Oh not only that but the character of the Second Doctor came pretty close to being non-white as well.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

And I've never seen GB news in my LIFE.

I always assumed it was another skins for the next generation, I use to watch skins but it had some bad writing in it.

The first series is really good, haven’t seen the second one though, nor have I ever watched skins so I wouldn’t be able to compare the two, would definitely recommend Sex Ed though

Which is funny considering the Doctor is an ALIEN from another planet , they can literally be any race & gender & can look old or young. They're not human therefore it shouldn't be an issue.

I'll admit I was sceptical when the Doctor changed gender ,but I haven't actually watched any of Whittaker's episodes to.judge them. Also it's down to the writing aswell. I heard Whittaker got some bad scripts/ plots.

The issue with the Whittaker era wasn't Whittaker at all. I think it took her slightly longer to "find" the character than Tennant or Smith - but I'd say the same about Capaldi. When she did she was a good doctor.

The writing however is 80% trash. A decision was made at some point to dumb-down the sci fi and make it all more kid-friendly when it had been becoming more and more clearly aimed at an older audience throughout the latter half of the Tennant era, the whole Smith era, and definitely the Capaldi era... it was a terrible move. Whittaker did her best with it. There are one or two great episodes where she shines, it's a pity the consistency is so low.

I strongly suspect the latter half of the Smith seasons will always be the show's peak for me personally but still willing to give it a chance ... just go back to it being a little darker.

people talking with nostalgia about the early series seem to have forgotten the dreadful acting and the cardboard sets

To be fair the first season of Capaldi was his Doctor pondering if he's "a good man", and worthy of the reputation the Doctor carries. The payoff was that he didn't need to specifically be a good man or bad man - he was just an idiot with a box! What did he need with an army of Cybermen from the Master?!

...he is good looking though.

Fantastic news to see this, a woman then a black man? I can imagine most people are very happy.

[Cal.]

Great choice imo. From what I have seen of him he is a great actor.

But the half dozen of you that think this a good idea will be able to carry the show? Right?

Anyone who watches the show because they enjoy it won't care what skin colour the doctor is. It will all depend on the writing.

Oh I don’t watch the show anymore I just used to be a big fan back in the day so follow news on it. I don’t think ratings can be blamed on Jodie or this fella though, TV ratings are down everywhere year on year. No one watches telly anymore besides event shows like sports/Line Of Duty etc. Doctor Who which has been running for like 60 years on and off is hardly event Tv anymore. I’m sure even I’m A Celeb, a notoriously high rated show, did very poorly in the ratings last year. It’s all online streaming sites now I guess.

ive watched sex education in the background, but i don't remember him so I couldn't say if he would be good bad or indifferent. I don't have an issue with him being a black Dr Who, im more concerned that they do a good job on the writing. If its aimed at kids again, i wont be watching

[Beso]

Should have been a little Indian fella if he really is a doctor.

[Denver]

Also I dont know why your taking a major issue over this has they have had a woman, a black woman and an Asian man as a time lord over the years so why is this any different?

[Crimson Dynamo]

Oh no, they have gone too far now

It always makes me laugh when people are adamant that a couple thousand year old, time travelling alien, that moves through space and multiple dimensions, who can regenerate whenever they die, just can’t possibly be black or a woman, because that is the thing pushing the limits of reality

Ikr The Doctor ISN'T even human , they can generate into anything & anyone .

David Tennant/Rose/Martha/Donna was the best era.
