It's still a children's show, get a grip people 
Tell the BBC, it's them that's programming our children by ramming PC attitudes down their throats - in supposedly light entertainment.Did you not notice all the blunderbuss subtlety of the PC messages in the last series - is a children's program really a suitable platform?
BBC news reporter just justified recasting lead as a woman by saying "the BBC having firmly committed itself to diversity".
Actress said "as a feminist".
Anyone still care to say it's not about being PC?
Well I admit I'm a feminist, any man with a daughter I imagine is. I want her to see she can be anything she likes even Dr flipping who.
I don't watch Dr Who but I have seen Broadchurch and she was rather good in that and I'm that intrigued to see how she'll play this I may just watch.

Agreed. Selina Gomez was great but glad that Jodie doesn't look to be going down the steampunk route.
I'm pretty sure Selina Gomez wasn't in Doctor Who, no matter how great she was. Anyway, I'd forgotten some of the stuff Jodie Whittaker has been in - shes's got some good comic timing as well as some depth, so I'm pretty optimistic. Now it's all down to the script writers to write the hell out of the new season, because one slip and the critics will scream.
As for the 'PC gone Mad' brigade. Tell you what, after the last sequence of Doctors, where could it have gone? We've had the old one, the young one, the silly one, the serious one. Half of the point is that each regeneration brings something new. The next actor is *never* trying to be like the previous one, and we see a new side to the role.
Ack, who cares - it'll be fun, people will hate it, people will love it, I'll still tune in and watch it.
I absolutely couldn't have been less concerned or interested in whether or not the next actor was male or female until

it was "overwhelming, as a feminist" to become the next Doctor.

People do. Some of the ex-Doctors have said some stuff I disagree with, you don't have to like their politics to enjoy the show.Mr2Mike said:

B However since then people have become attached to it who think it should not change these people are as damaging to who as those that surrounded it around 1985
Does your fan fiction have constant references to the sexual preferences of the characters by any chance?Why do you think the preferences of a self admitted Dr Who nerd would represent those of the general public?
Well if being a nerd means you respect that I won the coveted 2012 award of excellence from the Essex and Suffolk Whoforever society then that’s fine.
The award was given to me for my explanation as to how the Master would escape his return to GallifreyThe fact that he did and returned in this series shows how in tune I am with the whoniverse. Admittedly he didn’t come back as a woman and in my version had regenerated into pure matter after being dissected by the 18th Sontaran Flesh eating Battlegroup. Those however are minor plot variances.
If however the word nerd is meant to be insulting then you should take a good long look at yourself and address the holes in your life.
I believe the general public gain valuable insight into Who by reading my works
Thank you
