitting their marks with the 30 and under crowds. 😂
Doctor Who used to get between 6m to 10m. If it got only 6m it was poor.
Now it goes to CW levels...
@@Raximus3000 I used to refer to the CW as "Commercial World" because of the huge number of commercials in each show. And, even with all those commercials, they STILL managed to lose money.
Hopefully they cancel this shit. But I bet they won’t, they’ll continue to lose money in service to “the precious”.
I would say with Disney, continuing to lose money is seemingly mandatory in the agenda textbook.
