New Doctor a ratings Failure
The woke Doctor Who reboot led by Ncuti Gatwa and Russel T Davies has lost over 2 million viewers, according to the UK overnight ratings system, as the show continues its nosedive from the Christmas Special and the three 60th Anniversary specials that aired in 2023, as well as the downfall of the Chris Chibnall and Jodie Whittaker era.
Doctor Who Series 14 debuted the first two episodes on Saturday, May 11, with the first episode, “Space Babies,” bringing in 2.6 million viewers.
However, 200K of the fans didn’t stick around for the second episode, “The Devil’s Chord,” as only 2.4 million viewers tuned in.
The numbers are significantly down from the 2023 Christmas Special – already the lowest rated Doctor Who Christmas Special – of 4.73 million viewers.
The numbers are also down a lot from the first 2023 special featuring the return of David Tennant that drew in 5.08 million viewers, with the three specials the lowest rated of Tennant’s career.
