July 16, 20178 yr Member Well I never the BBC really did do the right thing and let the Doctor be in touch with her feminine side. As a father of daughters - result!— Colin Baker (@SawbonesHex) July 16, 2017 Change my dears and not a moment too soon - she IS the Doctor whether you like it or not!— Colin Baker (@SawbonesHex) July 16, 2017 And to those making 'parking the Tardis' jokes - name me one make Doctor that was unfailingly good at that! 🙄— Colin Baker (@SawbonesHex) July 16, 2017 Well there you have it tweetiepies ! 13 is named & im sure she will be excellent xxx— KatyManning Official (@ManningOfficial) July 16, 2017 I am thrilled #JodieWhitaker DW13 a fine actress & a great gig xxx— KatyManning Official (@ManningOfficial) July 16, 2017 Holy moley!

July 16, 20178 yr Member 1 hour ago, YRBB said: Males are losing their shιt! Oh dear.... I do like some of the responses to the whining. They really put these cry-babies in their place.
July 16, 20178 yr Member I'm okay with this. I didn't need a female Doctor to make my life complete like so many on the Internet seem to have, but if I can't have one season of Capaldi out from under Moffat after his strongest turn was when he was finally out from under Clara or a miniseries with Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor (not giving up on that yet!), I'm good with this. Though I do fear the possibility that the gimmicks that tanked Michelle Gomez's Master in my eyes (starting with "Missy," everything screamed "He's a WOMAN NOW!!") might prove too tempting. I want the Doctor to be written as a person, just like the Doctor has always been. Whitaker can take care of the rest.

July 20, 20178 yr Member More reax: ICYMI: Our chat w/ #DoctorWho's @Lou_Jameson re: news of the 1st female Doctor. Lovely chat! @mytalk1071 https://t.co/m7YFYAskpJ — Bradley Traynor (@bradleytraynor) July 18, 2017 Yes! Utterly brilliant. Love it. #DoctorWho13 https://t.co/qqz8HCszOc — Anneke Wills (@AnnekeWills) July 16, 2017 Predictably, Janet Fielding is already in the trenches slugging it out with angry fans: Being pedantic now. Dr is an academic title awarded to those with a PhD. A medico with only a primary degree is not really a 'Dr'. https://t.co/SJfblAshiy— Janet Fielding (@jfmouthonlegs) July 19, 2017 Yes. Exactly & I think the path to a female doctor has been well prepared in this last series. https://t.co/8eX9hOakQK— Janet Fielding (@jfmouthonlegs) July 19, 2017 G'wan Jodie !!!! This is amazing news. Well done Dr Who world #drwho #jodiewhittaker #ladiesnight .... 🌎👏🌎👏🌎 pic.twitter.com/BpGIXc0cwS— Billie Piper (@billiepiper) July 17, 2017 Absolutely furious. Can't believe they've cast a human to play the Doctor.— Matt Lucas (@RealMattLucas) July 16, 2017 Here she is #jodiewhittaker 🙌🏻— Jenna Coleman (@Jenna_Coleman_) July 17, 2017 Jodie Jodie Jodie Jodie Jodie!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉— Karen Gillan (@karengillan) July 16, 2017 Thrilled that I will be directing the amazing #DoctorWho13 Jodie Whittaker in Xmas episode. Plenty of time before Xmas to get that done.— Rachel Talalay (@rtalalay) July 17, 2017 People asking how I feel about #Doctorwho being a woman. The same way I feel about women being women #FineI literally just see #TheDoctor pic.twitter.com/qOiO4z15VD— Noel Clarke (@NoelClarke) July 17, 2017 Guardian article from 6th Doc @SawbonesHex on Jodie. Great read from a great Doctor (who I met once. Lovely man.) https://t.co/OMK3C5lSKM— Daniel Sharp (@DJtotheS) July 19, 2017
July 24, 20178 yr Member Wow. I think this is set during "The Tenth Planet" - that looks like Polly with the First Doctor.
August 6, 20178 yr Member Christopher Eccleston is over the moon about Jodie Whittaker's casting. Peter Davison is less than thrilled.
August 7, 20178 yr Member Peter Davison didn't say he was less than thrilled. He expressed one thought that worried him while expressing approval of the person they cast. And he's apparently been run off Twitter by abusive Doctor Who "fans." Edited August 7, 20178 yr by katie_9918

Doctor Who is one of the less tolerable fandoms I've ever been in, although they were always more pseudo-intellectual than abusive. I wonder if this was more SJWs than anything else. I've never had much interest in his opinions since he said 500000 times how terrible his years on the show were and he only should have had Nyssa as a companion and Tegan didn't work and so on, but he does have a right to his view.
August 7, 20178 yr Member I don't think anything he said was so horrible but I also don't think it was exactly genius. I still like him but I do sigh.
