     alright I see two explanations: 1. s14 was the first season to be in disney+ so in order not to confuse people it was rebranded s1. "Furthermore, Disney does not currently own the streaming rights to seasons 1-13 of the revival, so Gatwa's new numbering may help attract audiences who may be resistant to using multiple services just to catch up with what came before." https://screenrant.com/doctor-who-season-14-ncuti-gatwa-numbering-change/ 2. it's a woke reboot "There is no doubt that season 14 represents a fresh era for the franchise, with the first Black Doctor and the exploration of more inclusive themes, so changing the numbering honors these achievements." https://screenrant.com/doctor-who-season-1-reboot-ncuti-gatwa-era-explained-russell-t-davies/

     @quasi It needs booting into the sun. The latest team of writers are all diversity hires.

     @quasi Either way, it's a load of shite now. I started watching it in the 60s as a young child and had no problem with a female or black incarnation - they're a timelord and can do what they like, it's just all the virtue signaling crap and all the sanctimonious lectures they keep ramming down our throats. No matter how they change episode or series numbers, people are just sick of it.
