Not really what my point was
If the doctor can regenerate into anything, then what is the story explanation of why he has always been a man. Not the real life explanation.
Not really what my point wasBecause TV has very much been a male dominated world historically. Things have changed greatly over recent years though with women writers and directors and producers finally getting a foothold.
Just simply don't think it was even considered before. Just a this is the way it always is thinking process previously.

What about a dwarf? A gay? Or a Mexican?
After an initial rise - thought to be due to the change of schedule from autumn to spring - they fell to well below the previous series. The numbers watching on catchup and overseas have also fallen as have sales of Dr Who merchandise.Most shows' viewing figures are dipping, it's just a sign of how people watch their TV now, mainly on catch up or streamed. The BBC still makes shed loads of cash selling Doctor Who around the world so it's not something that is likely to be shelved any time soon. I'd also put some of the decline down to Clara who was almost universally disliked, I'd bet anything figures have risen this season.
According to a BBC poll of 12,000 people only 15% were against having a female Doctor.Have you read any Doctor Who forums since the announcement was made?
Looks like the lack of female leads, on TV at least, might be overstated. BBC looked at the top 50 drams, excluding soaps, from last year and this was the result.New Star Trek show has a female captain, just watched a trailer. Nothing new as weve seen that years ago in Voyager but its continuing the trend. Is there a reason for this in terms of revenue? Has there been more girls lining up to watch Star Wars with Episode 7 and Roge One having female leads?
Keep it to yourself Otis, you want a nerd bloodbath on your hands??Yeah, looks good.
Oh and I am finally vindicated at last. Spent my whole life calling the Doctor, Doctor Who, only to be shot down in flames and being sternly told 'his name is the Doctor!!!'
Just been confirmed, his name IS Doctor Who!!
Or to be strangled to death by knitted cardigan wearing, bespectacled, pot bellied 40 and 50 year olds.Keep it to yourself Otis, you want a nerd bloodbath on your hands??
Was it a poll of regular Dr Who viewers or a random sample because it hardly matters what people who don't watch the programme think.According to a BBC poll of 12,000 people only 15% were against having a female Doctor.
But surely a poll on the whole would be more likely answered by people who watched or had an interest in the programme.Was it a poll of regular Dr Who viewers or a random sample because it hardly matters what people who don't watch the programme think.
This is from a poll of regular Dr Who viewers:
Also, have to say, 53% hardly points to overwhelming outrage.
If the majority of Who fans were outraged I would have expected that vote to be much closer to 75% and above.
New series will bring in new fans. I am convinced of it and has already been said, people watch in so many different ways these days.The comments after the poll suggested that it was those who had watched the programme most regularly who were most hostile.
It's dead anyway, more people watched a repeat of Pointless Celebrities which cost the BBC nothing to make than watched most of Series 10.
New series will bring in new fans.
A portion of the first lot of fans'll be pretty dead or senile by now.there won't be enough new new fans to compensate for the vast number of veteran fans who've abandoned the show.
Of course it will, but they won't be the kind who stick with the show just as they didn't stick with Series 10 and there won't be enough new new fans to compensate for the vast number of veteran fans who've abandoned the show.
Why do people say she is a "fantastic actress" based on what? Her and the bloke who played her husband in Broadchurch reminded me of a furniture removal sale they were so wooden.
Why does she say she's a feminist and a woman? She's hardly Emily Davidson is she? Also if she's a feminist first why take the role as its only been made to be a woman so the flagging franchise gets interest. That's hardly feminism more opportinism.
The comments after the poll suggested that it was those who had watched the programme most regularly who were most hostile.
All a matter of opinion.
I thought she was fantastic in the first series of Broadchurch and knew her before then from Attack the Block.
A very good actress I would say. Never seen her handle comedy though, so that will be interesting.
I did watch it Otis but I don't really see where the plot can go.Anyone watch her in Trust Me last night on BBC1? Thought she was very impressive myself and all the reviews I have seen have praised her for her performance in it.
4 parts.I did watch it Otis but I don't really see where the plot can go.
Unless it's only a two parter.
Yeah not bad, just don't see where it can go.4 parts.
It's moving at quite a pace isn't it!! I really liked it, but it is all rather fantastical. Somehow the film makers made it look quite gripping.
Whittaker is very good in it though.
Ooh, I like the sound of that.Yeah not bad, just don't see where it can go.
She cheats, she gets found out, then punishment?
Anyone watch her in Trust Me last night on BBC1? Thought she was very impressive myself and all the reviews I have seen have praised her for her performance in it.
Well the critics seem to disagree with you on this.She's a typical bang average actress to be honest. She will be on strictly come dancing soon.
Yeah, get your point, but I specifically watched this show last night BECAUSE Jodie Whittaker was in it and I liked her in Broadchurch and in Attack the Block.I am no film/tv buff - but I know people who seem 'affected' at all this kind of thing. They ask me if I am going to see film A...'no...should I?' Well yes they indicate - because actor B is in it...'who is he/she?' Oh come on, you must've seen film C...he/she was in that...'erm...no not seen it'
Does the actors in a film/program or show REALLY reliably reflect on how good or bad something will be? I tend to look at the theme or plot more than anything else, then watch or not, & enjoy or not.
Keep it simple because the eis so much good/bad shit out there it is impossible to keep up. There was a time so.ebody would recommend stuff - I would watch & be disappointed.
All about personal taste & opinion.
Let the Dr be...enjoy or or don't watch it & whichever the case just get on with it
