DOCTOR… WHO? BY Comrade ROSS' SUN TV CRITIC
IT’S Jodie Whittaker so. A woman. And one who certainly deserves the statement “who?”.
She was in Broadchurch, apparently, tho’ I’m damned if I can remember her. But that wasn’t the location of yesterday’s weird Wimbledon stoppage, which began when Roger Federer nipped for a assign-victory slash.
By the time he’d Dried apricot his hands, Jodie had tramped concluded woods to the Tardis and the mass eruptive of PC virtue signalling had begun.
Anterior out the traps, with the empty signal, Yvette Cooper MP who tweeted: “Excellent”.
That’s Yvette Craftsman of the Labour Party which hasn’t cum close to having a female doyen in more than 100 dayspring.
The role of The Doctor, of course, is minor extent – but only slightly – more petty than opposition leader. It’s a fault kids’ show for crying out emphatic.
There’s no shortage of good impersonation for actresses on TV.
Jodie Whittaker isn’t equitable going to inspire a generation of callow girls to become asexual age travellers, is she?
So they could ordain a horse to the role and I still wouldn’t practically care.
Here is a revolutionary aim for BBC drama to demonstrate its commitment to sexuality equality, though.
How about, blameless once, creating a soap theater role for a man in a suit who isn’t a complete b*****d?

IS IT RIGHT TO PICK A Feminine DOCTOR?
YES – Says Chris Balcome, a superfan who owns a 1963 Dalek
Several fans seem to want to kill Jodie without even in the light of her in action.
The Doctor has always been geek. It doesn’t matter who plays the Fix – man or woman – you’ve got to have extreme plots and good scripts. Expectantly Jodie will get both.
Testament she keep the current assistant, Reward, who at the end of the last series transformed into a Cyberman? We let never seen the Doctor with a above. Maybe this will precursor a lesbian relationship.
That in truth would get the die-hard Doctor Who aficionado debating.
People are happy to deem in a 900-year-old alien with two pump who can travel through time and restore.
I think they’ll get their belfry around the idea that the fix can be a woman.
NO – Says Sebastian J Run, Editor of Doctor Who Online
I AM unquestionably surprised the BBC has taken such a chance.
Doctor Who has clearly had a preference to be a man up to this head, so why would he all of a sudden be a woman?
The oecumenical view among fans was they craved the Doctor to remain male. Any have said they faculty stop watching if it is a woman.
Which I estimate is a shame, because it is a show approximately change.
It will totally moderate the dynamic of the show. Billie Bagpiper and Catherine Tate have shown that thither is already a platform for strong females.
A masculine companion will be very contradistinct.
I don’t know if the BBC have ticked that box or if it will be the injection the show be in want of.
