Did you know that most of the most popular classic doctors mannerisms and personality come from the mannerisms of the actor Tom Baker. It's the same for a lot of the doctors. So the tom baker doctor was (as you said) playing himself in a different outfit. Didn't affect the quality of his acting and his era though.

[@justinwebber9968]

As a gay man, I've always found people like Gatwa offensive. He's a caricature; he acts that way because it gets him attention, and some find it endearing. But most gay people are just normal, chill guys who don't constantly need to be the center of attention.

Unfortunately, gay men are always portrayed as divas and that just isn’t true. The main issue I have is that they’re using social and political agendas to form their storylines. Honestly I don’t really care if the Dr is male, female or whatever, but just give us good storylines and plots! I stopped watching dr who about 8 years ago because the storyline was just plain boring

In 1963 my Dad and I sat on the couch and watched the very first episode of Dr Who. I was 6 years old and was in awe of what I watched,it became a ritual for us. This is totally unacceptable - you want to mess with things mess with them,but leave Dr Who alone. The whole point of the Dr is he is compassion,courage, innocence and wisdom rolled up in a neat package - in our fantasies he's saved us from Daleks, Cybermen, Silurians, The Master, Weeping Angels,Davros,The Silence,Zygons,Ice Warriors,Sontarans - there are so many I can't remember them all. I'm heartbroken at this tomfoolery - yet another beloved character has been dismantled and destroyed in the name of DEI and political correctness. The Beeb should be ashamed to let this happen,I'm going to go out and get every damn OLD episode on DVD there is and then never watch a new episode again. If every fan did that the whole thing will collapse but at least our precious memories of the Doctor won't be sullied.

Unfortunately, the BBC are funded by a compulsory TV licence fee (currently £169.50 per year) that anyone with a TV in the UK must pay. So, BBC funded shows, such as Doctor Woke, can continue to promote "The Message" even if the show loses the majority of its viewers. This also explains why the writers and actors feel free to hector, berate and chastise the remaining viewers for being gammons, while promoting their peculiar forms of degeneracy to younger, more malleable minds. Personally, I haven't watched Dr Who since the great Tom Baker played the lead role, but I still have nightmares about The Brain of Morbius.

[@whysa4]

I agree with the broad thrust of your argument , but must just point out you are not quite right about the TV licence , it no longer applies just for owning a TV anymore that went out some years ago. It is for watching the Iplayer or watching/ recording any live TV channel even overseas channels on any device. So basically you could have TV in every room in your house and be legally licence free as long as you only watch streaming on demand content from the likes of ITVX, 4 on demand or paid for streaming services such as Amazon, Netflix etc as long as you don't watch any live services, ie TV that at the same time is also being broadcast over the air to the massess . Sorry perhaps you already know , but many still pay the licence in ignorance of the rule change and the BBC /TV licencing deliberately try and confuse what you can and can't do

[@leesigalaxy]

I think the most infuriating thing about it is that they act like we can't be real fans if we don't like their changes. I don't care about inclusivity, it's fine, I don't find it off-putting. It's the way they're going about it that rubs me the wrong way. They talk down to us like we're stupid little infants who couldn't possibly comprehend the GENIUS of their storylines when said storylines are as elementary as they come, so much so that it's insulting. No one (no one who is worth listening to, anyway) is arguing against racism being bad, or sexism, or pollution. We all know these are issues plaguing our society-we don't need reminded of them constantly to remember that they're bad. The problem is that subtly is dead-the most masterful of writers can weave real world issues into stories without the readers/viewers even realizing it, unless it speaks to them directly (or the viewer is just particularly philosophical). The beauty of such subtlety is how your fans will debate its meaning for YEARS to come, a lost art that seems impossible to find these days. As for sexuality in Doctor Who as a whole, I think any true Doctor Who fan has always, ALWAYS known or at least assumed that The Doctor is not simply straight. This isn't a NuWho thing either, I remember reading something about the Eighth Doctor being in relationships with men, or at least one of them being considered 'more than a friend'. And Jack Harkness was very openly pansexual and no one batted an eye! Even the older fans who have stuck around longer than I have even been ALIVE. So for Ncuti Gatwa to flat out say that we're not real fans after EVERYTHING we have seen and accepted, even LIKED up until now is frankly spite masquerading as moral superiority. I think that Ncuti Gatwa has probably received a lot of hateful comments his whole life and I hate that for him, but in my opinion, it seems to have turned him bitter and jaded, so he lashes out. This causes others to see his behavior and continue to speak badly of him. It's an ouroboros, a never-ending cycle of perpetual, mutual hate that would take forgiveness to put an end to. This is precisely the kind of forgiveness that The Doctor used to champion-to be kind, to break the cycle, to choose to forgive instead of using what was done to you as an excuse to be crueler to those who were cruel to you. These are the lessons that have been lost to NuWho. Gone is the kindness and compassion. Now, we mock our enemies, we hurt them and berate them and tear them down because they deserve it, right? Because we hate them, right? I don't know. It's sad what's happened to Doctor Who. I was 15 when I first started watching Doctor Who in 2011, and it taught me a lot of important lessons that have framed my perspective of the world. The nuance and gentleness of someone who has done terrible things and is instead choosing to be better now is gone with the newer episodes. It's disappointing, and the fact that David Tennant and Catherine Tate read the script and went ahead with it unflinchingly is also a let down. I would have thought they would see how far it was from what used to make Doctor Who great and would say something, or at least TRY and advocate for a change in the script, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Anyway, I have a lot of thoughts on this, I could write all day about it, but in the end, nothing I say will change what is happening to the show. Rest in Peace, Doctor Who, I wish we could have done something to save you from this fate. 😔

But I never thought it could get even worse. Till Gatwa and RTD the 2nd. A big part of the problem is the BBC. And its woke agenda. This time they have let Russell off his leash, out of his sex dungeon and he has gone fully gay warrior with the series. I was upset at how bad the Whitaker era was, now I am just numb.

Not to hijack the role and damage the persona. The BBC should have watched the series, and the decided to write off the episodes. Locating all copies and permanently deleting them.
