July 15th, 2017 - 7:30pmI must explain better, when I say I’m all for equality but not in this show I mean it from the Doctors perspective only.
I still want equally but with other cast members.
Sorry about that, it did look bad after I read it back.

July 15th, 2017 - 7:27pmDr Who is a male character . I hate all this PC gender neutral rubbish. You have to say what are the motives of the PC brigade . They have chips on their shoulder about their own identities . I see nobody asking for famous female characters to be men in the future.Men are men and women are women and the world is a wonderful place for it. The BBC will lose the audience (and money) if a women is appointed – now why would they want to do that – it’s a big money spinner for them.
Why all this negative stuff about Kris Marshall – he will make a fantastic Doctor – he will be a warm cheeky character who can do fear , he doesn’t have to be lightweight. Capaldi did a great job but it didn’t quite work.

July 15th, 2017 - 7:23pmHow can it be comon sense when it could easily stop fans watching? You are right about females having decent representation, but not at the expense of ruining the longest science fiction show ever.
It does not have to happen, most will continue to watch if the Doctor stays male, many will stop if he changes gender! Including my wife who hates the very idea. And she is not alone.
If the Doctor ever finds his again would she still want to be married to him or her if he’s a she by then? Do his kids want two mum’s?
Is his wife still female?
All this gender change throws up too many questions.
I’m all for equality but it doesn’t have to be in this great show, the BBC have enough programmes with such issues represented.

July 15th, 2017 - 6:57pmQuick Poll:
Who does everyone want the next doctor to be? Do you have any opinions on whether they should be male of female?
Doctor Stu
July 15th, 2017 - 6:44pmI hate that term PC, being PC is banning children off playgrounds in fear they’ll hurt themselves being PC is not ensuring women have decent representation that’s just common sense and the way it should be, there is nothing wrong with a woman playing The Doctor
The Jamie
July 15th, 2017 - 6:41pmI hate the people wanting the doctor to be female for a laugh or to watch fans who don’t want a female to get mad at it
Picking a doctor is a serious thing and is not a thing to joke at because if they don’t pick someone good it lead to them to cancel the show.What I don’t like is people saying it is not right for people to want him to stay a male but it is right to say he should be a female. Also we call him a mad man with a box not a mad person with a box.
Ps People are saying it will be a woman because of the advert but they are looking at things that are not there and by looking at the advert you could say it is a man because it is after the men’s final
you can’t guess by the advert but in the name of rassilon it better not be a female

July 15th, 2017 - 4:46pmWell, as far as I’m aware, Kris Marshall isn’t currently in any stage or tv production at present. So he is definitely available for the role. I’ll be surprised if isn’t him.
Dalek Eye Stalk
July 15th, 2017 - 4:43pmCount him out!
fiona ting

July 15th, 2017 - 3:58pmSpot on Adam, well said.
Exterminator
July 15th, 2017 - 3:24pmNot if they were both wearing spacesuits or something? It could happen in the future?

July 15th, 2017 - 2:24pmCount arthur strong for new doctor
The Outcast
July 15th, 2017 - 1:24pmBut even some of those Female fans don’t want a female Doctor. The gender of the viewer shouldn’t matter in Doctor Who. It is a show for everyone, atleast, it should be.
The Outcast
July 15th, 2017 - 1:22pmI was only joking about the 10th Doctor bit, but I have actually seen tweets assuming he’ll be the next Doctor because of that moment. :/
The Moffat Paradox
July 15th, 2017 - 12:01pmKnow perfectly well there are plenty of female fans but Jon Pertwee did say it tends to be” more of a male sport”.
Adam
July 15th, 2017 - 11:45amYep my money’s on young Luke…he’s the ‘Tennant type’ the BBC want and a very fine actor with universal appeal…
Adam
July 15th, 2017 - 11:36amIt was never teased since the 80s…that was just an ‘off the cuff’ remark made by Tom when he left the role..I don’t want none of that ‘PC’ gender bending nonsense from Moffat’s world! I want a new TIMELORD not a TIMELADY! Don’t fix what’s not broken! Anyways my money’s on young Luke treadaway…

July 15th, 2017 - 11:30amNo it’s unlucky 13…The Valeyard…Michael Jayston.

July 15th, 2017 - 11:08amKris marshall seems to be the bookies choice although with the long association with chris chibnall on broadchurch i,m more inclined to think it still might be olivia coleman. If it is, i,d be quite happy with that.
Citsacras Dratsab
July 15th, 2017 - 10:48amHow is Kris Marshall a controversial choice?? He’d make a great Doctor Who
Doctor Stu
July 15th, 2017 - 10:47amIt could bring a surge of female viewers. I think people forget that women watch the show and often feel that all men will suddenly switch off because they’re outraged with a female Doctor whereas the majority just don’t have an issue

July 15th, 2017 - 10:45amThe Outcast, very good point, but just no
Doctor Stu
July 15th, 2017 - 10:45amIs there any suggestion that it could be Kris Marshall other than the fact that he left death in paradise at the same time Peter announced he was leaving. Is this just what people are basing it on or is there more.
The Moffatt Paradox
July 15th, 2017 - 10:28amLOL The Outcast. You would make a BAD Dalek.

July 15th, 2017 - 9:28amOts after the mens final so could it mean. A) its peter capaldi whos the final man to play the role and a womans takong over next or alternatibely B) its on a mens final because its a man
The Outcast
July 15th, 2017 - 9:24amIf they are filming Series 11 in the coming months, it would be nigh impossible. If Series 11 isn’t being filmed this year, though, I will never understand.
