<blockquote><b>The 'woke' storylines that have left once popular Doctor Who 'on the verge of being cancelled'</b> https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14408525/woke-storylines-cancel-doctor-bbc.html Doctor Who, one of the UK's most beloved science-fictions shows, faces 'extermination' after its 'woke' storylines enraged viewers. The long-running sci-fi phenomenon, which has a global following of millions, has seen its ratings plummet after fans were left fed up by some of its recent plots. Fuming 'Whovians' were outraged at the introduction of transgender and non-binary characters who would lash out at those 'assuming their gender', as well as a deranged villain played by a drag queen. Campaigners have accused bosses behind the BBC series of 'promoting the cult of gender ideology' in the latest episodes of the time-hopping romp, which is streamed globally thanks to a lucrative deal with Disney thought to be worth £100million. It comes amid rumours the franchise's lead star, Ncuti Gatwa, is on the verge of quitting his role as the Time Lord and that the show could soon be cancelled. The Scottish actor, 32, joined the cast in 2023 after Jodie Whittaker bowed out as the Doctor, but it's rumoured he's set to walk away from the show after two seasons. The recent outing of the Doctor suffered abysmal ratings, with Ncuti's first series attracting between 2.25million and 3.18million viewers - a tiny fraction of what it used to pull in. The slump comes after Russell T Davies returned as showrunner and introduced a string of controversial plots - which included David Tennant's Doctor realising he was gay after developing a crush on the 'hot' Sir Isaac Newton.</blockquote> hes just doing his usual sarcastic humour thing is all anyway its fun to see him talk about Batman 89 (presumaly he was on the short list for the role but i doubt he ever considered doing it, ) Stellar guest list (Demi Moore, Pam Anderson, Jeff Goldblum, Luke Skywalker, Ralph Finnes, Sebastian Stan, Zoe Saldana, Guy Pearce, Adrian Brody etc ) Boring as f**k to watch Yes one need only look at the later mutiple 'Berman Trek' series, too much, of varying quality, eventually totally killed Trek on TV and films. and there was little/no desire for more (until Paramount took a risk and went back to TOS for a big budget movie) Agreed at 78/79! episodes there's more than enough, but even so the series ending when it did after only 3y (and when it was in decline) created an insatiable desire for more. also that it bowed out before it got too bad/70s/unwatchable going even worse than s3 (therefore lessening anticipation for more) Shouldve got Oliver Stone to do it. Taffin 2: Taff of the Mourning Its official https://variety.com/2025/film/news/goonies-2-sequel-steven-spielberg-1236308226/ i actually thought he was great in the movie , he was funny but kind of serious in parts too. Ruffalo doesn't where he is or what he's doing most of the time Maybe they figured it was too jarring to have Ruffalo when it should really be Norton? idk View all replies >
