There's a new DWM out this Thursday! Issue 523 includes exclusive interviews with new executive producer Matt Strevens and Missy herself, Michelle Gomez. Plus Out of the TARDIS returns with Dan 'Strax' Starkey!

Ugh, a lot of Nu Who fanboy youtube celebrities.

Beth’s enthusiasm for Doctor Who is infectious, and her love for the show simply radiates from her! Fresh to classic Doctor Who, she brings new perspective and insight into aspects you may never have considered before. Particularly passionate about the representation of female characters, she has a great eye for interesting discussion points within the Time Team gang which we can’t wait for you to read. Constantly on the go with new ideas, projects and campaigns, her creativity as one half of The Time Ladies knows no bounds!

Actor, singer and student, Dan exudes talent just like his sister Claudia! He has a massive passion for Doctor Who and Marvel, and his loveable character will make him a Time Team favourite. His favourite female Who character is Sarah Jane Smith.

‘Especially her Sarah Jane Adventures era. She taught an entire generation that an action hero can be any gender, any age and that you can still save the day and be a darn cool person without using weapons or violence!’

It's embarrassing stuff.

Maybe it's time to give these people the victory they've been hankering for and archive all the good stuff until the socio-political climate reverts back to normality?

I just don't see any way of fighting back against the current postmodern, demographic-obsessed invasion of culture by the far left, especially when it's supported by a pyramid of university ideologues, media institutions and most of our elected representatives.

We are stuck in an iron cage of abstraction and relativism from which there is seemingly no escape.

And the BBC are just as adept at mismanaging the show as ever. But when was that ever any different?

Erikjust - Oh, I've been attacked, bullied, hounded, and cyber-mobbed by these pricks who are passing themselves off for Doctor Who fans these days! I actually WORKED for PBS here in America back in the 1980's promoting the show before the BBC pulled the rug out from under us. The show was doing well in reruns here in the states and everyone loved the show. I worked with actors, writers, directors, sfx crew, and show-runners from Doctor Who. It was a great time getting to know the people I'd watched on TV for so many years! It was very surreal!

At NO time was the idea of changing the Doctor into a woman ever mentioned or even whispered! The female fans loved the Doctor and were VERY satisfied with characters like the various companions, Romana, and even The Rani. They felt very well represented and didn't care about virtue signalling or other such nonsense! Everyone had a part to play and we all enjoyed it - those behind the camera and in front of it! I never heard any complaining about unfair treatment. Colin Baker knew he had to portray his Doctor as a prick because that was his character. It was in the script and people left it there.

This new toxic breed of fan is just appalling! I couldn't be more disgusted with them. They're rude, disrespectful, arrogant, and abrasive! It's THEIR way or the highway! What a load of crap! Doctor Who was NEVER about this kind of nonsense. The fans didn't treat each other like this. We all loved the show and no one felt under-represented because it wasn't even a thought! The only thing we focused on was the amazing set of adventures we would have in the big blue box! Seeing nasty people like this take over the show I dearly loved and put my heart and soul into is heartbreaking. I made friends with the people from the show. I'd had conversations with Colin Baker and Peter Davison back then. I know how much they love the show. But, I know how the BBC works. If they DARE speak out against the female Doctor or the current direction of the show, they will be blacklisted and their royalty/pension checks will be stopped. They rely on that money to live. So, they say things in support to appear to be accepting. Anything else would be a threat to their livelihood.

The BBC isn't a FRIEND to these SJW types. They are getting a lot of press over their controversial decisions and they can act every bit the rogues. It's all a farce. Controversy brings attention, which brings curiosity, which brings eyeballs - in their view. But, it's backfiring on them. They misjudge Doctor Who and it's fandom. Like the Star Trek and Star Wars fans, they will let it be WELL known if their show is being screwed with. The show BELONGS to the long-time fans who stuck with the show through thick and thin. It is THEIR money that bought the memorabilia, paid admission to conventions, and bought the DVDs. So, the BBC has a responsibility to THEM. The problem is that the BBC has it backwards. It will crumble on them. Just you watch.

More than half the fandom was alienated even before the Christmas Special aired. You can see it on Bowlestrek's ratings video. over 5 MILLION viewers haven't watched the last 3 seasons. They DO NOT like the direction the show is going. They DO NOT like that Peter Capaldi's Doctor was written in as a buffoon who had to have his companions save him and figure things out. That is their HERO: The Doctor. He's not an idiot and they won't stand for him being portrayed that way. I give the show a season/series or 2 more before either Whittaker leaves (along with Chibnall), or the show is put back on hiatus indefinitely.
