Formerly Beloved British Series "Doctor Who" Is Now So Toxically Woke and Unpopular That No Actors Are Willing to Step Into the Role
Formerly Beloved British Car Brand Jaguar Loses 99.4% Of Its Profit Year-Over-Year

Who can say why. It's all a mystery.

The role has been cursed by wokeness, and now no actors want to play Doctor Who, because they don't want to be associated with the "baggage" of the previous seasons of woke poison.

Although the show is currently on a long unplanned hiatus, the BBC had planned a "Christmas" special-- which became a New Years Special during its woke years because the show didn't want to acknowledge Christmas*. But even the "Christmas" special is in doubt because they just can't find an actor to play Doctor Who.

This is probably due to the fact that they are determined to do more woke gender- and race-bending stunt casting but the potential DEI Doctors don't want to jump into this garbage swamp at any price.

Everything woke turns to shit:

The Doctor Who Christmas special could be exterminated as the BBC is allegedly unable to find a new lead star.
The show is in a state of flux after ending its latest series in May 2025 with the sudden departure of Ncuti Gatwa as the Time Lord.

The ungrateful gay immigrant flounced when he was asked to be a jury panelist for their boradcast of Eurovision. The rumor that went around was that she refused because Israel was a contestant. The "official" reasons for the sudden withdraw all seem like bullshit -- too tired! his schedule is so hectic! -- and they keep changing. Soon after he was announced to no longer be Doctor Who. Which suggests the BBC was sick of him after his horrible ratings. People with horrible ratings don't get to act like entitled divas for long.

Former companion Billie Piper appeared to replace Gatwa as the show's new Doctor, when the character underwent a regeneration at the end of the episode.
Piper's inclusion was a "very last-minute" decision, according to the star, and came after a sharp decline in viewership ratings. The BBC opted to put the show on hiatus for the remainder of 2025, meaning there was no festive special, but showrunner Russell T Davies wrote an episode, starring Piper, that was due to be released this December.

However, it's been reported that the special might be scrapped as bosses are struggling to find anyone to take on the permanent role of the 16th Doctor, as Piper's appearance will be for one episode only. Instead, the BBC would forge ahead with a new series airing Easter 2027.
"With less than seven months to go, [the special] looks like it's hanging in the balance," a source told The Sun.
"The problem is that they have found it difficult to find anyone who'll take on the part of the 16th Time Lord, partly because it now feels like a role that comes with all the baggage of the most recent series.

The source added: "There are fears that even if they do manage to pull something together, it is going to be a poor cousin to previous Christmas specials which have always been adored by fans." The BBC declined to comment.

Have they?

...
"Rest assured, Doctor Who is going nowhere," Phillips said at the Edinburgh TV Festival, with Lindsay Salt, the BBC's director of drama, saying they were "committed" to bringing the show back.

What an unfortunate and revealing way to phrase that.

Phillips addressed a potential end to the BBC's "great" production partnership with Disney+, adding: "Going forward, with or without Disney, Doctor Who will still be on the BBC. The Tardis is going nowhere."

LOL. It's like she's subconsciously trying to admit the truth.

Gatwa, 32, said he left the programme because "it's a role that demands a lot of you, physically and emotionally and mentally".

And Judaically.

Speaking of woke disasters:

Remember Jaguar's aggressive repositioning from a car for wealthy men looking for a little speed and style to a transgender toaster for mentally-ill folx on welfare?

Their profits dropped, and this is not a joke, 99.4%.

The Guardian claims it's all due to Trump's tariffs (which are now a very reasonable 10%), a cyberattack, and generally poor conditions in the auto industry.

It has nothing to do with deciding that rich men were no longer the target clientele but rather transgender mutants living in public housing.

Jaguar Land Rover annual profit falls 99% after US tariffs and cyber-attack take toll
Britain's largest carmaker says sales also hit by competition in China as it publishes financial results

by Jasper Jolly
Jaguar Land Rover's annual profits have slumped by more than 99% as it counted the cost of US tariffs and a cyber-attack that disrupted its factories for months.
Britain's largest carmaker made only 14m pounds in profit before tax and exceptional items in the year to March, down from 2.5bn pounds the year before, according to financial results published on Thursday.
The manufacturer, which employs 33,000 people in the UK, suffered a series of blows as Donald Trump's automotive industry tariffs caused turmoil in its important export market.
That was followed by a damaging cyber-attack on the last day of August that forced the company to shut down most of its systems and factories for weeks, with disruption rippling on through the autumn.
The tariffs, which Trump raised to 25% before agreeing a deal for 10% for the UK, hit US demand for JLR's luxury cars, before supply of products was halted by the attack. As a result, revenues fell to 22.9bn pounds, down by more than a fifth compared with the previous 12 months.

Did anything happen to the brand that might have caused demand to fall, I wonder?

JLR also said sales were hit by competition in China, where a huge number of carmakers are introducing new products.
JLR was not alone in struggling with tough conditions within the automotive industry. The Japanese manufacturer Honda on Thursday reported its first annual loss in 70 years as a listed company.

Honda was forced to write off 1.6tn yen (7.4bn pounds) in investments in electric cars after Trump removed subsidies for battery vehicles, pushing it to a loss of 423bn yen.
PB Balaji, who took over as chief executive of JLR only a few weeks after the hack, said: "JLR faced a challenging year with revenue and profit affected by multiple headwinds, including a pause in production following the cyber incident."
However, he said the company "ended well" and had "come back resiliently".

Uh-huh. Your anus is very resilient but there's just so much pounding it can take.

No mention of this:

Jaguar's 'Copy Nothing' advert was unfiltered pure woke slop. https://t.co/5QdSFgoccb pic.twitter.com/SqMJmAOWMv

It's similar to what doomed Doctor Who -- a bunch of gays and women in the marketing department decided that Men Should Not Have Things Men Like and remade the dependable old British brands into Stuff for Gurlz Gays and Gender-Fluids.

It's also similar in that those gender-free space mutants look like Ncuti Gatwa's version of Doctor Who:

I'm sure it's all a coincidence, though.

Leftwing brokebrained woke women continue to be more passionate fans of male homosexuals than male homosexuals themselves, and the "Modern Audience" continues to not exist.

Yet the billions-losing incompetents pushing this same failed idea year after year still have their phoney-baloney jobs, Because DEI.

DEI doesn't care about results. DEI is your church now.

*TBH, the move away from a Christmas special to a New Years special could have worked. The Doctor Who "Christmas" episodes of course had nothing to do about Christ or Christianity, and just were about corporate Christmas decorations and theming. Like an episode where London is attacked by alien space ships that look like Christmas stars, or when London is attacked by plastic Santa Claus statues, or when Doctor Who meets the literal Santa Clause. (Well it's some kind of dream bullshit.)

After six of these dopey Christmas Parody episodes, I stopped watching them, even when I was still watching Doctor Who. I never saw the Narnia parody one, for example. I realized that all "Christmas" episodes they would be absurd garbage about killer reindeer robots from space or interdimensional strangle-serpents that looked like silver garland.

But the fact that they made this change during Peak Wokeness made everyone suspect that they were just hostile to Christianity and would rather do episodes about Eid instead.

The catastrophic drop in profits has nothing to do with Trump's tariffs, as other Euro luxury car companies made piles of money despite the tariffs. Lambo had a record year despite the tariffs. So the Guardian is full of shit.

But ... I wish it were true! Jag is a foreign company owned 100% by Indians (Tata). Who gives a shit about the profits of Indian companies who are trying to fuck us in the ass with cheap labor and punitive tariffs on our products? Fuck them.

25 The interesting thing is that British entertainment is just...deeply progressive. They actively and institutionally protect pedophiles (still do, apparently, David Walliams...look him up, or don't) and have been pushing racial quotas that make no sense for decades now.

The culture is suffused with people who think that audiences who complain about woke casting are backwards hicks with no power because they haven't managed to change anything at the BBC ever.

And, you have young actors who would be looking at regular paychecks for years just taking on the role which could lead to Matt Smith/David Tennant levels of stardom.

They can't find someone in that world to take on the role because of internet trolls against the last two Doctors?

That's...fascinating.

The problem with tap water for fine culinary use like coffee is that most municipalities don't bother making the water potable by filtration, but by dumping a shitload of cheap chlorine into the water plant. It makes the water safe, but you can taste and smell the chlorine right out of the faucet, and it generally doesn't react well with food and especially with coffee.

Oh yes, I know their husbands try to get their butch up by driving the Subaru to the gym,getting their lattes with an extra shot and maybe volunteering at the local homeless shelter while regaling all the old ladies with stories of their perceived manliness. But in the end they are a bunch of limp, pussified, wimpy spaghetti men unable to satisfy their wives.

Which is where I come in.

I hope his happens forever. Because it results in a lot of women in bars looking to meet a Mr Winkie who can stay stiff for more than five minutes. There is an endless supply of these women who tell their husbands they’re on a business trip. Meanwhile they’re with me taking various trips through the Kama Sutra and expounding, after riding me like a rodeo bull, how their husbands, who they don’t realize they turned into obedient wimps, would never ride them like a birthday pony, and then turn them over for another round of doggie style.

Keep them wimpy, AWFL’s, and I’ll keep you filled like a guy in the Dunkin’ Donuts factory.

226 Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor had a few good Christmas Specials.

I remember one on a planet with flying great white sharks that randomly attacked people.

Then the first Special with Clara Osborne had the haunted pond that turned into a frozen ghost that was pretty cool.

They still had some imaginative episodes not too long ago (15 years).

I've often thought the 'best' thing we could do for Hollywood, the BBC, CBC, etc is to start a website movement.

1. We're going to refuse to watch any shows with any woke crap.

2. We won't watch new movies or shows until they are fully complete to avoid the habit of inserting woke late. When a show is done and completely free of woke, it's on the watchlist.

266 We watched the renewed Dr Who from Eccleston and Rose right on through where Peter Capaldi was reborn as a female. I'd pretty much lost hope for the series before that, especially after the moon turned out to be a giant dragon's egg. (An episode to call a dream, if there ever was one.)

As I recall the final Capaldi episode ended with the gal falling out of the flying Tardis. Good, I thought. I can presume the Doctor is dead. And he/she was to me after that.

If they could retro-de-canonize the last two doctors, maybe I'd take another look. Maybe. If they fired all the folks who ruined it.

304 the Land Rover brand is a gigantic steaming pile on the quality front.

Which is sad, because they look great! I love the design, especially of the full-size one.

Hollywood needs to fire a lot of people and start over. The L.A./London bubble prevents any of them from doing anything anti-woke, because their jobs depend on it.

There are so many creative associations and unions with so many woke rules embedded in the system, nothing short of bankruptcy will wake these people up to reality at this point.

Take Nolan’s Odyssey movie for instance.
Same shit, different year.

311 Character named Kevin is usually a faggot or dies in the first third of the movie.

314 Nobody tell him that most bottled water is just filtered municipal water with some calcium and magnesium compounds added.

Though I will admit that filtering it does make the tea taste better.

Filtering, reverse osmosis, filters out the hormones, antibiotics and other man made chemicals.

315 Moffat was very obviously tired and out of ideas more than a season before he stopped.

A little R&R can do wonders for writers block.

Yeah, I doubt he’d go back anyhow.

316 Well there was already PCU

PCU was great. It re-framed "Afternoon Delight" really well too.

317 I agree with Hadrian.

318 The problem with tap water for fine culinary use like coffee is that most municipalities don't bother making the water potable by filtration, but by dumping a shitload of cheap chlorine into the water plant. It makes the water safe, but you can taste and smell the chlorine right out of the faucet, and it generally doesn't react well with food and especially with coffee.

One of my consulting jobs was at a silicon wafer plant. During the tour, the water quality guy went on a tirade about the quality of the local municipal water and how it was crap and how much more purification the plant had to do.

We had already switched to bottled spring water by then but it was nice to have it confirmed.

319 Old-school chlorine would evaporate from water after a couple of days. These days, water utilities use chloramine, which doesn't.

That's why you have to treat water if you're going to use it in an aquarium.
