It happened at the end of Series 8 when Moffat turned the Master into a woman, insulted the memory of Nicholas Courtney by turning the Brigadier into a Cyberman, and turned the series woke. The ratings collapsed in half immediately afterwards, and there's no bullshit excuses like people turning to streaming. Steamed woke shows have no more viewers than my YouTube gaming channel which only has 200 subscribes. -- The True Doctor https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCngrZwoS0n21IRcXpKO79Lw "To be woke is to be uninformed which is exactly the opposite of what it stands for." -William Shatner
