DOCTOR Who has lost a quarter of its viewers as many blast "politically correct" storylines since Jodie Whittaker entered the Tardis.

The first female Time Lord's debut last month attracted an average audience of 8.2million but that plunged to 6.1million on Sunday.

5 Fans have voiced their outrage at the new episodes claiming the BBC are trying too hard to be PC

Fans complained of being bombarded by preachy, serious messages instead of sci-fi entertainment.

Producers, under new boss Chris Chibnall, have opted to tackle issues such as racism as Jodie, 36, travelled back to meet civil rights icon Rosa Parks in the US in 1955.

Next week they have British Imperialism in their sights in 1947 India.

And the latest episode explored gender with a pregnant man giving birth.

A viewer tweeted: "That's the last episode I'll be watching. I don't watch this type of TV show to get subliminal PC lectures, it's supposed to be entertainment."

The BBC hoped to boost ratings which slumped under Jodie's predecessor Peter Capaldi. But they dipped to 5.9million in parts of Sunday's episode.

The Beeb had high hopes of boosting the flagging viewing figures of Doctor Who when Peter Capaldi, 59, had the role. This year the corporation even moved the show from Saturday to Sunday nights in the hope it might attract more viewers.
