Also RTD stated last year that "Doctor Who was always Queer", when we all know it was a children's show and the Doctor was essentially asexual. That why everyone could project what they wanted onto him! It was RTD himself who created the relationship between Rose and the 10th Doctor. The Doctor's relationship with his companions was essentially paternal or avuncular; in the case of the First Doctor he was literally a grandfather!

@@Old_Scot In "The Aztecs", the First Doctor playfully flirted with an attractive Aztec woman and accidentally became engaged to her when he served her hot chocolate, which was apparently an obscure Aztec courtship ritual. There was a certain unstated attraction between the Third Doctor and Jo Grant. Her last episode, "The Green Death", made it clear that he thought of her as more than just a friend. There was a romantic undertone between the Fourth Doctor and Romana II, which was most likely the real life romance between Tom Baker and Lala Ward coming through in their characters. So even in the classic series, while the Doctor was largely disinterested in the fairer sex, he was not wholly disinterested, and not once did he show even a passing romantic interest in a person of the same sex. So contrary to Davies' proclamation, the Doctor was never queer.

@@Durwood71 Your examples are correct and IIRC the granddaughter was left to find love with a human after a cyberman invasion. Personally, I prefer the position that the doctor may look human to us, but is not even close to it. Asexual in the human sense of not being interested in sex isn't right. It is more of a not even the same species (man looking at a chimp) or the great age (looking on a small child). One could observe behaviors, and mimic them for influence or blending in but engaging further is disinterest to repulsive.

This was the return of Tenant for pities sake! And he didn't miss by small margins, End of Time, flat 10 million, Waters of Mars 9 million, Planet of the Dead, 8.4 million, The Snowmen 7.6 million (all figures were the non-consolidated).

@thepenguinpalpatine4887 Well, I took the unconsolidated figures as those were all that was out for the most recent episode, if you want to take the consolidated into account then up the figures above go up to between 10 and 13 million so at 7 it's still well short of where a show in it's position should be (and there is the issue Nerdrotic menrioned with those figures that a 1 minute view on iplayer still counts) I do agree it's no an ideal method, but the figures taken are for on the day views in both cases, situations are comparable to the first Doctor Who special as the show had been away on hiatus for a period of time, honestly following the not great 1996 movie the situations are very comparable, if anything this is more favourable with retuning favourite cast and a shorter break. As for the change in viewing habits, that needs citation, Iplayers existed since 2007 and although KZbin has risen as a primary competitor TV as has streaming, people will make the effort to specificallt tune in for a show IF they are intrested. The Major change between 2009 and now really is On demand recording and +1 viewing, with things like Sky which honestly I assumed was included in those figures. General viewing trends should be less of an issue with these sorts of Specials, if you want to see something you'll make time or record it (I can only speak personally but I avoid Iplayer where I can as it's a pain in the ass to use so would Ondemand record a show I wanted to see but couldn't watch at the time) but even the 7 million figure is down on even the low end of the day 1 figures of precious specials and far below there consolidated, thats far more indicative of a apathetic, unintrested audience who dont value of the IP enough to make time to watch it than any particular change in viewing habits.

@@maddlarkin all well said, what I would also have to bring up is that its quite unfair to compare these specials to past xmas specials and season 4. Of course the show was never going to go back to its popularity in season 4 and the oncoming specials, I doubt it ever will. Excluding that peak of popularity, most seasons were in the range of 7-8 million viewers, with capaldi going below this in two of his series. With this context, the specials come across as far more of a success. With all 3 maintaining about 7-8 million overall viewers, the viewing figures are all relatively similar to seasons 1-3 and 6-10, which imo should be considered. The absolute outliers are the xmas specials, wether they were good or bad, generally because viewing figures on all channels tend to be at a peak around that time, It will definitely be interesting to see how ncutis xmas special pans out. Generally as well casual TV audiences are just no longer in a lot of these figures due to the sheer amount of choice and the coming of streaming and various other platforms. Going back to RTD1 many viewers would simply be flicking around channels is a way to put it i guess. Less choice inevitably means youll have a greater share of general audiences. Sure the same can be said for strictly come dancing which is what dr who is being compared to which regularly had 10-14 million viewers, something that is unheard of now. I would consider the new specials to be a success because although ive seen many people in these comments in particular, probably just due to having similar takes to those in the video which of course they are perfectly entitled to, the general fandom seems to be satisfied with how the specials panned out, even though the star beast was a rocky but still fun start, which is what needed to happen and it achieved it. Its laid the groundwork for the show to become more relevant again. Even now, its the most ive seen the show being discussed since Matt Smith ended so in that regard it has to be considered successful. I apologise for being slightly incoherent at times here I can definitely see that, I havent gone back to edit most of this, but the figures are used were researched.

I was a kid when watching B5 and still rewatch it often, same with SG-1 and I introduced my then GF and eventual wife to NuWho and that led to my kids viewing it with us too, as a family.

Gay slash fiction seems to be a fixture in just about *all* fandoms. Fanfic writers were shipping Kirk and Spock in the 70s, and probably earlier than that. Hell, even the "My Little Pony" fandom is full of gay and (mostly) lesbian slash fiction. I'm convinced that part of it, aside from the fact that a lot of these fanfic-ers have "issues", is just sheer laziness. They lack the creativity to come up with a credible and well-developed OC (original character) who could serve as one of the canon characters' love interest, so they fall back on taking two canon characters and mangling them to fit their story instead of writing a story that fits the established characters.

There's lots Dr Who writers could have done with Isaac Newton, he was a scientist but also into alchemy, astrology and supposedly created the Freemasons. He could have been a batshit crazy foil to the Dr.

To top it off it was Tom Baker’s Doctor that established that he and Old Issac were friends. And that it was the Doctor who climbed up the tree and dropped the apple on Issac Newton’s head.

I have a theory that they only put this scene into the the beginning of the episode because this story only features 5 other Characters outside of Newton (those being the Doctor, Donna, Wilfred and the 2 entities that look like The Doctor and Donna) that are all white so there is no diversity in the episode and they needed a black character. Becaue of this they shoe-horned this scene in to the begining so they could insert a diverse character in order to meet their quotas.

Yes, and the other reason this first scene was included, was so that they could later have the Dr agree he was hot, therefore foreshadowing the next Dr's personality. Trying to sugar coat it in advance, to make it more palatable to fans.

I belatedly recognized the Isaac Newton actor- he has the distinction of being in one of the worst shows of last year, Witcher Blood Origin. He played Eredin's random boyfriend- so that's twice now his character has caused a previously non-gay character to be gay, lol. (Also, for someone that's supposed to be SO hot, they should've gotten a better looking actor, just saying). Re "showing history as we wish it was"- one would think that could entail giving a spotlight to previously neglected Indian or black scientists rather than a raceswap- but I guess not, heh.

I love the people who say "This is just a silly little show, it's not supposed to be reality". Conveniently, forgetting that the original point of "Doctor Who" was to teach kids history and science. That is why the first two companions were a history teacher and a science teacher and why the serials were, one time historical and the next science fiction with a base of actual science (like the first Dalek serial where they talk about how they move around like dodge cars and use that knowledge to escape their cell).
@wewhofly10 ай бұрын
I don't know. I never watched Doctor Who for its 'history' or its 'science'. I just wanted adventure. If I wanted science, I read encyclopedias and watched documentaries or Blue Peter etc. If I wanted history, I watched movies. Don't over sell it. Dr Who was monsters and the fun of being scared with a strong father-like figure (the Doctor) there to make everything right in the end. If anything, that would be the biggest criticism. Dr Who has lost touch with the brief to simply entertain - children most especially, and has chosen instead to be politically propagandist.

@@wewhofly Well, it DID get away from that but that was the original intent. Even when they stopped doing 'pure historicals' and stopping being about teaching history they attempted to be accurate (as much as possible) when presenting the past and they certainly would never have gone out of their way to cast an actor who was nothing like a historical figure to play that figure. That is just dumb.

Spot on. The first episode with Eccleston was offensive tosh throughout socially, but good in terms of taking Doctor Who seriously, casting, fx, production values et cetera. RTD is a gay man who is not immune to having prejudices of his own. We all do. The difference is he cannot stop himself 'righting those wrongs' or lecturing the audience and it is far less subtle now than in 2005.

Bingo! The Master becoming female was just a stepping stone to the Doctor becoming female which was something they talked about doing for DECADES. They were testing the water & because it was reasonably well-received, mostly due to the MiChElLe GoMeZ wAs AmAzInG zombies accepting anything thrown at them, The Doctor becoming female was given the green light. I REALLY don't understand how nobody realised & STILL don't realise this. DW started becoming a woke mess during Capaldi's era, not after it, which is a shame because I had been quite looking forward to The Doctor being older than me once more. I swore 30 odd years ago that if The Doctor were to ever become female I'd quit watching it, but I ended up tuning out before then because I could SEE it coming after The Master had a sex change.
