Good grief! The reactions of some of those commenting! I no longer understand the thinking of many of the people who live in these islands.

It's hilarious! The Telegraph is much the same!

Brexit Britain at it's most pompous

This guy is the voice of reason:

This is a show about an alien whose race changes bodies bodies when they die, but no this one isn't allowed to be female ever. It's a tv show people.

He'll be on about 20k thumbs down by midnight. I've never really watched Dr Who, not my thing, but can't see the big deal about it being a woman tbh. Does it matter?

Absolute disgrace. The boy has just signed a contract with us - he needs to concentrate on his football, he can save the world in his own time.

I've emailed the club.

***Mon Dieu4*** · 16-07-2017 05:19 PM

I actually really like Dr Who, it's harmless fun, I don't mind that a shapeshifting alien is going to be a woman this time, twitter has went into overdrive about it on all sides, didn't realise Dr Who was so popular

***easty*** · 16-07-2017 04:27 PM

Can women be doctors? This is ridiculous.

Apparently they can even drive trains! Who'd have thunk it!

Surely it'll have to be renamed 'Nurse Who' ;-)

**Colr** · 16-07-2017 05:50 PM

It seems to be traditional for the Doctor to live in North London - at any one time, we can have 3 doctors and the master in my neighbourhood.

I wonder when she's moving in.

I am 57 and I don't care! Ditto the new Bond. BBC totems.

**SuperAllyMcleod** · 16-07-2017 05:50 PM

I find it a bit sad that this is even news - "job given to a woman" - it's the 21st century, the notion that certain jobs cannot be done by women should have been consigned to history by now.

I don't usually watch but I may do so just to ensure that the ratings don't give the detractors a chance to say "we told you so".

So Doctor Who.......

is an alien....cool
is thousands of years old......neat
can regenerate multiple times and gets a new body and personality every time......wow
is a time-traveller.....thats incredible
has a spaceship that looks like a phonebox.......what fun
but its actually really really massive inside.......nice!
and it also changes its interior when the doctor regenerates.......makes sense
saves the world using a sonic screwdriver.....a what?
looks like a really fat pen with a light and goes "woo-ee-ooo"........strange but acceptable
The doctor is super smart, protects the human race from evil aliens, dislikes violence and guns........sounds like a real hero
and then there are the companions.........who?
the companions that travel with the doctor, the current one is a black lesbian........nice to have a bit of diversity.
Oh and the next regeneration makes The Doctor a woman.........HOLD ON, THATS OUTRAGEOUS AND TOTALLY WRONG!!!!!!!!

people are s**t they really are

It's PC gone mad.

The whole universe must be laughing at us.

***Jonnyboy*** · 16-07-2017 10:09 PM

I'm quite chuffed for her. I thought she was brilliant in Broadchurch

**Pete** · 16-07-2017 11:55 PM

They've only done this so they can pay the Doctor 10% less.

***Hibrandenburg*** · 17-07-2017 06:54 AM

I see the predictable Tardis parking funnies are already doing the rounds.

**heretoday** · 17-07-2017 08:24 AM

The beeb must be delighted with the furore they have created by splashing this all over the news bulletins. It's pretty cynical really.

Spot on. My point in a nutshell. Do the BBC themselves commisssion Dr Who and reap the profits? If so, good for them.

With Bond however, it is a totally commercial enterprise separate to the BBC yet the latter gives Bond massive free publicity-- why?

And now we have to sign in to I Player to watch what I have already paid for via my license...

Indeed. Britain benighted masses are seething. Some may have even exploded with hyper- apoplexic rage.

**Onceinawhile** · 17-07-2017 05:25 PM

Disgusted that almost 8% of the people who have played Dr who are female!

Where's the equality towards men? Are we supposed to deal with a meagre 92%?

Next they'll be wanting the vote.
