Writer and showrunner Russell T Davies asks the BBC to stop promoting Doctor Who on the social media platform X, which he describes as a “hate platform.” In his request, Davies argues that the BBC should reconsider using the site for official publicity for the long-running programme. He links the platform’s reputation and content environment to the decision-making around how the BBC distributes promotion for its productions.
The request comes as Davies continues to speak publicly about where major media organisations place their content and how those platforms are perceived by users. It also reflects wider discussions about platform responsibility and the steps broadcasters take to avoid associating with environments they regard as harmful.
No single source provided additional details about whether the BBC has responded, whether specific posts were removed, or what alternative channels might be used. The reports focus on Davies’s call for the BBC to change its approach to Doctor Who promotion on X.
