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 guess that'll be me then.
I used to watch it avidly as a kid. Tom Baker was the first Dr I really remember, followed by Peter Davidson. I stopped watching towards the end of the Colin Baker era and didn't bother with the Eccleston reboot, but into it again with David Tennant. Haven't missed an episode since. My kids have grown up with it too. For balance we've thoroughly enjoyed the latest incarnation. The constant throwbacks are well worked in to the stories. Granted it's all a little far fetched and sometimes muddled, but it's simple escapism and there doesn't seem much wrong with that. Not so much aimed at this post nor you Blueas, but some of contributions to this thread have been quite unpleasant. Unecessarily so.
I wouldn't worry what numpties on here say. They diss your life choices watching a well-regarded TV series and spend much of their lives posting nonsense on a football messageboard most people have never heard of.
Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Irony level = 1000
"A+++++", "Great Comms, would recommend", "Thank you, the 12 inch black mamba is just perfect" - Ebay.
I'll never get over people covered head to toe in cling film and silver spray pouncing round a BBC studio while Tom Baker mugs wide-eyed at the camera.
That said, the Daleks were alright and I had a soft spot for the Cybermen.

What a bizarre thread...
OP: TV show I've never watched is rubbish, and I don't understand how it's still on the telly because I've never met any of the 3m people who watch it.
First reply: Used to be good back in the day, but not a fan now because the show has started including characters that reflect our diverse society.
FWIW...
Adding to the OP discussion, I used to watch the odd show in the Tom Baker era, but was too young at the time to remember any of it now and never appealed to me since; but I have family members who are big fans and eagerly await all the new series / episodes.
For the subsequent discussion about the first reply which seems to have taken over half the thread, poster hasn't said anything xenophobic. They have decided to wear their own xenophobia like a badge of honour though (which according to some later replies was common knowledge anyway), so probably deserves pity in the replies rather than anger.
1000% agree with your last paragraph..🙌🙌🙌👍

It's a childrens TV show, same as Game of Thrones was, even though both are called a drama series, so you need to ask children if they still watch it. From my limited conversations, it's still watched by a lot of children. But from what I understand the regular changing of the person playing Dr Who is resulting in less people watching it. Whereas in the early days of the programme you had the same person playing Dr Who for years and people felt closer to them.

Game of thrones a childrens' show?
It features decapitation, incest, naked shaming, prostitutes and ample nudity. Kids TV must have moved on a bit since my day.

Ridiculously, it seems to be on the front line of right wing culture wars, which probably explains the unpleasantness. My Mrs and I used to enjoy it back around the time of Tenant exactly because it was easy watching escapism. Same with Torchwood (same production people). It’s made in Wales too, which means it get the better half’s stamp of approval however good or bad.
