O.K they are claiming an indefinete hiatus, but this will not be the 18 month one as they did in Classic
Who is to blame?
Every showrunner who decided that Doctor Who had to have a woke social agenda and hit over the fans head with a 10 foot club
The two last actors to play the doctor insulting the fans
Lousy companions
DR Who has been cancelled
Re: DR Who has been cancelled
Not a surprise, the modern reboot was a bigger budget, that means it has to be more popular. I don't think woke is the problem. Bad writing kills shows, not being "woke." Some of the best episodes of the series had openly gay characters, like Captain Jack. The people that were engaged by the show back in 2005 are now all grown up and getting that audience to stick around is much harder. The series ran out of gas after a long run, they couldn't come up with monsters of the week a doctor and companions that were able to compete with Eccleston, Smith and Tennant. The writing wasn't there and the characters weren't engaging. That happens in the writer's room....

I think Eccelston was awful as the Doctor, Tennant you could put as one of the bestsneakly wrote: ↑1 day agoNot a surprise, the modern reboot was a bigger budget, that means it has to be more popular.

Openly gay is not a problem. but having a companion who is only there to beat the audience over the head she is LGBT(Bill Potts) is woke as is that horrrible episode when Tennant came back and he was lectured on pronouns
Re: DR Who has been cancelled
Disney thought they were going to get an audience since it was a long running popular series. People didn't like the way the show had been going and just left.
They might have done better just running all the old episodes like Fox did when they created a Simpsons channel.
