 e-mail the BBC and tell 'em where they fucked up

 1.  Appeasing the Politically Correct whiners with idiocy
like gender-swapping established characters..

 Most of the whiners would whine about the show anyway... it's
a bit like blaming dogs for barking. It's what they do!
 

2.  Trying to "Americanise" it with the silly movie.

 Now, now... at least the TVM made a point of shooting
Sylvester McCoy's Doctor... that's got to be worth
something, surely?
 

3. Taking Disney's money and shutting out a large
proportion of their international audience.

 The thing is, the BBC are on the search for another
streaming company to invest in the show... so it looks like
they'd rather have the $$ than a non-UK audience who just
want to watch Doctor Who for free.

Nobody (other than those using pirate websites) has ever watched a TV show for free. Doctor Who used to be shown on a regular free-to-air TV channel here in New Zealand, but that is paid for via advertising (and that is paid for via higher product prices in store) and/or taxes (for the government-owned TVNZ). The BBC was paid money by New Zealand network to have the rights to broadcast the show in New Zealand.
As the old saying goes: "There's no such thing as a free lunch".  :-p
