• Ratings Obliteration for Doctor Whoke

    From The True Doctor@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 1 01:30:21 2025
    The final consolidated +4 ratings for Doctor Whoke S02E09 have come in including streaming, and it can now be said that Lux is the lowest
    rating episode of all time ever since Doctor Who began in 1963.

    At 3.00 million this figure beats the 3.1 million viewers obtained by
    episode 1 of Battlefield back in 1989 when the series was cancelled.

    The episode only added 1.42 million viewers over 7 days and streaming to
    the dismal record breaking 1.58 viewers that watched it overnight.

    https://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/uk-doctor-who-ratings-2025-103940.htm

    Let's hope this brings about the immediate cancellation of the perverted sexually harassing bully Doctor Whoke, played by Ncuti Gatwa, the
    current incarnation of the genocidal Timeless Child monster.

    Do you only have one drum to bang?

    There are other things out there to get worked up over than
    ratings of a TV show... your obsession is warping your mind.
    Relax.

    Doctor Blueshirt recommends a nice cup of tea, a handful of
    biscuits and a lay-down in a dark room. You will feel better
    later on...

    Two completely different stories from two completely different

    I didn't think either episode was THAT bad actually, but they
    are episodes form eras of "Doctor Who" where the show is clearly
    on a downward trend among viewers.

    The episode only added 1.42 million viewers over 7 days and
    streaming to the dismal record breaking 1.58 viewers that

    This stat alone shows why the overnights are no longer of any
    importance and the consolidated seven figure is more indicative.

    Nearly as many people watched the episode over seven days
    streamed/time-shifted (1.42m) as they did on broadcast (1.58m).

    This isn't comparing the episodes. It's comparing the ratings.

    I didn't think either episode was THAT bad actually, but they
    are episodes form eras of "Doctor Who" where the show is clearly
    on a downward trend among viewers.


    Actually Sylvester McCoy's era was on an upward trend. The writing
    started to improve and the stories got better. This is not the case for
    the incel pervert Ncuti Gatwa where the writing has descended into
    sexual harassment and debauchery because it's being written by a sick degenerate pervert that no man wants to sleep with.

    The episode only added 1.42 million viewers over 7 days and
    streaming to the dismal record breaking 1.58 viewers that
    watched it overnight.

    This stat alone shows why the overnights are no longer of any
    importance and the consolidated seven figure is more indicative.

    This stat shows that no one gives a fuck for the perverted crap Davies
    has replaced Doctor Who with in order to coerce and sexually groom children.

    Nearly as many people watched the episode over seven days streamed/time-shifted (1.42m) as they did on broadcast (1.58m).
    No one but around 100,000 to 300,000 people watched the episode on
    broadcast. The rest were people who had their TV switched on an tuned
    into BBC1 all day no matter what it was showing.

    The true 7 day ratings are not much better when you take into account
    that you only need to watch the episode online for just 10 seconds in
    order to count as a viewer, just as you do with YouTube. Divide 1.42
    million by 100 and you will get a far closer approximation to the number
    of people who watched the actual episode all the way through.

    This pile of festering woke shit that sought to lecture the audience
    about AIDS, racism, and segregation, instead of telling an actual story
    about things the majority were interested in, couldn't have got more
    than about 500,000 people that watched 90% of it or more.

    This isn't comparing the episodes. It's comparing the ratings.

    Still apples and oranges... as the television environment - and
    Doctor Who - was so much different back then. No Internet, no
    streaming services, less TV channels, different story
    lengths, less budget, worse FX, etc.

    Personally I don't think "Lux" deserves to be the lowest rated
    episode of Doctor Who ever... but it is what it is.

    I didn't think either episode was THAT bad actually, but they
    are episodes form eras of "Doctor Who" where the show is

    Actually Sylvester McCoy's era was on an upward trend. The

    In some ways that is true. The fact is though the general
    television watching public had nothing but apathy for the show
    back then... there was only four TV back channels then too,
    so the show had limited competition for viewers. Doctor Who was
    in decline... it could only end one way.

    This is not the case for the incel pervert Ncuti Gatwa
    where the writing has descended into sexual harassment
    and debauchery because it's being written by a sick
    degenerate pervert that no man wants to sleep with.

    For me, the stories this season ARE getting better. Whether this

    Doctor Blueshirt recommends a nice cup of tea, a handful of

    You just invited trouble upon yourself.

    From who?

    I recommend to one of my friends that they have a cup of tea,

    Two completely different stories from two completely
    different eras of the show, so a bit like comparing apples
    and oranges.

    This isn't comparing the episodes. It's comparing the ratings.

    Still apples and oranges... as the television environment - and
    Doctor Who - was so much different back then. No Internet, no
    streaming services, less TV channels, different story
    lengths, less budget, worse FX, etc.

    Personally I don't think "Lux" deserves to be the lowest rated
    episode of Doctor Who ever... but it is what it is.

    I didn't think either episode was THAT bad actually, but they
    are episodes form eras of "Doctor Who" where the show is
    clearly on a downward trend among viewers.

    Actually Sylvester McCoy's era was on an upward trend. The
    writing started to improve and the stories got better.

    In some ways that is true. The fact is though the general
    television watching public had nothing but apathy for the show
    back then... there was only four TV back channels then too,
    so the show had limited competition for viewers. Doctor Who was
    in decline... it could only end one way.


    You are so Anti-McCoy that you do not know what the real problem
    was at the Time: Jonathan Powell!


    The real problem was the JNT was a sex obsessed pervert who expected
    personal favours from everyone working on the show.

    This is not the case for the incel pervert Ncuti Gatwa
    where the writing has descended into sexual harassment
    and debauchery because it's being written by a sick
    degenerate pervert that no man wants to sleep with.

    For me, the stories this season ARE getting better. Whether this
    continues for the rest of the season is another matter though...

    All that getting worked up over "Doctor Who" must affect his
    blood pressure to some degree. So a nice cup of tea and a good
    rest is the best way to unwind... ready to go again tomorrow
    afternoon after he's seen "Lucky Day"!

    You know, from when the show was actually good and Jon

    I doubt very few longtime Doctor Who fans would have a Season 26
    story in their top ten list of classic "Doctor Who" episodes.

    It might have been a marginal improvement over Season 25 though,
    I'll give you that!

    You just invited trouble upon yourself.

    From who?

    I recommend to one of my friends that they have a cup of tea,
    some biscuits and rest for a bit and I am inviting trouble
    upon myself?

    You are a weirdo...

    Methinks you have no idea of what the term trouble means!

    AGA might flame you for your suggestions.

    Might he? Why do you see the need to speak for him though?

    Maybe AGA likes to lay down and rest after a hard day's ranting?

    Bloody Glasses (reading NOT Drinking!!)

    First time I read that, it read "a hard *gay's* ranting"!!

    Care to get a new perscription?
