Here's another good idea for "Dr Who". Inter marriage between the Ice Warriors and the Weeping Angels

First of all, I stopped watching Dr Who in the early 80s - the last time it could ever be described as remotely "scary".
Since then its gotten worse and worse and in recent years has just blended into the wallpaper - if Dr Who were a colour it would be beige. Now as far as this gender re-assignment goes, are we really surprised? Its the BBC. Look who runs the BBC now, their agenda is PC driven, they don't give a s**t about viewers. As others have said, they could have just created a spin-off or a brand new sci-fi show with a female lead. But no, that is not their agenda. They would much rather try and rewrite history and airbrush tradition. As for all the "men" defending it, most are completely dishonest about it, and afraid to voice there real opinion for fear of their wives/girlfriend/female friends/colleagues accusing them of being sexist. |

So the people laughing at the middle aged men getting all hot under the colour that a character who was always a camp man is now a woman are the real sexists?
The thread that keeps on giving. |

Most young people who are probably the target audience don't seem to care so why all the moaning and gnashing of teeth on here

I protest. As a member of the LGBT gang, I could have done it. In heels too - not this drab dressing down carp.

what if the doctor regenerated as a five year old?
Or a hairy monkey man, the missing link. or an old senile woman with incontinence issues? |

The Dr defeated the Cybermen when she suddenly wet herself, causing them to short-circuit.

Could be the beginning of the end of half of the Oscars acting awards ( 'best supporting actor/actress', 'best actor/actress' )
And a Welsh tv series could be the catalyst for it. |

is it just me that has no interest in this rubbish

I haven't watched it since the early 80's when it was enjoyable enough in a fun way, and couldn't give a damn whether the doctor is a woman or not. What I do find annoying is that these lucrative, high-profile roles always seem to be shared out among a right-on bunch of luvvies who have "enormous respect and love for one another", no matter how wooden and over-rated their acting is. Broadchurch was over-rated cr@p, with some of the most annoying and unbelievable characters I've seen in a long time. Line of Duty was just as bad! I'm sure there must be money to be made on these luvvy-role markets, if you are masochistic enough to sit through, the garbage that BBC and ITV refer to as "great drama", and can spot the signs, and ignore the red herrings, but life's too short' imo.

I didn't realise Phoebe from Fleabag was high up the betting for the gig. To be fair, if she'd got it they may well have got me interested. Fleabag probably the funniest UK programme for a long, long time.

Unbelievable. Just another little erosion of our knobs. |

Should have been Florence Nightingale. A revolution in nursing vs someone who writes stories.

"character who was always camp"
what utter sh11te you talk, PP.  |
|
By:
Seriously?
The only one who looked vaguely - ahem - "tough" was Eccleston. Until he opened his mouth that is. Capaldi, Smith, Tennant, McCoy, McCoy ffs, Baker, Davison. Camper than a row of pink tents. But fair enough, if you ignore the last 8 or so actors and anything that happened since say 1980 onwards then you're right. Doctor Who is the ultimate in butch manliness and this is an affront to masculinity! |

By:
Jodie Whittaker is a brilliant actress, great choice for first female Dr Who, the main job is now the writers.

Captain Jack Harkness was the flag, yohoo, yohoo, boys we're here!!
Doctor? are you gay too? give me a kiss doctor. I knew at that point, one day the girls would have the role. I wrote it off as a bad dream... the nightmare is here. Every character now will be played by women. They've inverted Shakespeare already. given time Jesse Bourne and Jamelia Bond will be created. You can't play golf without a woman invading the space. They have to be in your face 24 hours a day. |

Interesting of you to mention Shakespeare after we had centuries of women not being allowed to play female roles in his plays.

Gay writing staff, so it's gay stories. Doctor Who is all gay, all day.

By:
But zorro, if you don't want to watch it then don't watch it. No-one's forcing you to. I'm sure there's plenty other sci-fi shows aimed at children with more masculine characters that you could watch.

Unbelievable. Just another little erosion of our knobs. Churchill replaced Elizabeth Fry on the £5 note, so we are back where we started. Churchill was in Doctor Who using daleks to shoot down German bombers -- not sure about the other three. |

Baker ?? the man's eccentric FFS ! nowt camp about that.
McCoy - well done, there's one Peter Capaldi - did he play it camp? I don't know, I've never seen him in Dr Who. But I do know he's not a camp actor. Smith - is he gay maybe? I don't know. might have to concede that one. Tennant is not camp, he's just a Scottish lovey, I can see how you'd get confused tho. Davison - bit wimpy, not camp - big difference. By my reckoning you've got 2 or 3 possible camp doctor Who's (at most). Out of how many? 13, 14 ? I rest my case m'lud  |

Doctor Who - in all space time no episode with the wife?
He had a girl? but it's suspicious. did he ever kiss a woman? It's the sex change story.. it's not that it's a woman who plays him. It's a FK you to the whole of the back catalogue of stories. let's take a female character like Jane in tarzan and make her a man. what about Jodie foster in the accused a man. Miss marple or Mrs peel in the avengers. It's never been in the canon of the stories till they started the gay quest stories of recent years. No sex change timelords in the Tom Baker years? Anything in prime time tv now is under a subversion protocol. They did it to startrek (destroyed the timeline, destroyed vulcan) They made Ironside a black dude. they made Kojak a black dude. they like to dismantle past characters an ruin them. The biggest mind FK was mission Impossible... you grow up watching Jim Phelps (peter graves)in 143 episodes - fighting dictators and corruption - 143 hours of being a good guy. Some twit does the remake and makes Jim a complete arrsewhole. |

Peter Capaldi, the outgoing star of Doctor Who, was paid between £200,000 and £250,000.

Couldn't agree more ...never watch the c rap any more. |

Peter Capaldi only paid 250,000? is that per episode?
If it's yearly it's cheap. with DVD sales. because the friends comedy show people were getting paid per episode. Ashton Kutcher remains the top paid actor in prime time with $750,000 an episode for his role on "Two and a Half Men." "NCIS" star Mark Harmon is still the salary champ in drama, with $525,000 an episode plus a piece of the show's profits |
