[QUOTE="pete lashmar, post: 344627, member: 606"] I find it fascinating that when all is said and done it's the fact that the 13th Doctor was female that gets "The Haters/Not my Doctor" fans riled up. How damn sexist is that in 2022??? Just because there are loud voices screaming that the show has been ruined and everyone involved should be sacked doesn't mean that every fan has the same opinion. In fact fandom amongst women has grown hugely...is that not a good thing? As for merchandise, that started vanishing when Moffat took over, absolutely nothing to do with the CB/JW era. Back in the 70's when the show was hugely popular with Tom Baker you were lucky if you got a pair of Doctor Who underpants let alone remote control daleks etc. And let's be honest here, how many Dalek and TARDIS models do you need? Doctor Who has never been a big hitter ratings wise, it's been popular and sometimes very popular - like when ITV had a strike in 1978 and The City of Death recieved a huge ratings boost or at Christmas when RTD gave us blockbuster episodes, but since RTD left the ratings have gone lower and lower as people walk away from the show, watch it on online etc etc. Some people just give up on shows, I watched Grey's Anatomy for 15 seasons and got bored and walked away....not everyone stays watching a series just because it's on. But I'm sorry, anyone who takes to youtube with nasty, insulting videos, demanding people get sacked and that the show has become an abomination need to get a grip and a life. Hate speech is never acceptable, especially about a bloody TV programme - as much as I adore and love it *some eras a lot less than others) I will always support it with positivity and light. Anyone who feels "that" angry about a TV show needs to walk away and find something else they can complain about. [/QUOTE]
