I was against a female Doctor for reasons of continuity, not misogyny.
Maybe I should cut them some slack, I guess shows - particularly SF shows - shouldn't be constrained by the past. But it might have seemed less incongruous and gimmicky to do it at the start of the modern era, not after so many more males and while ratings are tanking.

Should have been kept as a woman again. Now we know the next doctor after this one will have to be a woman otherwise they'll have backlash over that.
I thought Whitaker was perfectly fine in the role, but unfortunately she was never given any great stories to shine in like the other NuWho Doctors.
What I really miss is the dark and weird Capaldi years, but that didn't seem to be a big hit with fans so it's probably going to be nothing but light and upbeat stories from here on out, especially with RTD back in charge.

Doctor Who has been execrable since it came back in 2005. And to be fair was pretty awful after Tom Baker left in 1981.

^ ^ Agreed would love to see that Timeless Child nonsense retconned right out of existence! Never heard of the actor playing 14, but I’ll give him a chance. Just glad they’ve gone back to a male doctor…each to their own but a female doctor never felt right with me...maybe it was just the choice of actress, who knows!
I still miss my favourite Doctor - Capaldi though. Just hoping for good stories and better writing now Chibnall is going.

^ Great news…will be interesting to see the viewing figures for this episode.
It looks like Tennant is donning a new coat and tie for the special...
And the box ticking continues...

I can't wait to PO the BCS figure in 2025, at 500€, and have it delivered to me in 2028!

^ As soon as that? If BCS do do a new figure of Tennant we might just get it in time for the 70th anniversary…

Looks a bit like Mrs Doubtfire to me in that pic. Lol

Disney as a partner with the BBC is horrifying. It's like some middle class white woke woman with two heads, both called Karen, has taken over (sorry ladies, only being a bit silly, although yes only a bit, the white wokie ladies are the WORST. The rest of you are delightful, and that coming from an extremely gay man - not in my mannerism but in just how hot I find attractive men. Annnyyywaaay….)
I really hope it's true Disney don't have any overriding control and that American influence doesn't creep in. Who just has to remain entirely British. Not that the BBC is any better at all, it's probably worse, and I think Disney might be learning about the woke stuff seeing as everything they're doing is a disaster on their streaming service.
Even though RTD is also super woke, I don't think he hates white people, as is common and indeed 'acceptable' for that crowd, so I think he'll use diversity in the positive way it should be used and moreover I think he'll have a lot of interesting plans for the show, as well as spin offs already in the works.
We can hope! This is make or break for sure. We're back in 2005 where had series one flopped that would have been it. I think it'll be the same for Kcuti's first series.
Obviously the 60th will do very well in the meantime and of course the draw of Tennant, along with the other inevitable appearances, and with Kcuti and the new style for the series running through the specials it might just retain a big audience as a result . That's their strategy anyway, clearly.
