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.
