July 16th, 2017 - 4:50pmWell BBC you have got what you wanted with this selection of 13th Doctor I hope all the cmonth from my fellow fans are just anger and you don’t loose the millions of loyal fans through a cheap trick the poor actress will be the one who suffers as she will become a pub quiz question in years to come as the last person to play DR WHO
Gutted!!!

July 16th, 2017 - 4:50pmI give the show a year. I can’t see it lasting more than that now. I’ve seen Jodie in a number of things and I’m afriad I don’t think she’s up to it.

July 16th, 2017 - 4:50pmAt the end of the day, whether the Doctor is played by a man or a woman doesn’t matter. The writers know exactly what they are doing, and as such, I am really looking forward to seeing Jodie in action.
Good Luck, Jodie!
Don’t let the mad delusions of so-called “hardcore” fans put you off from continuing the legacy that is Doctor Who.

July 16th, 2017 - 4:50pmSay what you will but the show needs those viewing figures like it or not, the shows not exactly in a stable place right now

July 16th, 2017 - 4:50pmI am personally not happy at the choice, but thats just my opinion. It is really unfair so say that what I am saying, just because I disagree with you, is pathetic. I haven’t said that your opinion is pathetic, so why would you be so small-minded and say that about my opinion and about others who feel the same as me?

July 16th, 2017 - 4:49pmAgreed, or technically over 1,100 years of being Male

July 16th, 2017 - 4:49pmi wonder who her companion is going to be??
could be Kris Marshall or he could agree to be doctor 14 when the time comes although i would like to see her be the doctor for at least 2 series even though we saw a 30 second clip.

July 16th, 2017 - 4:47pmShe was brilliant in broadchurch. The best of luck to her.
Doctor Stu
July 16th, 2017 - 4:47pmQuick Doctor let’s get back to the TARDIS it’s not safe, triggered people everywhere

July 16th, 2017 - 4:46pmI think Chris has let himself been taken by peer pressure to choose a female doctor. You can’t have a character who has been a male for more then 50 years of television suddenly become a women. Any way good luck to Chris and Jodie.

July 16th, 2017 - 4:45pmNope, just no no no

July 16th, 2017 - 4:45pmBye bye to the fans who are going to stop watching, you’ll be missed, not!
prototype dalek
July 16th, 2017 - 4:45pmJust spoke to my sister and my mother and they hate the choice, sort of agree with them really

July 16th, 2017 - 4:43pmI know her work, she’s a good actor, give a chance people, it’s pathetic the way some people are reacting

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?
Velvet Doctor
July 16th, 2017 - 4:42pmWow! Didn’t know which way it was going to go this time, but I’m very glad the Doctor will regenerate into a woman because I think that’s the next step for the character 🙂 I haven’t previously seen her in anything but I’m excited to see where the series is going!

July 16th, 2017 - 4:42pmWell im actually happy about this news, everyones welcome to their own opinion

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 - 4:39pmI hate Missy, but I still hold hope this new Doctor will be good.
