I'm a mixed race female who grew up loving Dr Who ....Ncuti Gatwa can't act , screaching and mincing isn't acting, it's fecking annoying .....and the scripts are crap , There , Fixed it for you

I'm a straight white man and bloody proud. I haven't watched the wokey bbc for years now simply because the box ticking lefties there have ruined the channel.

It's no longer suitable for children.

Another good show that the BBC has now destroyed no wonder why viewing figures are going down scrap the fee

God who cares turned off the bullshit broadcasting campaign years ago!

Coloured actors appearing in inappropriate roles in historical dramas , Cultural Appropriation appears to work one-way. As soon as I see this I switch off.

No longer watch the BBC and never will again

Exactly. Most of us are not racist, but the policy of hiring people/actors because they are from a minority is galling to most. It has the opposite effect of its intention. It causes racism. People are sick of it.

For years the doctor has never regenerated into a woman or a black gay man. I haven’t watched Dr Who since the last two entered the picture. They should have left the Dr as a white man. Appalling. Why destroy a brand?

The thought of the new Doctor Who forcing anything of his down my throat fills me with dread.

You want woke? Hollyoaks, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have it in spades! More diversity to last a life time with ridiculous storylines and unbelievable characters.

Being gay etc should not be treated like a positive aspiration when the majority isn't, to do so is ridiculous.

This where diversity hiring leads. A 5th column inside the Civil Service.

Doctor Who was a quirky show for kids. Now it's a racist piece of preachy garbage

That Metro headline is disgusting. It’s clear this writer has her own agenda not based on anything factual at all. Doctor Who wasn’t JUST meant for straight white men. Nor was it meant for gay/bi/trans/plus… people. Identy was NEVER an issue with Doctor Who when it was created - or through the majority of its 60+ year run. It’s only with the upsurge of “woke” ideology - and pandering to that ideology - that everything has turned to crap. It WAS a fun, thrilling sci-fi show. Now it’s a flag waving lecture exercise…and is haemorrhaging viewers as a result.

Having watched DR Who from its first inception, it’s now a complete load of woke garbage no longer worth watching. Never again, lost cause.

What they don't understand anymore is they are there to entertain us not to give us their political views

In its heyday, Doctor Who was escapist fun. It is now utter tripe!

turn off MSM and stop paying the beeb license.

Russell T Davies proved that age cancels all talent. He has lost it. His scripts are rubbish now. It is a waste of time watching it.

I cant even be bothered hatewatching it anymore.

I switched off two years ago. I never switched back on and the tv has now gone. I don’t miss the moralisers, the hectoring, or shouting at the screen. Life is calmer, I get more done.

I started watching Doctor Who in the Jon Pertwee era and as far as I'm concerned the last decent Doctor was played by Peter Capaldi. Jodi Whittaker and Ncuti Gatwa are absolutely atrocious in the role and with the writing and show runners being so woke recently it's pushed all the traditional fans away.

Haven't watched it since I was about 12 - Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker era - when it was good. Looks like a total woke nightmare now.

I decided not to watch it, but switched the tv on about 15 minutes before Eurovision. I had it on silent and watched a ridiculous song and dance scene. It's jumped the shark. Even my Doctor Who obsessive youngest daughter didn't bother on Saturday and still hasn't watched it on catch-up. I won't be bothering again.

You only have to look at TV adverts to see who they pander to....

Out of curiosity I watched a few minutes of Dr Who and nearly threw up.

Re Doctors. I used to watch it until about 18 months ago. I got sick of BBC preaching about the trans claptrap. One episode had the nurse sitting everyone down at lunchtime and giving them a lecture on what all the different flags mean!

All TV,especially soap operas are social engineering. None of it brings any happiness, ever

Cancel your License.

I hardly watch any new programs these days. I watch 70s 80s and 90s programs, before woke and Tick Boxing Black things on us.

The Doctor used to fight evil, now he's written by the sort of brainwashed dictators that he'd fight tooth and claw to depose. It's a sad decline of a witty, spooky series that had its heyday in the 1960s and 70s when smarter, more creative people were in charge.

Disney now run Dr Who and they're obsessed about wokery.

I'm very happy to have gay and trans friends but trying to make the whole world gay or trans, including all of our cultural icons, is just a turn off.

The Tories have had 14 years to root out the woke elements from the civil service. They have done nothing.

dr woke

Rafe’s a true patriot who has no time for woke bs, and always knows exactly what he’s talking about.

I have to admit to sometimes watching Doctor Who out a a morbid fascination to see just how bad it now is. Not only is the Doctor now black and homosexual, but the storylines become ever more farcical, even when one thinks that they can't get any worse. I suspect that even most kids would be acutely embarrassed to claim authorship of these stories.

I saw the very first broadcast episode of DW and have followed it ever since, so I feel entitled to comment on the recent parlours state of the show since Chibnall’s disastrous tenure. The arrogance of these people is staggering, they preach to us about how we should live when they are barely out of nappies with sod all life experience. The utter contempt with which longstanding fans have been treated is shameful, we supported DW for literally decades, and yet we are being told we are irrelevant dinosaurs and instead this show now needs to pander to these ridiculous ideologies that have no basis in science or fact. I used to say one of the few things I would take to the streets to protect is the BBC, well guess what, I couldn’t care if it burned to the ground now, what a tragic demise.

Well all people have do do is not watch DR Who as a form of backlash. But as we know people will still watch it just like they followed England taking the knee. No wonder our country's in a ducking mess. 🇬🇧

Doctor Who now more Genetically mutant than Davros's Daleks

The metro paper is amazing in the fact that it is free and still overpriced shite.

I’ve watched Dr Who from the beginning with William Hartnell, I gave up with the 12th Doctor Peter Capaldi. I haven’t bothered to watch an episode since. Have they introduced the female Muslim doctor covered head to toe who looks out of a title slit on her niquab yet? Or is that yet to come.

*R.I.P. Doctor Who (1963 - 1996).*

I've been a Dr Who fan since the very first series with William Hartnell. Over that time I've enjoyed most of the episodes since then but there have been a few silly plotlines (mostly during Judi Whittaker's tenure). Overall well worth the many years of my unstinting devotion. But I sat through the first 15 mins of Space Babies then switched off. It was silly and childish (no pun intended). It was the first time since 23 November 1963 that I've switched off a DW episode. Nothing to do with wokery or LGBTQ+ (I am a gay man by the way). The Doctor should be flying through space and time saving the underdog, righting wrongs, saving planets from destruction, protecting friendly aliens and despatching villains and monsters. It was just embarrassing, daft and juvenile...!!

Queer means weird/odd/strange

Patrick Troughton was a great Doctor too

Brilliant, the BBC think we are all multiracial families or gay

Its a perfect mirror of the downfall of our culture. Just look at the Eurovision "song contest" this year compared to years ago.

No Metro in my village. Could they please print some on soft paper and give it away in rolls. We'd like it here. Perhaps Dr WHo is a branch of the UN

Turned off this $hit$how years ago - stopped paying the bbc tax too

Have you noticed when your fav' series airs for it's new season,every bloody episode has a woman proudly introducing her wife or a nancy proclaiming he has a husband....How sickening. I switch off and never return. It's as though they are saying to us it's ok it's normal.....is it bollocks.

Disney+ Dr Who=Franchise destroyed

London major, just promised to build 46 thousand houses. Just for muslims in London, so they can be near each other and closer to halal shops and a mosque.

It's NOT Dr WHO, it's Dr Whoever, therefore worthless.

The 'Doctor' is a Timelord, above human desire. I never thought of him doing 'it' with women before. So why should he need to with a m😊an?

In all the years I’ve been watching Dr Who and I’ve been watching since the mid 70’s, I don’t think the Doctors sexual orientation has ever been mentioned, probably because it has nothing to do with the show.

No wonder they have to give the paper away...

I don´t think the viewers care so much whether he regenerates as male or female/person of colour or not, it´s more to do about the character and personality and boy this actor does not have a pleasant character - he´s full of ego and racist

In the 60s Dr Who was for many kids was the TV. highlight of the week. This was in black and white and with very basic special effects.

im waiting for a remake of the sound of music where the von trapp family are black or trans.

We must not let labour in.

Make sure you keep tabs on what your children are watching. Best to introduce them to older cartoons and stuff than modern things

Spent 20yrs abroad we did get the BBC on the cable still havnt watched since 1999 and have never payed their TAX😂

RTD can churn out his Woke mental Syphilis "Doctor Who" to his heart's content. The once loyal fanbase is lonnnnng gone.

I stuck with Peter Capaldi even though the writing was poor near the end of his reign but since this time fans have been told if they don’t like it then don’t watch but when fans do switch off they get told they are still the problem 🤪

How long before we are told, God is a woman.

Haven't seen it, never will either.

That one about Disabled people not being evil is laughable my stepmother was an evil narcissistic criminal 😂 and she was in a wheelchair.

I love Rafe. Why can't we get someone like him (or better still Him) to run the country?

Patrick Troughton was a great doctor but i haven't had a TV license for 31 years

Another Dud ‘classic’ that the BBC still insist on making . CANCEL YOUR LICENSE !!

This is why I don’t watch regular TV or ANY Netflix claptrap.

I'm in America, so Doctor Who is available for us on Disney+. I cancelled my subscription after watching the last Doctor Who episode. It's just terrible now.

It is "THE MESSAGE", you must believe and behave exactly what we say you must

Kids being brain washed IF they even understand what's going on. Or is not for kids anymore?

The civil service work for us do what you are told or leave the service your there to serve not to rule 😊

Since Dr Who went woke, I've been praying for some real life Daleks and Cybermen to invade Broadcasting House.

Capaldi was the last good era of Doctor Who

The issue is that previously the Doctor may well have been gay or whatever, but it was never discussed, because, well why would it need to be? The difference is now the writers seem to feel the need to make it abundantly clear, and actually by drawing attention to it constantly, achieves the opposite of what they hope.

This all started with James Bond. If they introduced Idris Elba as the new James Bond on a speedboat down the Thames most people would not bat an eye. It would be just as dramatic as Daniel Craig being blonde, which was very controversial at the time. He would have smashed the role. The problem we have is the virtue signalling. It's boring.

The Metro have deleted their twitter in response to this (and the kickback). 🎉🥳

Woke woke woke it's all woke , it's the end of days 😂 Never heard so much BS in my life 😂

I always loved Doctor Who but since they brought in Jodie Whittaker I haven't bothered. Such a pity to see the demise of an excellent show.

Not a single advert on tv anymore with just a white family always has to be mixed.. Its insane

William Russell will be 100 years old on November 19th this year so he was 39 years old when the 1st episode was screened on November 23rd 1963.

RIP Dr Who.

I completely agree with the Metro, it is not for us straight white normal men!

Surprised they haven’t renamed it Dr Them They It and that he she identify as a toaster on Wednesdays ff…

We was told by the woke actor if we dont like it go outside and touch grass so we did lol

I wish we could bring back old proper viewing of TV programmes. at least, it wasn't nothing like this woke ticking boxes crap .

I’m in my 60’s iv loved doctor who for years, but dear lord 🤦‍♀️ what have they done to it? Bloody singing and dancing! I thought it was an episode of glee!

Thank you for talking about this issue. The more people who know about it, the more who will react against these agendas.

They have forgot its about dalek wars Not woke culture wars 😂😂😂

The Civil Service should be neutral!

Have not watched Dr Who since David Tennant left. It was ridiculous to change the gender of the Doctor. It made me so angry and I am a woman ! xx

It wasn't "not for you anymore" it read "it was never made for you" wow. Racist, sexist, heterophobic and not very inclusive. I wonder what would happen if the headline was all the other way round.

once upon a time I was scared of the Daleks and the cybermen, now Dr Who himself/herself/theyself/themself is more scary

The last good Doctor Who was Peter Capaldi, and even towards the end of his run the writers started throwing in woke crap.

We need to simply stop tolerating this nonsense.
