You have fun pretending the show is failing. We'll see you back here
next season, saying for the eighth time how THIS time you're REALLY
SURE it's gonna be cancelled. Heck, if you just say it every day,
maybe SOME DAY it'll come true. Just clap your hands if you believe.

What these figures show is the BBC's total incompetence at scheduling.

Normally the show that goes on just before the Eurovision Song Contest gets
the lowest viewers of the entire season. This time the viewers actually rose
for that one meaning that the hour long Lottery rubbish which they started
putting on after Doctor Who ended was responsible for the fall in viewing
figures since nobody wants to watch mind numbing crap like that and
therefore they won't tune in early to watch it like the did for the
Eurovision. Had the 15 minute version of the lottery rubbish been put after
the Eurovsion then even more people would have seen the season finale.

Other factors driving away viewers from BBC1 at this time include the fact
that the news and regional news were shown straight before Doctor Who
instead of something which attracts family viewers like Total Wipeout. The
Pointless crap that Total Wipeout was replaced with doesn't attract a family
audience including children, because it's a show for retarded middleaged
housewives just like the lottery rubbish.

What the BBC really should have done is what they did in 2005 with Graham
Norton and put The Voice on straight before Doctor Who and created a family
afternoon and evening schedule for Saturdays.

Or doing something else and watching nothing at all considering the BBC's
moronic anti-family orientated and anti-male androphobic scheduling is
driving people away from watching live TV.

> tell a similar story.

No. They show that there's virtually no difference between this year and
previous years at the same time. People have decided they don't want to
spend all day indoors watching androphobic and familiaphobic crap like
Pointless, the Lottery rubbish and Casualty so have decided to watch Doctor
Who at a time of their own choosing instead.

That might explain the way you post Yads, but don't assume everyone else

Disastrous, isn't it. Explains why the BBC decided not to commission an 8th
series. Oh look - the BBC just confirmed an 8th series has been
commissioned.

How many years now have you been predicting the end of the show? Still
hasn't happened. You must be gutted...

Say you are right....

What kind of person delights in the decline of something millions of
people enjoy?

The, what kind of person insults those people with name calling?

Even if you are correct, who would want you in their lives? What use are
you? Why are you even alive?
