I long to live in a world where ppl realise that to judge doctor who's ratings, you need to compare them to the other shows airing with it Today, not to its own ratings 15 years ago.

Tv live ratings have gone down In General, If you compare them to that of 20 years ago the figure is going to tank. To judge if a TV show is doing okay you judge it by comparing it to its compatriots, not itself of the past.

Btw. 13's era of dw was one of their most successful fiction shows, in context. It was not flailing for survival.

Also. It's 2023. iPlayer viewings are kind of important 🙃 kind of didn't Have iPlayer when nu!who started up and Had to watch it live, which automatically boosts live viewer figures like jfc, yes I know some of you are young but fucking hell I still had dial up years after they rebooted dw 🤣 if I missed it I missed it

#dw shit #this isn't That hard of q concept is it? #i promise u the whole entirely of rtd's first shebang there was no iplayer in my house at least #ratings? were not a problem for 13 and stop trying to make them one #it'd be an issue if the show ratings tanked when no Other shows had ratings dips #but that has not happened 🖖 #also a new doctor Always boosts the figures and then theh drop a bit again bc people tune back out #so i expect a surge and then a drop again in the future bc that's what always happens
