We’ve had many TV Guides with Jodie on the cover and from I saw most have the show as pick of the day. This is from my mum’s magazine. TBH I’m not sure what some #DoctorWho fans think promotion is? Jodie doing a door-to-door with a Sea Devil? 😂

The trailer was just on BBC One again #DoctorWho

@GRALCreates Exactly. I think that the billboards that promoted Rose, and the blanket coverage of Day of the Doctor raised expectations for ‘standard’ episodes and specials. The BBC aren’t allowed to promote in the same way (although I think they could TRY to be more innovative in promotion).

@leighwood79 Yeah there’s only so much they can do, and obviously it’s not as easy for them as it is for Netflix to get stars on ITV shows like This Morning

@GRALCreates I think when we talk about promotion, it's not just the trailer. For example in terms of appearances on other TV shows it was just Mandip on Morning Live. No-one went on Breakfast, One Show, Blue Peter, radio etc.

@TheCyberdevil But then do they usually? I don’t think anyone did for NYD. Obviously there are levels are publicity they’d do, but this idea that “they didn’t do enough” always baffles me when there’s a trailer on what felt like every hour at least

@GRALCreates So you agree that the reason the ratings are bad is because it's been a bad show for at least 4 years?

@endoubleyewoh I’m just saying that it’s had a lot of publicity

@GRALCreates Tbh for me I forgot it was on. I knew it was coming though. I turned my TV on and saw a glimpse of it and went "oh shit Doctor who is on." Put the iPlayer on and watched it from the start. I saw a lot of trailers on Twitter and Facebook.

@GRALCreates It’s almost like they don’t know what they are talking about.

@GRALCreates As someone who barely watches live TV myself, I was wondering whether this criticism actually held up. People who don't watch live TV complaining that not enough people watch live TV.

@GRALCreates They don't watch live then but bitch about ratings that are meaningless.

@GRALCreates No good advertising on the BBC if those people don't watch the BBC. Other shows seem to be massively out there. I don't have Netflix but see so much about Bridgerton etc for example

@GRALCreates If only we lived in a world capable of counting online views…with exec’s willing to do so. I’d love for the show to get great numbers (again). That takes aiming at a united audience. Production decided to divide the audience years ago. Now, this.

@GRALCreates It was hardly promoted at all on the ABC in Australia, until last week and is not on the main channel anymore, it's on one of the sub channels. So disappointing.

@GRALCreates I don't watch live, scheduled TV. So I've no idea what the promotion was like. So I've made no comment about it.

@GRALCreates It’s just one of the many excuses given to try and justify a low overnight figure, the reality is it’s no longer one of the BBC’s flagships, three years of bad writing and a leader actress who just hasn’t the range to bring anything to the part are all to blame.

@GRALCreates Gary it was just rubbish and people have lost interests I did watch it and bored me … hope RTD can pull it back

@GRALCreates I still not seen the episode yet. I hardly watch live TV 📺 myself. Changed my viewing habits as long back as when video came about.
