BBC Doctor Who branded 'woke' and 'unwatchable' as TV ratings plummet following return to screens.

[Jeanluc]

As someone who has been watching Dr Who for enough years that I used to hide behind the sofa whenever the Cybermen came on, I actually think Ncuti Gatwa is already one of my favourite Doctors. Key is the chemistry between him and his sidekick and in this regard, I rate Millie Gibson highly too. Which just goes to show (as if you didin't know) that you can't please all the people all the time. And as long as I am enjoying the latest series I couldn't give a rat's a**e what anyine else thinks

[Long slender neck]

Go woke go broke.

Cant Dr Woke just time travel and get some more money though?

[Hoover Attack]

My kids are big fans

That's cool.

Go woke go broke.

Or go to a time when all the bigots have died out?

To this day i still have nightmares about the Ice Warriors.

Anybody else psychologically scarred by Dr Who characters? I'm thinking about setting up a support group and possibly suing the BBC.

[Dunners]

If kids like it, then that's all that matters really. As I said, the only reason I ever watched it was because it was something I could watch with my kids when they were younger. I never actually watched it myself when I was a kid.

The people banging on about Dr Who being ruined by woke do not watch it anyway. So they're no loss. As RTW said, all shows are losing viewers, but mainly because people simply do not watch television like they used to.

Not a nightmare as such, but I keep thinking back to an early Tenant-era episode call Love & Monsters from 2006. It featured a monster called the Abzorbaloff, played by Peter Kay, that absorbed people it came into contact with (see below).



Anyway, what I keep thinking about is something that is implied between the two characters, Elton and Ursula, who share a romantic interest with each other. Unfortunately, their romance is cut short when Ursula is absorbed into the Abzorbaloff. However, following some doctoring shenanigans and the defeat of the Abzorbaloff, Ursula ends up being absorbed into a paving slab (see below).



But, what really gets me is this - It is implied that Elton and paving slab Ursula manage to maintain their romance and even find a way of creatively exploring an active sex life. A bloke and a paving slab with a face on it. No further explanation is offered as to just how these two characters manage this, but it does make the mind wonder.

[Dunners]

Here it is:

Elton: "We even have a bit of a love life"
Ursula: "Oh, let's not go into that...."

I mean, come on! We need to know how.

“Doctor Who has never been for straight white men!”*

*apart from that time we joked about a man face f*cking a paving slab with a woman’s face

[Orient_Man_And_Boy]

Dunners: your first picture reminds me of a visiting fan about 25/6 years back … Scunnie I think. No matter the temperature the (large white bloke) stood stripped to the waist.

You sure that's a woman's faced affixed to the paving stone? Is Dunners just stirring it, again?

[CEB]

It’s Shirley Henderson

Gotta hand it to Sid here - he's managed to hook some responses to his daily cut and paste efforts for once.

[LeighO]

Whats wrong with drag characters \ actors?

They are a tiny minority group who are not representative and receive too much air time and attention. Other than that , you can’t beat em

Much like Reform UK

Who said anything about face f*cking? There could be a manhole on the back of the slab.

Not posting daily at all.
I dont post on here that much, just when and if I see news items that catch my eye. For the last couple of months I have been getting over a major operation that left me in an exhausted state with much pain

[CEB]

Did the operation succeed in making Doctor Who be for you again?

Have no issue with an ethnic Doctor or a bloke in drag playing the villain. Just thought the episode was a load of cobblers pretty much in line with RTD's writing generally chok full of wokery.The first episode was just saying that everyone should be kind to migrants. Can't we just have an episode that isn't trying to preach some moral message.

The best episode of the second coming was Blink which was in Tennant's reign introducing the weeping angels.

David Tennant was brilliant as Dr Who.
Since his time it has gone downhill ever faster.

He was IMO one of the best Dr Who's, great actor who played many tv and radio roles.

Then we are agreed. I thought his playing of Wurzel Gummidge was a total one off success. Nobody else could have delivered those lines like him.

As a kid, I well remember listening to him playing the role of Chief Petty Officer Pertwee in The Navy Lark on BBC Radio.
In the late 1950s to the early 1970s we nearly always had the radio on as we sat down as a family and ate our evening meal. Amongst the many comedy radio programmes we listened to were Hancocks half hour and Round the Horne !! Kenneth Williams was a firm favourite on so many radio comedy shows of those long ago times.

Interesting footnote.....''Apparently Pertwee did not appear in the 1959 film version of The Navy Lark. In his 1996 memoir he attributed this to producer Herbert Wilcox refusing to employ his co-star Dennis Price on the grounds that "he was gay", a decision Pertwee made clear that he thought "was ridiculous". Shortly after voicing his support of Price he found out he had been dropped from the film's cast and replaced by Ronald Shiner !!

absolute garbage !!!

I really should know better, but this porn parody is actually quite funny. You'll need to click through to YouTube to watch it (don't worry, all the naughty bits are cut out, so it's perfectly safe for "work"):
