All of the above. Season 24 was a fucking mess for many, many reasons.

That report spells it out: it's not just "The BBC hated the show". The UK television audience in general just plain did not like it anymore.

Well I can imagine in the minds of the viewers the show kept pissing them off. First Tom Baker leaves, which I have to imagine wouldn't have been totally unexpected but still hard for the younger viewers.

Then they crowd the TARDIS.

Then they shove out an "American" companion who's annoying.

Then they cast a mean Doctor who tries to kill her.

Then they saddle the show with boring-ass scripts.

Then they cast Bonnie Langford.

Then they commission "Time and the Rani".

I'm not gonna leap onto the JNT hatedom bandwagon, but I can follow the logic that he lead to the downfall of the show.

Has there been a significant character death in the Moffat era which hasn't been undone? I guess this could be the Zygon Osgood, and truth be told I like Osgood a lot and am not sorry to hear she's coming back, but death has no stakes in Doctor Who anymore.
