She was later praised for her roles in the cult science fiction film Attack the Block (2011), the Black Mirror episode "The Entire History of You" (2011), and as grieving mother Beth Latimer in Broadchurch. I haven't seen much of the newer episodes but those I have seen have high production values, including generally good acting. I always love a put-down and sneer postscripted by 'it's a joke'. And the equally brilliant Venus alongside Peter O'Tool. The last few years it seemed to me like Dr Who would occasionally try a little too hard to make us feel or awaken our social conscious. Only odd ones were Tristian Farnon and Silvester McCoy, (not bad, but odd), got to give it to Peter Capaldi to be the Doctor despite a biggish name. As long as the writers don't fall back on the Big Reset Switch then I don't care about the sex of the Doctor. That's enough material for an entire showrunner's tenure packed into 10 episodes. I got into Dr Who a few years ago, at the tender age of about 52 (my Missy found some disks for our son to watch, and we were all hooked- in Finland, the Doctor was not on TV when I was a child). "getting someone in to impersonate a much younger Nicholas Courtney". ", "I've seen talk of making James Bond female". * I dont have anything against him, he was alright but not great. That's part of our rules. The finest piece of trolling I have ever seen was performed when the speculation around the 12th doctor was at its height. Hopefully Jodie Whittaker will continue the good work. There should be something a little time-worn and crusty about the doctor (it's why Matt Smith didn't fit). As for Doctor Jodie, all the new Whos have been pretty good so I'm optimistic she'll be fine as well. But Doctor Who has regenerated a dozen times now and never been female, suddenly deciding to do it now seems very much to be pandering decision not a planned plot choice. Considering Nicholas Courtney has been dead for six years... "Rule 2 to be reserved for the exclusive use of the Brigadier". But, nearly all the good ideas (Daleks, Cybermen, etc.) The go-to source for comic book and superhero movie fans. ;-). That said, she has enough time to fix that, I look forward to seeing her be anything but normal and restrained. To boot, he'd be taking over with the show's first female lead, a much-welcomed change to the status quo. See my post in which my story relies on just such a mental standpoint. That's the positive side to SJW's: they are very inventive about word creation. After five decades, … But re-watching those episodes years later, he's actually doing a remarkable job with some real stinkers of scripts... Im just waiting for the Doctor to bump in to the wife (Riversnog).

RTD did a good relaunch and Moffat did a good takeover. The constant enquiry gets tedious after a while, for all concerned, and if you don't like the alternative then why invite the situation?". In the meantime, I shall continue to enjoy more worthwhile pursuits, such as working for a living and going outside. Sometimes (probably most times) there isn't a hidden agenda. And writers, don't you dare let her down, you thunderfish! In practice, while the Timeless Child retconned the history of the Doctor, regeneration and Time Lord culture in its entirity, it really only compounds the fundamental issues with the Jodie Whittaker era of the series under showrunner Chris Chibnall. This isn't about ratings, the show's perceived focus with messaging or even the ostentatious continuity rewrite of the Timeless Child itself. The storytelling issues with Whittaker's Doctor Who go much deeper, and are best seen in contrast to what made the new series so great. There is nothing in the canon that says that this can't happen (and some things that suggest it can) -- only audience expectation. But since the Doctor has already done so, now there's a bit of a mess. The BBC confirmed that Whittaker will take over from Peter Capaldi when the actor … But the last few all worked though. And Moffat came undone when he introduced Clara, another mystery woman for the Doctor to obsess over (the fourth, counting "The Girl in the Fireplace", Amy and River Song) without full development, while Peter Capaldi's era was spotted with convoluted tales of the afterlife, Missy and Hybrids that never felt as logical or impactful as what came before (along with a multi-season grapple of what the new Doctor's personality should be). the inevitable setup of being trapped with no chance to escape and moments from death and.. K9 blasts a hole in a cardboard/Styrofoam wall, the end. A difficult act to bring off and pretty thankless, many daft UK viewers seeing his role as some sort of betrayal. Now every interesting thing about a program is spilled before it airs. For example if Davison was "your" Doctor you were probably born around 1976, give or take 2 years either side. What Chibnall has done is attempt both the Davies and Moffat model of modern Doctor Who in tandem, but fumbled both sides. That evokes an indelible image of Hattie Jacques in full matron's uniform. But the handling of the bigger picture canon mucking feels so desiring to be a big twist it doesn't get time to be developed or explained, being a continuity change for continuity's sake, not the story. A one-stop shop for all things video games. These rules are not your rules, but they are the rules here. The interplay of the two incarnations of the master was really the most delicious acting I have ever seen in Dr Who. At which point it's no longer funny to anyone. I think Matt Smith grew into the role rather well. Yeah, yeah. No great problem for me - I preferred Tennant anyway - but I do agree it was in part his big name appeal that gave the show the boost it needed to relaunch as it did. 13 incarnations. My Dad could never get used to any other than William Hartnell - the Doctor should be a fusty old gentleman in his view and he never could get past that. Look it up, I'm sure it'll be on youtube. Problem solved." Why should I get rid of my TV if I don't want to fund your choice of BBC, if you want the BBC you pay for it by subscription. Jodie Whittaker has said when she joined Doctor Who she worried about holding back gender equality in casting, but hopes a woman being given the Timelord’s role will no longer be headline news.. Fair enough, I stand corrected. Doctor number 10 was momentarily just that - he got it lopped off (well, part of it) in his fight with the Sycorax in The Christmas Invasion. It would not have been difficult to make up some technobabble to explain the exceptional case, but those managing the series chose to support the an arbitrary view of gender (which is distinct from equality in worth). Stop talking Im sold, I just want to watch it now! Doctor's secret weapon: "you may as well give up now, I have PMS!". By then I wasn't watching the show much, not making time for it, but I caught a few episodes. But, being a WOMAN? If you are just a few years older than me - that would make them the ones you got used to as a kid. And that was stated fewer times than people think it was, and even contradicted on an occasion or two. What I really believe that the show needs is to keep the actress/actor for a bit longer than happens at the moment, so that the focus can be on telling some in depth stories rather than focusing on the arc leading to the current doctor's regeneration. After an interview with the Telegraph, Jodie Whittaker has spoken about that the thought of quitting Doctor Who is too upsetting for her to think about. "Or do these strong female roles have to battle against entrenched favo[u]rites by starting new series? Troughton was fun for the most part, though I found his obsession with the recorder to be "too much". His tenure in the late sixties was influenced by the times so a lot of the stories centered on using trickery and mind games to outwit the enemy du jour rather than 'Martian judo' and the like favored by his successor. You will be placed in the stocks and whipped with limp spaghetti. Presumably she wants to be successful in the role. I remember watching the first episode, then getting to do so the next week before episode two. Hey women before you start stealing male roles on the BBC pay your licence fee: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/07/17/70_pc_tv_licensing_convictions_women/. The series arc was character-driven, not story. Cue riff based on MPFC Spanish Inquisition "Our Chief Weapons" bit. * I love women, am not scared of them etc etc. Yes, he'd just hit puberty by the time he left. If we're going to be picky, didn't Tate effectively become a quasi-Doctor until it started to burn out her brain and she got wiped? I had remembered him much more fondly. Absolutely bloody outraged!" What next: Mr Marple, Miss Poirot, Wonder Man, Cleopatra, Salome, Frankenstein (creator or monster) ... Why is it PC, to a have a lead character with two hearts, from an alien planet, that changes appearance completely every single time to change gender? This way Beeb makes it about the programme and DM/The Sun etc doing their "New Doctor Who actor gets clothes off" headlines are following not leading. Do you mean Susan, the granddaughter of Death? Christopher Lloyd is THE definitive time lord. I know, not related at all; just two random brain cells rubbing together. Having to add "It's a joke" to a comment or statement, reminds me of people who have to add "I'm not a racist but" to the start of whatever they are going to say. would that help you out? It never occured to me that was a typo... "I've always thought the best Doctor was the one you watched between the ages of 7 and 10". You mean she looks like a Redgrave or a Richardson. The Time War has been a central part of Doctor Who mythology since 2005. Chibnall has not just backtracked Doctor Who convention, managing to prioritize canon over story more severe than his predecessors, he's also failed to understand the very facets of the character. You would expect that the closer you get to the present, they would be easier to watch, but for me they're not, so I can only put this down to the fact that I never saw them when young, and therefore there is no "inner child" to offset my 21st Century expectations. But yes, they would both do very well at shrugging and carrying on as if nothing had happened - much as everyone else should be doing. You can make the regeneration episode partly about the character coming to terms with their new gender. I've always thought the best Doctor was the one you watched between the ages of 7 and 10 (which in my case was Pertwee). And frankly, I'm just glad to finally see the back of Moffat. Christopher Eccleston was a tortured war veteran, still reeling from the Time War and perceived crimes of the War Doctor. As the surgeon is preparing they suddenly turn to their colleagues and state "I cannot operate". "If you don't like people having to make an assumption then why make room for assumption? As to woman been there done that with Missie. But then again, I've never been one for worrying about who stars in what. Well that's all very well but with the majority of the story lines revolving around the Doctor's cock and balls you can see why some of the fans are worried about how that is going to work now. I dont watch it nor give a hoot about it (not that I have a problem with others enjoying it). It's generally accepted he's a renegade Time Lord who took the TARDIS - forever stuck as a 1960s police box due to a broken chameleon circuit - who has an overbearing care for the human race, but who each iteration of the Doctor is varies from regeneration to regeneration. The question of whether or not all of Whittaker’s companions will stay onboard is an entirely different matter. Why don't you see it as just a simple choice that reflects the times that we are living in? The rantings that WW was the first female heroine was quickly shot down with a list because people can and deserve to do things on their own merit. Totally agree. Anyone else who remembers the original series remember how annoying Peri or the earlier Australian companion were - the less said about Bonnie Langford the better. He really livened up the show after the slightly dull Pertwee years. Jodie Whittaker (born 17 June 1982) is an English actress. It's okay, the website has nothing to do with the newspaper, it's just chance that the Daily Mail and the Mail Online are the same building. But that's a superficial reading of what the show and character are, and certainly doesn't line up with anything else from Jodie Whittaker's performance. Considering that they were working with a 20 minute episode format the amount of time spent on the subject can't be anything less than an intentional lesson for the viewers. Growing up in the English countryside on a mixture of Star Wars, The Simpsons and Aardman, Alex is a lifelong movie obsessive. Peter Capaldi, Doctor number 12, will regenerate after four years in the BBC's Christmas 2017 special to take on his new, female form. Absolutely. There are only two Doctors of note ... Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker. Us pesky feminazis, running every international corporation, taking over every board room, in charge of every large charity, dominating the UK Supreme Court and ditto the House of Commons. Baker was, of course, almost born for the role and his concept of a time-travelling Harpo Marx was inspired. Half the time I love his characterization, half the time I hate it with a vengeance. Doctor Who (TV Series 2005– ) - Jodie Whittaker as The Doctor - IMDb. But the precedence was already there. All others pale into insignificance. I wonder if things will swing back when people get bored of knowing everything in advance?". Probably a heretical opinion here, but I find the "new" episodes better than the classic ones, which frankly are quite dated. We last saw Capaldi's Doctor fighting his regeneration in Series 10, …. compared to the TV in many countries of thr world, the BBC is a breath of fresh air due to the stupid ad breaks. Look at "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship" - utterly barmy yet wonderfully thought out with a delightful piece of pathos at the end thanks to Mark Williams. 'Survives' may be a more appropriate term. Since it was revived in 2005, Doctor Who has defined itself on season-long arcs that unfold in the background to the individual episodes, in stark contrast to the four, six, eight or ten-episode serials of the classic series. There isn't a plot. I thought Broadchurch had a cracking first season but season 2 and definitely 3 were a bit so and so. The season arc was a straight-up twist in Christopher Eccleston's era, with the phrase Bad Wolf following the Doctor and Rose Tyler unspoken during season 1, and made the way for more inventive setups of Torchwood in season 2 (seeing its origins in a Queen Victoria historical adventure before winks and nods later on) and The Master's return in season 3 ("You are not alone", Mr. Saxon and the Chameleon Arch). Jodie Whittaker has done well in both comedy and drama, and I have no doubt she can handle the role well, given a good script and story arc. (Although admittedly, events leading to a regeneration are a story...). Will the programme be renamed to Nurse Who? Time was when part of watching a program was to be surprised by it. Reviews and opinions of it are ....mixed. Intollerable! I think the biggest pity is that Christopher Eccleston only got the one series. The Handmaid's Tale: Is [SPOILER] Still Alive? It didn't matter if an hour was tied to the bigger plot, just that the adventure at hand was a strong story in its own right. Unfortunately, two seasons and over three years since Jodie Whittaker's announcement, Doctor Who doesn't feel invigorated as much as hampered. For many of us Jon was our first Doctor so will always rate highly, but I agree all of the incarnations have brought something to the party. Doctor Who season 11 in 2018 was a hard reset for the show, the biggest since the revival began 13 years previously. Is Who even a medical doctor? Because Doctor Who isn't a character from the times we're living in? Her personality and relationships are variable, with a scattered temperament that's unclear if it's a key trait or weak writing. Doctor Who season 12 looked to be correcting that. Last time I looked I was alive. She said not to be afraid of her gender. It's pretty obvious that the gender change is part of the TLs natural life cycle. Yes he's admitted he's always wanted a female Doctor, because he like strong female roles, and wants to see what JW will do with it. Coming off a stellar run on Broadchurch that displayed immense emotional maturity, a strong understanding of modern British culture, and the ability to balance tense overarching plots with character-driven episodic storytelling, he appeared to be the perfect antidote the tired later years of Steven Moffat's tenure. "PS. It's a pity Liz Smith is no longer with us - that would have been brilliant. I'm all in favour of strong female lead roles, Voyager is my second favourite Trek partly for that reason (Patrick Stewart is too awesome to come second), but making The Doctor female seems like pandering to political correctness/feminism to me. 3. angry Daleks switch to chanting 'menstruate, menstruate! Give the new Doctor some decent scripts and storylines. Even though most seasons were built around the payoff finales, it worked because the setup was fun in its own right. She's a terrific actor who's done a lot of different stuff. Does that make it incest or gay? As an avid fan of the likes of Asimov and Clark who studies quantum physics for fun in my spare time, I resent that remark. All others pale into insignificance.". I think I heard somewhere about a new Thor, God of Thunder being a woman in a re-make. Hated Capaldi when he started , now I'm sorry to see him go. That suggests the wounds of the Time War have healed at last; presumably, the Doctor has been able to move on now she knows she didn't destroy Gallifrey at all but instead saved her homeworld. PS. He's covered a wide range of movies and TV shows - from digging out obscure MCU Easter eggs to diving deep into deeper meanings of arthouse fare - and has covered a litany of set visits, junkets and film festivals.

I'm re-viewing his first season on disc so maybe I'll learn to like him better. Ah but we still don't know if they've done Jim the Fish yet...? About time. I feel really sorry for the actress. For some reason makes me think of Doctor Girlfriend. I suspect that 3 or 4 episodes into the next season we'll all be able to tell which has happened. Rule 2 to be reserved for the exclusive use of the Brigadier, even if it means getting someone in to impersonate a much younger Nicholas Courtney, with something along the lines of "Oh well, it was bound to happen one day" before proceeding to completely overlook the change. No icon to allow readers to project their own interpretation-->. There's always someone who needs it explaining. Whittaker's debut as the Thirteenth Doctor heralds a new era for the BBC's long-running sci-fi series. They've been hinting at it for ages and setting precedent for cross-gender regenerations. The acting is usually better in the new ones, which makes the totally implausible stories fly. I'm totally with you on the whole spoilers thing, often friends ask me "have you seen the trailer for [new film]?" You are absolutely flipping bonkers, aren't you? Still iconic though, no matter who plays him. Some of the scripts have been stinkers, but some have had moments of inspired brilliance - the long way round springs to mind, as does the breaking of the fourth wall to ask "who wrote Beethoven's Fifth?". Reading this thread and thinking of some of the comments about William Hartnell being a great doctor, time traveling grumpy old man, I can't help thinking there should be no problem with a woman playing could you imagine Maggie Smith or Judi Dench doing a Hartnell like doctor, they'd be awesome. I dont know if she was hired for her acting ability or because she has 2 humps on her chest but the reporting of her appointment does seem to reduce her to female bits. I was unaware until now just how much I want to see this. Doctor Who's Jodie Whittaker wants this huge Hollywood star to feature in the show "The world gave her an identity but her own identity was very different." What's wrong, guys, did mommy shut off the Playstation? You really need to be telling the old one that goes .... A man and his son are involved in a terrible car accident. He was able to explain a 43-year-old plot hole that the fandom had widely dismissed, but was it worth it? As you rightly pointed out humour is subjective - just because you dont get it doesnt mean its not funny. 5. Apart from the possible tension would Bill be helping the Doctor with being female? (But would that have limited him to 8 reincarnations?). Or did Russell T. Shitforbrains "just decide" it was too inconvenient one day ? The Doctor has always (Joanna Lumley and Lenny Henry notwithstanding) been played as a character who is male and white, but is an alien whose appearance occasionally changes, sometimes quite dramatically. This is just PC madness and if they wanted to do a female Dr then why not create a different timelord character, you wouldn't have Miss Marple played by Brian Blessed or Superman played by Bonnie Langford. Which is sadly where Dr Who lost me quite some time ago. First Doctor: Goodness me! In the Classic Who era, it was Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor who lived the longest (by one measure, at least), playing the Doctor for 41 stories or 172 episodes or seven seasons. Posting in a pro feminist group an acquaintance wrote: 'A female Doctor Who is wrong after all it is 'Doctor Who' not 'Nurse Who.''. Or a protandrous hermaphrodite. Sometimes actors get the job because they're damn good at it. If you want a time lady then being back Romana (who incidentally was briefly black - no issues there, in fact Idris Alba for James Bond) - this though feels forced. I've put up with several series of Capalldi* Im hardly going to tune out because of this! If the new Doctor was an orca or an elephant or some other intelligent species, it would be fun and weird. This produced one Mail Online headline that saw Whittaker pleading with Who snowflakers not to be "scared" of her agenda. "A man and his son are involved in a terrible car accident.". But what's wrong with the idea of a black Spiderman? And it's likely that Hartnell would have kept going if he didn't become ill and have to give up the role. Davidson's doctor cured me of the show, mostly because I hated his companions, his tooth-achingly bad obsession with cricket and that damned celery stalk. He'd have to grow the beard out a bit more to truly get into character, though. You make a fair point. In the general context here, that sort of questions is usually used to imply someone is a latent gay in a derogatory way. I don't ask you to pay my Sky subscription so I can watch live test match cricket.". To fight evil and succeed at Time Lord stuff. I, for one, welcome our new female OverTime Lord! Dr who has always been a man and Dr Frank-n-Furter should remain in the Rocky Horror Show doing the timewarp and not in Dr Who. Which, if you've ever read the book that deals with Time Lord reproduction (I'm not certain of the title right at the moment. Sarcasm ! >There are only two Doctors of note ... Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker. The new Doctor Who's? But then she might be homophobic! But it seems that, for new showrunner Chris Chibnall, it is time for the series to move on and forget this theme. The Corsair anyone (well at least one or two of their regenerations, to get even more geeky...), Oh blimey flip. "Who" is actually subsidising everything that you do watch, so stop frothing. The Time Lords had previously extended the number of regenerations available to the Master. See Jemma Redgrave's turn as Kate Stewart, and indeed the spin-off portrayal. BBC. You can choose not to fund it. A long time ago, I met a female consultant urology surgeon (as part of my work, not to have my bits seen to!) That said I hope she doesn't quit after five minutes like the recent Doctors all have. Never going to watch TV again. Next thing you'll be telling us is the shark is delivering candygrams. If your'e gong to complain about the numbering, please get it right. The timelord of Doctor Who, a man since 1963, will be portrayed by a woman – actress Jodie Whittaker – for the first time. Stand her between Laura Kuenssberg and Emily Maitlis and spot the odd one out. Indeed, the final twist of David Tennant's run was that the "he will knock four times" prophecy referred not to The Master, but kindly old Wilf, who'd been slowly rising in prominence over the past couple of years. My version involves a doctor going into the bar of a pub, orders a pint of beer, and says to the barman "See that man in the lounge, that's my son, give him a drink and tell him his father just died". The world is a fluid place. Do you need your Daily Mail website account back as well? The die hard fans represent a relatively small component of the viewership, the majority of the viewers will only be concerned with if the stories are entertaining. Pity that you have to stop viewing some other excellet programmes that the BBC make at the same time. From the Wife belittling me for my choice in fiction to her being a staunch Dr Who fan. To have a hugely successful show. Pertwee had the advantage (for me) of being an actor I loved in other roles - The Navy Lark springs to mind - but was saddled with the at the time infuriating lack of a working time machine and a surfeit of what I call "70s Stupids" - special effects and script "bits" that were supposed to be cool but were cringe-inducing in their naffness.
