I'm an American that has been watching Doctor Who since John Pertwee. The character of the doctor was a role model for me. A thinking and logical helping man. There was no reason to do this. Why not have The Doctor rescue Gallifray and free the other time lords/ladies?

We've stopped watching now purely because of the lecturing story lines. It's a real shame because the new Dr. Who is brilliant. BBC have seriously let her down.

It’s bollocks.

Who needs this? Watch Rick & Morty, instead .

It is beyond joke

BBC = PC pole ratings.

I don't get why people are getting so mad about it raising important issues in the mainstream media. And also are forgetting that Doctor Who has always been a very liberal show that revolutionised television and raised important issues, the show has changed over the years,

They’ve ticked every box

It’s drunk with virtue!

These replies.

Nope,, I think DW has lost the plot and has become PC drivel.....

They’re wrong. It is way too pc.

100% ruined by SJW nonsense - you lost me at female Doctor Who LMFAO. What's next, turning the Tardis into a trans bathroom?

So I'm not the only one giving this rubbish a miss? Sad end to a wonderful era.

To be honest they are hardly going to say anything different. Having been a fan for over 40 years. I stopped watching last year. Even then it felt very much like Doctor Who in name only. Not missed watching it this years, not even been tempted.

It is one of many shows these days that has to fit itself into the inclusive and PC correctness that looks forced unnatural and out of place.

It's awash with virtue, it's awash with claptrap, it's awash with placeman. And as a result its pants

Maybe it's aimed at the minority..

It certainly has. A good while back DoctorWho used to be edgy and dare I say exciting. Now, it's just bland, with a Tardis full of political correctness.

Barnes_Law omg i dont even have to read it to know it has lol

It is and it is ruined, just like Bodyguard & most of BBC’s programmes nowadays. At least we still have the great Sir David Attenborough’s shows. Hopefully the PC geniuses won’t find a way to ruin them.

stopped watching it now after been a keen fan for over 50 years it is now with this new series utter pc drivel

Barnes_Law Because why wouldn't they want to keep their gravy train moving along?

You don't say even the Darleks are as camp as Christmas & The Cybermen wear pink ribbons?🤣

I quit watching the show a few years ago. It got to SJW for me. Totally ruined a good show. I doubt I will ever watch it again.

The subtitle proves the point conclusively

Barnes_Law it's been too PC for years. I don't know anyone who even watches it anymore

Barnes_Law It’s unwatchable

It’s hilarious to see the last few liberal elite commentators trying to defend it. Just let it sink without trace, as will be the case for the ever politically overcorrect BBC.

Not the best people to ask in my opinion! Like asking a factory worker if he enjoys his job as the boss stands behind him wafting a p45 😏

I’m sorry I just feel it’s boring. For some reason this one hasn’t captured my imagination or desire to want to watch it again and again. I hope the stories do get better but at this moment I’m not satisfied and I love Doctor Who.

Well it's bloody obvious they would. 🙄Ask those who have to endure it.

Absolutely! As has the whole country, it's ridiculous!

Yes it has 1 from each category of life! Just so obvious & it is a waste of the licence fee!

It’s gone to shit, Christopher Eccleston was brilliant when it came back then David Tennant took it to another level, since the its progressively gone down hill, is its so PC that’s it’s piss poor, BBC messed up with current female Dr, what’s next a white Nelson Mandela!!

I loved the rosa parks one but I've missed how when they had an adventure without making it into pc lesson every Episode it's why I stopped watching it. It saddens me to do so

It’s been boring, strained and she is trying too hard to be Doctor Who!

We have watched every show since Christopher Eccleston restarted it again. Its been brilliant. Rubbish now. Dont watch it. Deleted from planner after 4 PC shows.☹

Kids don't give a toss about being an 'entertaining reminder' of important issues. ' They want to see Daleks and Cybermen getting the snot knocked out of them.

My family are enjoying it week after week. Looking forward to next Sunday’s episode!

the show looks like it was specified by: W1A, and with no budget, or writers.

It is totally PC as are BBC. Every day PC employed by media.

Yes. Yes it bloodywell has. No need for it to be

They wouldn't recognise what's pc anyway, they live their whole lives in a pc bubble so it's perfectly normal to them.

Bless. It's Snowflakes 'R' Us. 🙄

Dr Who has been destroyed. We just happen to get assistants that are white, black and asian, the Dr is a bird, there was an episode or two of a dude having a baby. There's bound to be a homosexual and a tranny in there too... Disgusting, mind-numbing crap.

well they would wouldn't they? doh !!

It's total bollocks, and it always has been. DoctorPoo

They work for the BBC. Nothing is too politically correct at the BBC.

Rejection is probably in their bbc contract.... the bbc is little more than a social engineering project these days...

What would they know? They’re actors.

PC is over.

It's now completely unwatchable. Poor plots. Over acting. Crap incidental music. PC preaching and incredibly irritating.

If it has, and people don’t like it. We will see the ratings go down. Don’t worry. I am sure it still is very good.

No necessarily too pc, just too boring.

Doctor Who stars say claims the show is too politically correct are 'bizarre'Mandip Gill and Tosin Cole say storylines ‘create conversation’ about broader issues Lets move away from the 'too pc' stuff to worst series ever in terms of writing. Jodie isnt up to it either alas. New showrunner and lead required Racists upset show doesn't feature only white people. The issue isn't political correctness, it's that Chris Chibnall isn't a good fit for Doctor Who. He never wrote a single good episode before being asked to become showrunner. Why would you want HIM in charge?

'It Takes You Away' is a season finest episode for Doctor WhoIt’s been a solid, occasionally spectacular debut season for 13th Doctor Jodie Whittaker. Now, with just two Doctor Who episodes to go (excluding a Christmas special airing on New Year’s Day), show-runner Chris Chibnall has a pre-Christmas cracker in store, as the gutsy Gallifreyan is sent on her most thought-provoking escapade to date. Did the Tardis take the high road? Do TV critics or reviewers even watch the same things as us? Another from a long list of dreadful episodes. DoctorWho the writers have gone to town with utter dross... everyone was worrying about a woman doctor, that’s not the issue it’s the storylines Literally the worst episodes ever written - I feel so sorry for Jodie!
