After the complete failure of the new Doctor Who episodes “Space Babies” and “The Devil’s Chord,” the cast and crew of the BBC-turned Disney+ show have gone on record trying to do damage control and gaslight fans about the reception. Russell T. Davies went to Collider to pitch his narrative that identity politics supersedes everything and said some insane things that show his intent has nothing to do with making the current iteration of Doctor Who a great show.
Prior to the new episodes launch which they’re oddly calling “season 1” even though Doctor Who is a show that’s been around for sixty years, Russell T. Davies and Ncuti Gatwa did a press tour to burn bridges with fans. The content of the interviews consisted of Ncuti Gatwa telling viewers not to watch Doctor Who if they’re offended by direction changes and implying they’re bigots tying his narrative to “white mediocrity.”
Meanwhile, Russell T. Davies made it clear the show would put extreme leftist politics over quality. Even the sonic screwdriver suffered because it was considered too much like a gun, and so it became the ridiculous redesign that fans online mock as looking like a sex toy. He claimed the show would venture into pushing the LGBTQ agenda and pro-abortion messages and made multiple statements that he would knowingly upset fans.
After Ncuti Gatwa went out and said “it’s sad” people aren’t watching the show, literally after telling fans to tune out, now Russell T. Davies is going further as apparently he feels he’s invincible with the new episodes being out.
The Collider interview opened with Russell T. Davies going on about Star Trek, and specifically how Discovery and Strange New Worlds are his inspiration. “I love the old show, I always watched the old show, but when Star Trek: Discovery came along I finally became a proper fan, and now I’m devoted with Picard and Strange New Worlds, and frankly the fact that I’m not married to Captain Pike is a major problem in my life. And I look to you collider to put it right… I love that man. Oh god he’s beautiful, handsome man, and what a great name.”
He also revealed that he loves them for their agenda, something Star Trek fans hate, saying, “There’s something so 2024 about them.”
The interviewer then boasted about how she was queer and asked him about putting in the agenda into the shows. “It’s almost not that deliberate, that’s just the life that I lead,” Russell T. Davies said, confirming Doctor Who is really now about a self-insert like so much bad modern writing.

Even though fans know it feels forced with its terrible dialogue shoehorning political topics into every moment of Doctor Who, Russell T. Davies continued saying, “It just feels natural. This is the world. It’s 2024 and we’re all embracing it.”
He also doubled down on a grooming agenda of children, which he said was part of what he wanted to do in Doctor Who in prior interviews, as he stated, “We now have people who can come out in schools and be happy and thrive, which when I was that age was literally impossible.”
Finally, Russell T. Davies confirmed he would be bringing back the transgender “Rose” for the new show’s season finale, much to fans’ chagrin.
Even with poor ratings and fan reaction, Russell T. Davies is proud of destroying the Doctor Who legacy with extremist politics and evil gender ideology. His hubris is on full display in the interview and there doesn’t seem to be a path back to normalcy.

Russell T. Davies belongs in jail at this rate.
They can make UK TV owners pay for this rubbish, but they can’t make us watch it.
