Why would Moffat choose this has his last episode lol. He is a capable sometimes brilliant writer why would he leave the doctor who audience with this lmaoo.

Also gonna miss Peter not sure if he was my fave doctor but with Tennant and Matt Smith I felt that it was their time to go and was excited to see how the replacement fairs but I feel like peter had more to offer. Looking forward to see what they do with Jodie though.

Yeah, I do think Capaldi started to hit his stride more in series 10 but I think a lot of that is to do with Bill.

For 2 series, he was basically lumbered with Matt Smith's leftovers.

The university professor angle really suited him.

[Firewire]

8 and 9 were all about Clara, the Doctor was the co-star.

He came into his own in 10. I think had Moffat made a series in 2015, with 2016's being series 11, I think we'd better understand Capaldi's Doctor a lot more. It would also been great to have Bill for two full series.

[Ashley.]

That was painful to watch.

[Scarlett.]

What an odd episode, last ten minutes or so were good though!

[Marsh.]

I thought it was silly to mix the episode footage with original clips as it just highlighted the recast and made everything seem fake.

They should've just got on with it.

[Glenn.]

Good episode I thought. Full of nice moments.

I was a bit wary of how I would actually feel when Jodie appeared but oh my god

Cannot wait for the new series

[Glenn.]

I also loved how Steven Moffat put another spin on the Daleks. Those creepy crawling mutants are a story all on their own

[Scarlett.]

I didn't mind Moffat overall, he had good and bad episodes, but I'm glad we're moving into a new era again.

how did bills story end?

[Oliver_W]

I feel like Moffat has never watched an episode of the First Doctor, because he was never like the sexist portrayal of this episode. At worst he called his female companions "my child" or similar, but he called his male ones "dear boy/my boy", and didn't even bother to learn Chesterton's name!

The real Bill is still presumably travelling the universe with her puddle girlfriend, the Bill we saw here was a copy rather than a continuation of the original Bill.

I can't remember if I've already posted this, but I'll be really sad to see Capaldi go - Tennant's Farewell Parade of Death made me hate him so much I couldn't watch him again for ages, but before that I'd have been happy for him to stay; I really liked Matt Smith in the role but I kind of felt like his story was "finished"; but Capaldi has so much more potential, he's probably the best actor to fill the role, and I'd like to have seen him under a better showrunner than Moffat.

[Saph]

on a side note, did anyone watch the vicar of dibley xmas special the other night, I never realized Capaldi was the "will you marry me" guy I must've seen that 100 times

[Firewire]

Do you work for a newspaper?

[Ashley.]

You haven't quoted anyone. All you've said is "females have said this too", which is a dire, overused way of trying to justify why you're allowed to say misogynistic things.

[Sticks]

One is someone from church, who until this announcement was a dedicated fan, another was someone I used to work with, who posted on Facebook.

They are real people, I am not making them up

These are at least two females, one would have expected to be more accommodating, who believed that The Doctor should not be of their gender. The rule I have heard once is for every person who voices a complaint there are quite a lot more who agree, but have kept stum

The only opinion I voiced is the question have the producers miscalculated given that some females have criticised this. Did they not realise they might have alienated a core group of female fans with this decision, which critics said was driven by political correctness.

I have already said I will tune in to see how it works out, where as my female friends point blankly refuse to do even that.

[MB.]

"It is the females I am quoting" is definitely a sentence that someone who's ever spoken to a woman in his life would say, I agree

[Firewire]

Wig.

[MB.]

I'd like all the men in BBUK-Fan's sig to turn into women

You told him to piss off. You made it personal first.

The James Bond comparisons are frankly hilarious.

and stupid! and i really don't get how you can compare them since it's not the same :s bond is a male and correct me if i'm wrong he is identified as a male where the Doctor isn't even human, they are an alien with no actual gender. The doctor can be any gender and any colour etc

[Sticks]

There was a statistic that for every letter published supporting a specific argument, there are quite a lot more who feel the same way, but remain silent. Am not sure the precise number, maybe 5000,so the number of women objecting could be higher than what is seen.

Again the observation is that a chunk of those objecting to this move have been women, which is counter intuitive to what you expect from this age of equal rights.
