The 13th Dr Who Cares

AllForIt

Since the BBC reinvented Dr Who a few years ago I have found it totally cringeworthy the way they promote this series as if it were a top quality show. Now I have no problem with anyone being a fan but as I said the BBC promote this show as if it were the best thing ever. Pa lease.

Over the years when a new Dr is announced the BBC have made a big hoo haa about it, even mentioning it on their news channel as if such a thing is worthy of a segment in a serious news broadcast. All done in an attempt to promote the show further. They also seem to want to convince their fans that Dr Who is some kind of world wide success, which it isn't, by a long shot.

This year they've gone even more hysterical by advertising that the new Dr Who would be announced after the Wimbledon Final and rumors were that the 13th Dr would be a woman and it will indeed be a woman. As if the whole world was waiting with baited breath for this announcement. And wow just wow the Dr is a Woman as if this announcement signals the ultimate liberation of women.

What a cynical strategy by the BBC to promote this mediocre series. I doubt there is any thinking woman who could care less about this development. Next series I suppose we should expect the first black Dr who, then the first Muslim lesbian Dr Who, and so on.

I think the BBC should focus on employing better script writers instead of all this equal opportunities virtue signaling.
