woeful rating and fans' fury at woke storylines

 DOCTOR Who is facing the axe, with star Ncuti Gatwa poised to quit and
crew claiming to be laid off.
 The recent series suffered abysmal ratings with fans outraged by the BBC
shoehorning wokery into storylines.
 Note: Disney Plus was contractually obligated for the three David
Tennant 14th Doctor specials and two seasons, 13-episodes each, starring
Ncuti Gatwa as the 15th Doctor.
 If there were a third Disney Plus season, Gatwa would have to negotiate
a new contract.
 No decision will be made till the second Disney Plus series airs.

 I've never seen any of this.

 It'€™s not very good, but a lot of it is better than a lot of recent Doctor
Who. Like Jody Whitaker and lot of Crapaldi.

The BBC has already said they are still planning to film "season 3" after "season 2" airs. Whether ot not Nugly Gatwaste-of-space is still around or not is a different question, but the reality is fewer and fewer actually care. Doctor Who has been ruined by successive seasons with ridiculous "Political Correctness" garbage being forced into to to appease BBC checklists and the PC imbeciles, and many other shows (especailly BBC ones) are following the same silly path.   :-(
