Who actually watches Doctor who? 09:22 - Jun 1 with 7576 viewsMaccaisgod

I've never watched it in my life and having asked many people fromdifferent walks of life, black and white rich and poor, nobody watches it.
I do not understand how it survives??
Do you watch the rubbish?

I think he means he doesn't like that The Doctor is currently portrayed as a gay black man with an Indian travelling companion.

If he had said "the stories aren't very good" then he would have been correct but he didn't go that route.

I saw a few series when David Tenant was the Doctor. And carried on and off until Karen Gillan left, but that must be about 15 years ago. It was mildly entertaining. I haven’t seen any of the more recent Doctors and couldn’t tell you who they were/are.

It's a kid's programme, I watched it when I was a kid (Pertwee then Tom Baker) and with my kids (Tenant then Smith).

Yeah similar to another OP. Saw with kids when David Tennant on but not since. Quite enjoyed it. Billie Piper is suppose to be new doctor. Good looking lass.

I used to watch it religiously when the newer ones started with Chris Eccleston but stopped when Peter Capaldi started and not watched any since it went all PC, Woke and really pointless.

Do you think they have gotten desperate with the replacement doctor?

Yes. Kids still seem to love it, it would be very difficult to make it appealing to kids, parents, grandparents and great grandparents, as 4 generations have watched is as kids now.

Imagine being this triggered that a fictional dimension hopping time lord who can regenerate into different forms is currently being portrayed by someone who isn't a straight white man. Who hurt you, Benters? You seem so upset that there are people in the world different to you and that they should all have the same rights that you do.

He's going to be furious when he learns that the show was first producer and director were a woman and a gay Indian fella.

For what it's worth, final episode last night, the current series has a been a step up in quality but it probably needs a few years off and a bit of a rethink right now.

Watched the Tom Baker era as a boy, then quite a bit of the Christopher Ecclestone period when it restarted and a few odd episodes since.

I own a collection of the books from the '60s/'70s era.

Loved it as a kid, when to me it was properly scary, haven't watched for 15/20 years probably.

If you've never watched it in your life, how do assert that it's rubbish?

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Box ticking is a term used by people who used to use ‘londonistan’ as a way to express their racist inclinations without actually being overly racist. See ‘woke’ and ‘you can’t say anything anymore’.

But let’s face it, we knew what he was like before but others wanted him back on here.

Do you like sci-fi?

Up to a few years ago I used to watch it regularly but then the stories become really overblown and I stopped. But I have watched a couple episodes from this season - one with an animated baddie and that was quite good.

As a kid I was scared witless when Jon Pertwee was trapped in a mine with the big wriggly maggots (since found out its a story called "The Green Death"). I didn't pluck up the courage to watch it again until Suzanne Danielle appeared in an alien race battling the Daleks with Tom Baker. I drifted off it soon after Peter Davidson started. I half-watch them now out of curiousity but don't really understand it anymore. I think this 2nd run of Doctors has run out of steam just like the 1st run did in the 80s after 5 doctors. It needs another 10 year break and a re-think.
