The viewing figures of Ncuti’s debut series last year had a paltry two to three million tuning in on Saturday nightsCredit: BBCWelcome, loyal viewers of 62 years, to the modern-day version of Doctor Who — a programme the BBC has locked in a woke choke with scripts that now read like suicide notes.
The Sun exclusively revealed yesterday how the show was facing the axe, with lead star Ncuti Gatwa poised to quit and staff on the show now working on the basis that it won’t be returning.
The BBC seems to have managed the same feat it did with A Question of Sport and Football Focus and trashing TV classics with wokery.
They maintain no decision has been taken on its future, and corporation chiefs say no commitments will be made until the second series under the new time lord airs later this year.
But it will need to perform a spectacular U-turn based on the viewing figures of Ncuti’s debut series last year which had a paltry two to three million tuning in on Saturday nights.
Compare that to the eight-figure levels that used to tune in for the show under favourites David Tennant and Matt Smith.
And don’t let the Beeb hoodwink you into believing that the on-the-night viewership is an irrelevant figure in the age of catch-up and on-demand.
Like Strictly Come Dancing, Doctor Who is supposed to be a BBC blockbuster providing event TV that the whole family sit down at the same time on a weekend to watch.
But as we reach peak wokery, the show’s hit rock bottom and the viewers are turning off in droves. Who can blame them?
As a kid watching Doctor Who, I’d quiver behind a cushion in fear of Davros and the cybermen. Now I do the same for fear of the blistering sermon screaming at me from my telly.
Doctor Who returns in Christmas Special Joy to the WorldEven more frustrating is the fact that fans were already complaining about the PC storylines under Jodie Whittaker and showrunner Chris Chibnall from 2018 to 2022.
But then when Russell T Davies took over as show boss, he seemed to double down on the wokery.
Like millions of viewers who’ve now turned their backs on the programme, I’m not racist, homophobic, transphobic or xenophobic.
What I am is someone who wants Doctor Who to be a fight between a good guy (or gal) and some evil monsters who want to destroy the universe.
I don’t even mind a subliminal message simmering under the surface — but what I do mind is a politically correct agenda being forced down my throat like a goose destined to be foie gras.
For the Beeb bosses who just don’t understand what the problem is here, there’s one simple message: Give us our Doctor Who back, please.
I don’t particularly care what the time lord’s racial origin is, or their sexuality, or their gender for that matter — he or she just has to be an eccentric genius dazzling us with bonkers gadgets and sci-fi gibberish.
He isn’t a lecturer taking a seminar in socio-political studies at a left-wing polytechnic — he’s just an intergalactic sheriff policing the universe.
And if you still don’t believe Doctor Who is being choked by wokery, just consider these storylines from Doctor Who over the past five years . . .

The doctor lands on a mysterious, desolate planet, called Orphan 55, which turns out to be Earth in the futureCredit: BBCThe doctor lands on a mysterious, desolate planet filled with terrifying, mutated creatures. Any humans are forced to live in a small enclosed space due to the toxic atmosphere.
But this dead world, called Orphan 55, turns out to be Earth in the future after its been ravaged by ecological disaster and nuclear war. Talking to her companions from the 21st Century, the doctor says: "It's one possible future, it's one timeline.
"Unless people face facts and change catastrophe is coming. But it's not decided.
"The future is not fixed. Humans, I think you forget how powerful you are. People can save planets or wreck them. That's the choice."

Doctor Who, then Jodie Whittaker, tackled the thorny topic of prejudice after a year dominated by the Black Lives Matter protestsCredit: PAAfter a year dominated by the Black Lives Matter protests, Doctor Who appeared to tackle the thorny topic of prejudice.
The episode featured a minority of Daleks who were victimised by the wider Dalek community because they consider them to be "genetically impure."
In an impassioned speech, the then doctor Jodie Whittaker explains: “Daleks mean hate - and like hate they will spread if they’re not stopped.”
She also highlights the hypocrisy often involved in any form of prejudice, even one shown by groups of fictional aliens wheeled around in metal bins.
“For a race born out of mutation," she explains. "They’re pretty obsessed with purity."

Trans character Rose, played by Yasmin Finney, and alien creature The MeepCredit: PAWhen aliens threaten to destroy London by opening up a giant fiery chasm through the capital, it isn't the doctor, played by David Tennant, who can rescue the city, it's Donna Noble's daughter, Rose.
Because the character, played by Yasmin Finney, is trans she has a similar genetic make up as the doctor - who can move from male to female - and therefore plug into life-saving, extra terrestrial technology.
The episode also features a scene in which the doctor is scolded by Rose for referring to the alien creature, The Meep, as a male. The doctor says: "True.
Yes, sorry. Good point...are you a he or she or they?" To which the creature replies: "My chosen pronoun is the definite article."

David Tennant, who plays Doctor Who, ends up casually coming out to his companion Donna Noble, played by Catherine TateCredit: BBCAfter a meeting with Sir Isaac Newton, played by It's Sin actor Nathaniel Curtis, the doctor, now played by David Tennant, realises he has a bit of crush on the famous physicist.
Realising he's regenerated into a gay man, he ends up casually coming out to his companion Donna Noble, played by Catherine Tate.
It begins on board an alien spacecraft when she asks: “Was it me or was Sir Isaac Newton hot?” The Doctor replies: “He was, wasn’t he? SO hot. Is that who I am now?”
Donna realises what he's saying and suggests she probably knew the truth all along, adding: “Well, it was never that far from the surface, I thought.”

One Doctor Who episode takes a huge swipe at ChristianityCredit: BBCThe doctor finds himself on a planet called Kastarion 3, where a war is apparently being fought between Christian men and women and an enemy that doesn't actually exist.
It turns out the conflict is entirely fabricated and the illusion is just a way to make money out of people's misery by selling arms. The episode takes a huge swipe at Christianity - and no other religion - for playing its part in brainwashing its troops.
The doctor says: "Most armies would notice they were fighting smoke and shadows but not this lot. You know why? because they have faith. Faith. The magic word that keeps you never having to think for yourself."

Former RuPaul's Drag race winner, Jinkx Monsoon gets a starring role in an episode playing arch villain MaestroCredit: BBCAmerican drag artist and former RuPaul's Drag race winner, Jinkx Monsoon gets a starring role in this episode playing arch villain Maestro.
The doctor and his companion Ruby Sunday, played by Millie Gibson, go to see the British rock band the Beatles in 1963, only to find that the world has mysteriously lost interest in music.
Maestro, they discover, is summoned by playing The devil's chord and sucks up the essence of music. She says: "Every song that goes unsung feeds me.
"I get stronger and stronger until I can reach out and steal the music of the spheres. Then, the universe will stop turning." But that still doesn't explain why Maestro was played by a drag artist.
