Doctor Who

Yet the last BBC report at the end of that year still has the show in its top 6 most profitable IPs. Which either means the Beeb hardly make any money or the show really ain't doing as bad as some 'fans' wish it was.

Sounds rather like Disney claiming that The Acolyte was their 2nd most successful show using total minutes watched as a metric.

There’s a quote about “Lies, damned lies and statistics.” that comes to mind.

Its good for making headlines but short on details, does that include all the money Disney put into who? Do we know how this compare in the pre mouse days?
 
Nope, can't watch that guy. Can't even pronounce Ncuti correctly and has lots of Trump and other right wing supporting videos. Hard to take anything he says seriously..

Hard pass.
 
I don't even need to watch that vid to know it's another rage watcher like critical drinker and the like.

Don't go down the right-wing rabbit hole. They are the gateway drug for so many guys and why we have an incel problem.

Saying that, the current writing on Dr Who does indeed suck and it needs a decade of rest like top gear.

It's not 'surviving' or nearly dying. Doctor Who is still one of the BBCs six most profitable IPs. So it's clearly doing well still. Overnight ratings are not as big of a thing with modern TV due to the way content can now be accessed and consumed weeks or months after something airs.

It's on it's **** and has been for years, you're simply deluding yourself. I'll put it to you this way, when Doctor Who was revived and was a huge success with succesive Doctors it was spoken of everywhere as the massive success it was and garnerd critical acclaim from the wider madia and fans, now no-one is calling it a success except the BBC and Whovian stans , why is that? - Just think about why these conversations are even being had, and why the BBC is clearly thinking about canning it. It doesn't make sense, if it was still succesful.

ROP never a success, only Amazon and ROP stans claimed otherwise, even the legacy media fell into line in the end when their position of supporting it and spinning the numbers became untentable. So the conversation has been about it being a massive failure, people who don't like the show couldn't wish that conversation into being, it happened organically because the reception and ratings were catastrophic.

That these conversation are being had about Doctor Who is absolute concrete evidence that the show is bad (individual subjectivity notwithstanding), and has fallen off a cliff in recent years.

Lol


Star trek and Dr who. 2 of my favourite childhood TV shows.
Both recently destroyed to the point I stopped caring.

I'll be back in 5 years if that happens!
