I might actually start watching now. I haven't been into it since Matt & Karen.

You should! There's a new head writer coming in as well so it'll be like a fresh start for the show. I've not really liked it since David Tennant

Is Bill definitely returning?

Hopefully not

We want Kris Marshall as the assistant

Don't come for me.

There's been nothing except her saying that she's met Chris... so I doubt it </3

:joker:

I'm open minded but it won't work she will last as long as freema

I'm just not feeling right about the doctor having a sex change it will be like call the midwife with aliens.

It doesn't matter because we will be having Jemima Bond, Shirley Holmes, Idina Jones and The Terminatress to add more wood to the **** fest of a fire.

Shirley Holmes would probably be less smackable than Sherlock so bring ha on.

"The Terminatres"

I bet the regeneration takes hours knowing how long women take to get ready.

Sees a cyber man. Realises he is getting paid more.

:joker:

I'm screaming at the meltdown on there! The manababies are out in full swing having a moan. :joker:

This is fantastic news, Jodie's going to be amazing. :love:

You do realise how ridiculous your point is considering the Doctor completely physically transforms at regular intervals to prevent himself from dying.

So comparing it to human characters like James Bond who don't just casually change sex is ABSURD.

Stop trying to apply logic to your sexism, it isn't working.

The irrelevant comparisons are a howl.

"It'd be like Elsa in Frozen turning into a man!"

I forgot Elsa had the power to regenerate. The Doctor is a unique character for a reason. And that reason isn't because he has a cock.

I didn't realise the Doctor had been some kind of meninist icon up to this point

I am 98% certain that someone on Twitter has already said something along the lines of "I Bet there'll be an episode where she has to defeat the daleks but can't because of her MENSTRUAL CYCLE! :mad: WHAT IS MY LICENSE FEE EVEN FOR?"

except mis-spelt.

:joker:

Jemima. :clap1:

I had no problem with the idea of a female Doctor and I think Michelle Gomez had a huge part in that. She was so great as the Master she's the one who eased the idea in really for me.

But Jodie Whittaker was the last kind of actress I'd have thought of for the role.

Yet even in that short clip she looks amazing. :love:

:clap1:

Precisely why I don't get the backlash. 50+ years on and the show still has brand new things it hasn't done before. And if the show is in desperate need of anything at the moment, it's something NEW.
