"It's Disappeared Down A WOKE Rabbit Hole!" - TV Critic BLASTS Doctor Who

Talk’s Kevin O’Sullivan is joined by TV critic Ally Ross who analyses the loss of viewership at the beginning of Ncuti Gatwa’s tenure as The Doctor.
An opinion reporter for Metro UK has sparked outrage after writing a piece called ‘Sorry straight white men, Doctor Who was never made just for you’.
The writer goes on to say that not everyone is enjoying a ‘boldly queer’, Black Doctor Who.
A group of outspoken individuals on social media, commonly referred to as keyboard warriors, expressed their discontent by asserting that the show had become excessively "woke."

It's true they're so hopelessly woke they fail to even see that this stuff has been done before already in Hollywood, everytime they push woke ideology into these beloved Franchises; they get destroyed. Davis doesn't even realize or is aware that Star trek is a failed franchise. Starwars has been destroyed, the terminator with "woke fate", Marvel's MCU has been turned into the "MSheU" that's hit rock bottom. Lotr has been destroyed with that Rings of power crap. Even the video-game industry has become saturated with all this woke agenda. And now recently the "Indiana Jones" franchise got nuked with that 5th movie which completely flopped hard. Davis doesn't seem to be aware of any of this, which is probably why he must think his new woke Doctor Who is gonna be a massive hit with the young generation.

Whats interesting here is that i remember years ago Hollywood made a "ALL FEMALE Ghostbusters" reboot movie, and this upset those fans because they wanted the original GB characters back. Basically all the Intersectional Feminists attacked the fans calling them sexist bigots for not liking thier new all-female GB team and told the Ghostbusters Fans to basically "don't watch it then" and just go away. I remember this well it was in 2016 because after that, all this "woke" ideology came flooding into everything. But when the GB fans were told not to watch the SJW Feminist's all female ghostbusters, those fans just walked away and didn't watch that 2016 movie; in the end that movie bombed at the box-office and the Sony studio ended up scrapping any sequels to that movie.

This is why I don't pay for a TV licence.

[@caltriton6904]

Why dont they make new woke shows instead of ruining our classics? Doctor Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings. Leave them alone.

[@QueenBabylonnia]

Because they cannot come up with a decent idea, so they infiltrate garbage into to original classic good family TV.

[@BetamaxV]

Dr who ended during Peter Capaldis run. shame because he was actually really good as the Doctor, it was the writing that sucked. And now it's just unwatchable.

[@greatlambrini8722]

So, whenever I look at an old series on tv, i always say that if this were filmed today, the main character would be black. Downton Abbey now a black family. Dixon of Dock Green is now black. This has made racists of us.

[@GingerPeacenik]

I miss the 9th, tenth, and eleventh doctors, back in the days where plot lines and character development were prioritized over personal agendas.

*Should children under nine years old, be exposed to Doctor Who?*

[@erikahahn5823]

No

[@Madonnalitta1]

No one should these days. I'd rather have eyeball surgery.

[@simeonyves5940]

Classic 1963-1989 Doctor Who, Yes. Modern professor woke, most Certainly Not!

[@mdtmdt1972]

Was a fan, 5 minutes was enough for me! I enjoy mowing the lawn more than watching that rubbish.

[@jexxajess6837]

Agree, that Israeli girl is a shinning star, such bravery. Hope she goes a long way..

[@alphabetaxenonzzzcat]

It went bad when they turned the Doctor into a woman - there was no precedent for that in the show's past. It's a complete sham these days.

[@tanfosbery1153]

But the rot set in with Capalldi

[@susanplatt5331]

The Dr is an alien that doesn't die, they regenerate. What precedent did there need to be that meant it had to be male. Get over yourself. The original series had lgbtq characters too.

[@SteveODonnell]

Matt Smiths doctor even mentioned another timelord being a woman a couple of times.the show has always been progressive. You just never noticed because you weren't told it was woke as that wasn't a word used by idiots back then. Race and inclusively has always been part of the show.

[@alphabetaxenonzzzcat]

@@tanfosbery1153 Yeah - I tend agree. You had good actor playing the Doctor - but really poor storylines.

[@johnhoran9840]

@@SteveODonnell Woke is about as old as my bum ankle, so just stop.

Proper dr who ended with the Paul mcgann mini episode in 2013.

NEVER WATCH THAT SH!T ANYWAY.

[@robinburn4974]

Doctor What !!!

[@Benjiesbeenbetter.]

Even the blessed David Tennant, adored and honoured by starry-eyed fans, said, "f*** off if you don't like it". Hmmm, where'd you be now, Mr T if it weren't fir the fans you're telling to f*** off. Still playing ludicrous serial killers in The Bill?

[@witterth]

never mind the woke stuff, NEVER NEVER fu*k with The Beatles that is the biggest crime on telly ever.

[@HarryFlashmanVC]

It never occured to Davis that taking Davros out of a wheelchair was deeply insulting to those who are wheelchair bound. Hes a patronising bell end.

[@MarkARhodie]

The talking babies, were creepy.

[@That_Random_Bloke]

The episodes were ok, but one of them ended with a bloody dance routine. It was painful.

[@rubitbetter]

"Nurse What" has killed Dr Who..."I'm Them" bloke in a frock 😂

[@shaunjp2211]

Wokeism has ruined Doctor who and just when you think it couldn't get worse Russell T Davis returns and turns the show excuse the pune so its about a gay black person and not a quirky time lord.

[@carolevans1850]

Woman's Hour went this way long, long ago.

[@MarianneCasey-mt6pw]

No more Dr Who in this household, to woke for us .

[@eyybabyj1397]

Every episodes 'story' is written around some political message. They actually made an episode about immigration and pro choice abortion.... We just want to see an fking dalek

[@Dragonblaster1]

So when I thought the original Davros was sheer evil, I was supposed to think the same of all handicapped people? I see people as people, not a laundry list of demographic identity groupls.

why do they do this to films,shows ,etc are they mental ,no one will watch , waste of people licence money, i just hope the day will come when this crap stops

[@ianhill4585]

Are we destined to get an episode thst doesn't involve singing and dancing, with characters that remind me of Ethel Mermann?

[@whiskeygamer9402]

Matt Smith era was the Last doctor who I watched and I still have some of the old Doctor who seasons on DVD 👍🏽🥃

[@azzajames7661]

Dr who is the very worst,....SO FAR, which is very scary😤

[@gdr1174]

BBC and Disney have given RT Davies a free pass to completely indulge himself and to hell with the viewers.. they always refer to this mythical 'modern audience' that doesn't exist in the numbers they need to make these vehicles for propaganda financially successful..

[@benny210169]

Trying to shoehorn human silliness into a Gallifreyan will never work.

[@zmadhatter2340]

Great idea, making the creator of the Daleks look less like a Dalek…

I love DW. I'm gay, my wife's gay and so is our boyfriend Julie. My Cat thinks it's a Dog and next door's Dog accepts us all the way we feel and when DW comes on, we all sit on the Sofa and feel the warm glow of the Heart of the TARDIS-together. Thanks RTD for helping us embrace ourselves and each other. Toodles!!
