In more straightforward terms: The 13th Doctor’s run on ‘Doctor Who’ has been met with poor reception, leading to speculations that echo timeless stories. Jodie Whittaker hints that fan reactions may be a contributing factor to the series’ struggles.
Viewership for the long-running series, “Doctor Who,” under showrunner Chris Chibnall and actress Jodie Whittaker as the Timelord, experienced a significant decline. This trend continued with the introduction of the 15th Doctor, resulting in the lowest ratings in the show’s 60-year broadcast history.
What does Jodie Whittaker say?
According to an article on The Telegraph, Jodie Whittaker points out that some male viewers have expressed discomfort with her portrayal of the Doctor in “Doctor Who.
She shared with The Sunday Times that it was never disputed that she looked up to men, given her fondness for Doctor Who as a young girl. It intrigued her, she added, that certain individuals thought women couldn’t serve as role models.
It appears she contends that her gender not influencing how viewers, particularly young males, regarded the Doctor as an inspiration should have been the case.
As the Doctor myself, I’ve always been the Doctor, but recently, I took on the role of an extraterrestrial character. Regardless, my gender never became a point of contention in the process.” – Jodie Whittaker
Whittaker repeatedly brings up the strong opposition, or “deafening anger,” she faced from a small yet vocal group. She admits that she became overwhelmed and found herself in turmoil when contemplating the potential impact of her portrayal of The Doctor on other actresses playing the role, given that she is a woman.
She went on to say, ‘If Peter Capaldi hadn’t done well as The Doctor, it would have been unfairly reflected on him.’ On the other hand, I worried that if I didn’t perform well in this role, it would have negatively impacted other actors who might have taken the part later. Although I believe it’s unjustified, that’s how I felt about the situation.
Who’s really to blame?
Despite the finger-pointing and fans being criticized (the 15th Doctor has urged fans not to watch), a common sentiment among fans is that the stories are dreadful. Instead of concentrating on crafting high-quality narratives, which “Doctor Who” is renowned for, it seems the focus shifted towards pushing an agenda since Jodie Whittaker took over. The series appears to have been rewritten for diversity and inclusivity (DEI) and wokeness reasons, seemingly aimed at delivering a message.
Well, fans received the message loud and clear and have stopped watching.
Ncuti Gatwa rumored to have quit
According to reports, Ncuti Gatwa, portraying the 15th Doctor, is said to have left the series “Doctor Who” and has apparently filmed his departure scene involving regeneration. Additionally, there are questions about whether the show will carry on streaming on Disney+ beyond its second season.
A spokesman for the BBC has denied cancellation rumors:
Contrary to some rumors, the show Doctor Who has not been canceled. We’ll determine the fate of season 3 only after season 2 has aired. The agreement with Disney+ includes 26 episodes, and we have yet to air half of them. Regarding any speculation about the Doctor’s future adventures, we typically don’t discuss those in advance.
