[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 344474, member: 40536"] So the final story of the catastrophic run of Chibnall and Whitaker. How Bad? Ratings (Same day) of previous finales (Millions) Eccleston; 6.91 Tennant 12.27 M Smith 8.30 Capaldi 5.70 Chibnall/Whitaker 3.7 Let that sink in for a minute. Not only is that a 35% drop from Capaldi's and a 46% drop from Eccleston, but also was a special episode from the BBC's 100 year anniversary, with lots of publicity, and cameos from past Doctors, Companions, Daleks, Cybermen, The Master, etc. It is also a 55% drop from JW debut episode. On BBC America,The finale registered a feeble 317,000 viewers, a season average of a paltry 332,000. By contrast, Capaldi's finale had 1.145 million viewers on BBC America, a season average (#10) of 653,000 Capaldi's finale more than tripled JW, the final season for Capaldi more than doubled JW, both on BBC America David Tennant and Matt Smith numbers were even higher. Merchandising has declined staggeringly. Dr Who merchandise was once plentiful, now it is barely there. Just look in any relevant store, and you will... not see it, The spin that only a few disgruntled fans has been proven to false, actually extremely false The Woke agenda, poor casting, worse acting, writers and directors, various crew etc. with no or limited sci-fi experience, the disrespect for longtime fans, Chibnall's Timeless Child retcon which not only contradicts the entire history of the Series but also means that the Doctor can endlessly regenerate without ever facing any real danger to HIS life undermines any real drama. If anyone can rescue the show, it is RTD, but he MUST eradicate the Timeless Child myth. Whether he can or will... who knows. It is almost fitting that DW will go to Disney, a woke company that its founder would be horrified to see today. David Tennant will restore credibility to the show, at least temporarily. I don't know anything about Ncuti Gatwa, but he couldn't be worse than JW - I don't mean to diss with faint praise. I wish him well. Maybe Doctor Who can recover its integrity, I do have confidence in RTD As for Chibnall Whitaker and the entire cast and crew of this disgraceful era [SIZE=7]GOOD RIDDANCE!!![/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
