Exterminator
July 16th, 2017 - 4:41pmNever heard of her, good luck but I must admit I’m a bit disappointed. Typical p.c BBC and Chris Chibnall has just built himself a mountain to climb.

July 16th, 2017 - 4:40pmYes!

July 16th, 2017 - 4:39pmHate hate hate not a good choice at all they had the chance of saving it but have just completely ruined the whole franchise the doctor is a timelord not a timelordess this is a joke
The Outcast
July 16th, 2017 - 4:39pmI hate Missy, but I still hold hope this new Doctor will be good.

July 16th, 2017 - 4:36pmWelcome Chris Chibnall, the man that brought us the Torchwood episode ” Cyber Woman” , and we all remember how well THAT was received!!

The Moffat Paradox
July 16th, 2017 - 9:08pmThe Christmas Special isn’t the problem.It’s the afrtermath at the end of it with the “regeneration”.

July 19th, 2017 - 9:55amIt’s like Moffat’s saying to the fans “Here you are folks, I’ve brought the 1st and 12th Doctor’s together at Christmas, to bookend and bring closure to the male Doctors…It’s all female from now on!”
Button
July 16th, 2017 - 4:35pmHe’s a lady. Woah,woah, woah.
Anonymous
July 16th, 2017 - 4:35pmSome people on here are so pathetic. Don’t judge until you see her in action.
peter
July 16th, 2017 - 4:37pmno we are not pathetic ive watched since the first Dr, its a man part – hey why not get a man plkaying Jane Ayre ??? oh no, its a womans part

July 16th, 2017 - 4:39pmWell said Peter.

July 16th, 2017 - 4:43pmSo as a long term fan and a mature adult you should know that unlike real life characters, the doctor is a fictional alien. His species can change from gender to gender and from skin colour to skin colour. Therefore there is ZERO argument that stands up for the doctor remaining as a white male – maybe its a generational thing?
Pats86
July 16th, 2017 - 4:47pmMaybe you are right, older ones are more wise.

July 16th, 2017 - 4:55pmHa…yeah, coz you’ve done such a great job with the world….our mess to clear up. Cheers old wise bigoted one.

Adam
July 16th, 2017 - 5:20pmNO The Doctor can’t change gender! That BS was made up by moffat’s horrendous running of the show and now unfortunately by Chibnall as well..RIP TIMELORD…
Pats86
July 16th, 2017 - 6:04pmNot a bigot just right.
JasonisnotaRobot
July 16th, 2017 - 4:35pmCant wait for people who havent cared about the show till now to be angry
Also, are we not going to talk about thag really shoddy looking 10 tardis?
phillip l poole
July 16th, 2017 - 5:11pmI’ve watched since Patrick Trouton (no2). I care and im angry
NoMore
July 16th, 2017 - 5:32pmWell said
Tim M
July 16th, 2017 - 4:34pmI reckon she will be like a female version of the 5th Doctor.
The Outcast
July 16th, 2017 - 4:36pmI’m hoping Female 7.
The Temporal Jelly Baby
July 16th, 2017 - 4:38pmI’m hoping for a new portrayal of the character which, while having hints of her previous incarnations (same person after all), gives something new to the role other than a change of gender.
The Outcast
August 5th, 2017 - 8:10am^ Yes, I am like that too, but I really want a more manipulative Doctor.
Neal T.
July 16th, 2017 - 4:34pmWelcome Chris Chibnall, the man that brought us the Torchwood episode ” Cyber Woman” , and we all remember how well THAT was received!! Now we have Doctor Gimmick!!
NoMore
July 16th, 2017 - 5:33pmYeah, nice one Chris.
Dr RevWho
July 16th, 2017 - 4:34pmI did not see that coming. But still, good luck Jodie Whittaker, I hope you knock our socks off and have an awesome time doing it.
Simon W
July 16th, 2017 - 4:34pmppl stop thinking Dr Who is dead just because its a lady we have all been prepared for this what with Missy. Who know she might be the greatest Doctor we’ve seen. So give her a chance
peter
July 16th, 2017 - 4:38pmNo
Adam
July 16th, 2017 - 5:26pmNah this is BS PC casting at it’s worst…end of !
Whorules
July 16th, 2017 - 4:33pmGood luck. And boo boo please show restraint and moderate the comments on here
Pats86
July 16th, 2017 - 6:07pmPeople are entitled to their opinions Whorules, just because it’s not the same as yours they should not be shut down.
Tim M
July 16th, 2017 - 4:33pmMake or Break time for Doctor Who. I certainly wish her all the best, and maybe for a series over 50 years old it needs a different direction. It certainly opens the scope of the series to a wider remit. That might not be a bad thing.
Alison chivers
July 16th, 2017 - 4:57pmJust BBC pic rubbish, I knew it was coming, it’s great the BBC tick theirs boxes, I think they’ve missed a few. Terrible decision. Won’t be watching, I’ve watched from John pertwee, but not anymore. Bet Sherlock Holmes is next, or should that be sheryl Holmes
Doctor Stu
July 16th, 2017 - 4:33pmWow, she had no dialogue at all and about 10 seconds of dialogue give the woman a change look at how everyone criticized Missy and now she’s adored, same with Bill and now she’s adored this could be the same. She’s got an enormous weight on her shoulders now the least you could do is give her a chance
nygel Harrot
August 4th, 2017 - 9:44pmIf Missy was so good … why didn’t she have more to do in this last season ???
TheDoctorIsaWoman
July 16th, 2017 - 4:33pmI don’t believe it !!! (jokes) but I wasn’t keen on Missy, till I saw her episodes which I then loved, and cried at her last one, just have to wait till Christmas to see what she’s like
The Temporal Jelly Baby
July 16th, 2017 - 4:31pmBecause a woman is the Doctor? Seriously? I can sort of understand an opposition to a female Doctor but come on, now it has been announced, give her a chance. She could give a fantastic portrayal of the Doctor! Only time will tell.
Simon W
July 16th, 2017 - 4:31pmdon’t sell it short u never know she might be a great Doctor.
tom
July 16th, 2017 - 4:31pmNo it hasn’t, she’s not bad looking and its a suprise yeah but cant wait personally for Christmas.
When The Doctor Was Me
July 16th, 2017 - 4:31pmHmmmmmm…… speechless. Not sure in what way!!
The Outcast
July 16th, 2017 - 4:33pmSame.
prototype dalek
July 16th, 2017 - 4:35pmFirst thing that came in to my mind was PC
Pats86
July 16th, 2017 - 6:08pmPeter Capaldi?
prototype dalek
July 16th, 2017 - 6:41pmYeah, will miss him being the Doctor.
pats86
July 16th, 2017 - 6:49pmMe too.
Doctor Stu
July 16th, 2017 - 4:30pmThis is going to shake things up and separate the fans from the people who are terrified of a woman Doctor
The Temporal Jelly Baby
July 16th, 2017 - 4:29pmGreat! I look forward to seeing her in action and wish her all the best in the role.
Weeping Angel
July 16th, 2017 - 4:29pmTo be honest, I dont think a female doctor will work
tom
July 16th, 2017 - 4:29pmOMG!!!! Who saw that coming!!!
prototype dalek
July 16th, 2017 - 4:28pmDid not see that coming. personally, Really not keen
