I’m afraid I can’t watch it anymore, not since it turned into Dr Woke. I miss those classic days of Baker and Pertwee and when the Daleks couldn’t negotiate stairs or the Cybermen terrified me!

Poorly acted poorly written and I can't stand Jodie Whittaker as the Dr.

It's been a looong time since the days of Pertwee and Baker (I assume Tom, not Colin?). And a long time (over 30 years) since the Daleks could negotiate stairs.
Did you not enjoy the earlier NuWho stuff with Eccleston, Tennant, Smith, etc?

The Bad Wolf stuff was brilliantly written, after Russell T Davies moved on things went down hill.

I can't say I noticed "Dr Woke" during Matt Smith's run?
People complained that they didn't like Moffat's writing and couldn't understand some of his stories, but I don't remember there being a big "woke" backlash during that time? That only seems to have happened in the last couple of years since Chibnall became showrunner. Bad Wolf was the first series of NuWho. RTD stayed on for another 3 years after that. I enjoyed a lot of Moffat's era - specifically Matt Smith's stuff. I loved Moffat's style of writing and it's cleverness and felt he was better than RTD (although I enjoyed RTD's stuff too). Capaldi never really clicked with me though. Although I still definitely prefer his episodes compared to Whittaker's episodes. Interestingly, the average viewing figures for Jodie Whittaker's last series in 2018 were as high as for Chris Eccleston's run back in 2005. And they were higher than the first two series with David Tennant as the Doctor. So, it would seem, Doctor Who is still popular - even if it seems the opposite if you purely look at online comments (always a bad idea ).

Ah ok.
(It's just there was 10 years and two Doctors between the end of Tennant's "valiant job" and the "latest incumbent" )

I watched the first 3 episodes and then had to turn off a quarter of the way through episode 4, it was so boring!
I also like Bradley Walsh but think Jodie overacts and the stories are a bit pants!
