No, Jo Martin holds that role but he is the first black actor in the main role as Jo played a former Doctor

As someone who’s only seen the first season of sex education, this seems a bit of a... random choice, but he’s a pretty decent actor from what I’ve seen.
GBnews are gonna be frantic, first a woman, now a black man? Their viewers are gonna have kittens

I actually think he'll be good, he has the right energy to go back to the Tennant/Smith days. SURELY people can't kick off about him being black... I know they will... but there's zero justification.
In terms of sexuality, so long as they remember that The Doctor is quite clearly established (going back as far as Eccleson) as being bi or "pan" and they don't suddenly make the character gay (which would make no sense, because of Rose + River Song) there's not problem with his persona either which is, admittedly, quite camp in Sex Ed. That said, I wouldn't exactly call Tennant or Smith "butch" . My ONLY concern would be whether or not he'll be able to capture the character's angry/dark side, and that duality is important.

Have I missed something ? .. when was the doctor ever bi or pans ?? . Granted I haven't watched it for a good few seasons though. Anyway It's cool & interesting that it's finally a black actor, but I have a feeling they'll change the character too much ,to the point where it doesn't feel like the doctor anymore. Tennant and Smith were just eccentric / flamboyant. Tennant will always be my favourite doctor. They both reminded me of energetic scientists. But I always thought Matt Smith's doctor acted alot more sillier . Last edited by GoldHeart; 08-05-2022 at 02:55 PM. |

POW! BLAM!

Not heard of him, never seen Sex Education, am I right in thinking it's comedic? That could be advantageous.

That said, isn't RTD one of those, who keeps karping on about how only gay people should get to play gay characters? Maybe he's bringing back that "gay agenda"' some people used to go on about |

Well, that's that.
I tried to watch it with a woman doctor and it sucked. SOOOOOOO hard. Now we have a black man. Give me strength. They might as well just cancel it now. The BBC is just trying too hard. I watched a little bit of Dodger. There was a black Bow Street Runner and a black magistrate. If I were black, I'd be furious to think that the BBC is giving such a horribly skewed picture of history in order to be PC. Black people were servants... none were in society, and to try to expunge that is disingenuous. |

No they won't they will tune out. Like they did when Jodie Whittaker became the Doctor. Then you and half a dozen others will be able to tune in all on your own. Till it's cancelled, of course.

I've never actually seen sex education is it any good?.
I always assumed it was another skins for the next generation, I use to watch skins but it had some bad writing in it. |

Those people were always meant to be black, the character of Doctor Who has always been able to generate into any type of life form not just a pasty white old man so I dont really see the point your making

People just don't like seeing progress people just want white people to have every single role. It's not really that deep but the gammons have to fume about something.
