I really am at a loss to explain Doctor Who's current ratings. From The Star Beast to The Church of Ruby Road they stayed consistent, with some of the best catch up numbers the show had seen in years, the fact they stayed high for TCORR showed that it wasn't just the Tennant factor, but the sudden drop for this season is a surprise, even the catch up has massive dropped, back to the level it was at the end of the Chibnall era. It's like 2023 was a blip and the gradual decline the show has been suffering for the last five years has got back on track.

#doctor who #dw #weirdly no ai scores have been released for this season #so it is difficult to gage audience reactions #since sites like rt an imdb are being review bombed like hell #i was expecting overnights to go down with eps now being released first on iplayer #all to sync it up with disney #but fewer seem to be watching it online as well #and i have no clue what the disney+ numbers are or if they are acceptable to them to keep funding the show #the current deal is only for two seasons #if disney opt out then i'm afraid this will be the end of the show #and the worst people will say that it was because of ncuti or some other culture war racist bollocks #or because they had a woman doctor #but the ratings have been declining since capaldi #with only some brief upturns when there's been a change of doctor #but it could just be that the show has been running for almost 20 years now in its current form #and like a lot of long running shows people are just drifting away #and fewer and fewer new people are getting into it
