Who the fuck ever really thought it would be Swinton? Would be great but absolutely zero chance of it happening

 

[Wilf]

I hope they make it so that she still fancies women so your head explodes

So feminists have ruined a great British TV iconic male character. I wish it had have been Danny Dyer. He would have been totally wrong for the role, but at least he would have been the correct sex................

You're like some corner of Urban that is forever Daily Mail.

I know. When I saw her suggested I scoffed at the idea that she would find the time to do/want to do it, as amazing as she would have been.

I don't think you know what you are talking about do you?

A Who writer:

 

[FiFi]

arrrrrhhh. I dont know her but she looks sooooo boring. lets hope she can over act. my daughter on the other hand did cartwheels at just the thought that there is a woman dr who in her life time, so I have to go along with that. mr who is for her age now. just wish it was a swinton or a missy and not such a mor beauty.
by the way my daughter literally did cartwheels in the garden and shouted to the world about how happy she was, so i know this is big for her.

I don't know how old your daughter is, but mine is 18 and was literally dancing round the room! She and her friends are now frantically messaging each other to discuss it.
It is a HUGH deal for young women!

 

[Sea Star]

I do think trans people should be referring to their transitions as regenerations now.

 

[Gromit]

I'm waiting for the wave of transphobia that will inevitably be thrown up.

What?!?!

I don't think you know what you are talking about do you?

Well, when it comes to knowing what you are talking about, you said:

Would you like to give us some detail about that? Which feminists? What did they do?

Hope for their sakes it / she isn't shit.
Cause you know what will be blamed.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

This has really perked me up on a rainy Sunday.

German Grear. She probably wrote a book about how if the Dr was a woman we'd one day be advanced enough to have a female Prime minister.

I've been refreshing Tom Harris's twitter page for the last 40 minutes. So far nothing.

How else do you explain this nonsense then? Some of us have been following the show since probably before most of you were even born, and now we've just been crapped on from a great height. The character is MALE, has always been MALE, and should have stayed MALE.

 

[Gromit]

Oooooooh I see. The guy replacing Moffat as writer is writer for Broadchurch.

To those who watch Broadchurch, please tell me that the writing is genuinely excellent please?

If so it may all work out rather than turn into a horrendous nightmare.

Regardless of whether this new person will be any good, the thought of all the MRA tosspots having fits of apoplexy is reason enough to celebrate.

got no interest in doctor who but just posting to say lol

 

[danny la rouge]

Here's a great twitter thread with former Labour MP Tom Harris threatening to block people for asking him why he didn't want the Doctor to be a woman:

The best thing about the decision is how much it's upset pricks.

Well, I've been watching it since something like 1965 and I've managed to stay calm. Unless you are in the camp of thinking all authority figures are inherently male (looks like you are to be honest), I'd have thought a regenerating timelord was inherently someone who could change gender, ethnicity etc.

My first clear memory of Who is from 1973, and I'm delighted by this casting.

So I'm a "prick" am I because I don't want a character that I grew up with, and that was a huge part of my childhood, to be fucked about with? Fuck off

Regardless of whether this new person will be any good, the thought of all the MRA tosspots having fits of apoplexy is reason enough to celebrate.

I've no idea what an "MRA" even is..........

Seems a lot of you don't care about the character AT ALL.

 

[DotCommunist]

what is there in the character that means it has to be a man? this change is perfectly canon. I've been a lifelong fan, watched back during the interregnum stuff that hadn't aired in my lifetime. Anyway my seal of rassilon tattoo gives me the authority to declare this a good choice. Even the crap Baker agrees

I've been watching since 1743 and 2745 and 1986.
In all that time/s this will be known as the worst casting ever. Unlucky 13.

My first memory of Dr Who is Patrick Troughton. I clearly remember Jamie being dropped back into his own time. I'm delighted by this casting and I can't wait for more! It's very exciting.

 

[DotCommunist]

I mean did you get upset this much when he turned out to have a wife whereas old who was never interested in that?

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Feminists. Ruining childhoods yet again.

You got at least half a year to enjoy that feeling. Enjoy it whilst it lasts.
