Evil Grimace 359 Posted March 13, 2022 This seems the best place to put this (ahead of time, the thread for Whovians), as it doesn't seem to be posted anywhere else (going by the search function...) and the person is well known for her commentary on 'Doctor Who'. It is of course, none other than Mary Whitehouse, decency campaigner and decent 2001 DL hit.

TQR 14,385 Posted May 8, 2022 Ncuti Gatwa (most famously off of Sex Education) has been announced as the 14th doctor. Brilliant choice imo! (note to Harry: try using humour in a way that’s humorous rather than cynical unoriginality) (reply to Harry’s second round of pettiness: you nicked your name from a footballer you silly bastard; look in the name change thread for my name change, come back if you want any help with some of the trickier words in it) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,684 Posted May 8, 2022 I say, how dreadfully androcentric - he's nowhere near being the disabled, black transsexual Doctor the BBC should be providing us with in this day and age. (note to self: never try using humour in DW thread) (note to The Quim Reaper: whatever happened to your hilarious original username? You thought it funny + nobody else did = name change) 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,028 Posted May 8, 2022 May I ask if his family moved here as refugees from the Rwandan genocide? Anyhow, as long as John Bishop remains on the show I will continue to boycott my viewing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the old dinosaurs complaining about Doctor Who not being a male will have to shut up now, unless they want to reveal their true colours. Actually quite a good choice, if he acts with even half the energy he has in Sex Education you're looking at a good old school Doctor Who rather than the self-obsessed depressive Doctor of the post-Capaldi era Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just to add - do not worry about the time/place setting. It's British, but a bit American. It's now, but a bit 1980s. Think of it as a parallel universe.

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted May 8, 2022 I couldn't give a fuck who they make the new Doctor so long as the scripts/storylines are not preachy, wokey bollocks like 'we must educate the masses about just how bad your ancestors were' etc etc. I don't think my ancestors ever owned slaves. It might also help if the plots are not utterly shit too. As all of the above is bound to be shoe horned in at some point, I'm out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
