I remembered when it was announced back in 2017 and seeing her initial design and being hopefully optimistic about it, shame it turned out to be such a disaster. Made me go from being cautious about the idea of a female Doctor to adamantly opposed.

I'm calling bullshit, because there's no way you could see Jodie in her rainbow suspenders and karen haircut and think "This has potential."

As Starborn mentioned this is the image I saw when I first saw the reveal. The colors and design was more muted and didn't look so garish and ugly. I would have be fine with this. Seeing this while I wasn't excited, I was more cautious than automatically pessimistic. Was hoping at the very least it wouldn't be a spiteful trash fire which it inevitably turned out to be. When I first saw it was in a place with shitty internet so I couldn't see any interviews until a bit later when I saw she was talking about how this was an accomplishment "as a woman" and that's when I started bailing out, but for the first second I saw the reveal picture I was more cautious than adamantly opposed.

I get they were trying to go for a Tennant kind of character again, but Jodie has none of his charm. She's way better suited to either serious or grounded roles. Funnily enough, the best performance I've seen from her in Doctor Who was during Flux when the timey wimey shit was happening and 13 turned into the policewoman riding along with Yaz.
 
They really should of tried to try and get somebody like Diane Morgan or Sheridan Smith to play the Doctor.
 
Wait, is Neil Patrick Harris really the Celestial Toymaker? Isn't that changing an Asian character to White? I thought the original problem was that it was a White guy playing a Chinese guy with a name that was a racist pun. You'd think they'd keep him Chinese and cast a Chinese guy (let's be honest, a Korean guy). I can't keep up with this shit.

There was genuine excitement in the thread (I've just been reading it from the start) and optimism for about three pages before they released this:
and the mood soured.

I'd be happier to see a version of Lucie Miller on screen played by Sheridan Smith, tbh. For a female doctor I'd want either Jessica Raine, Suranne Jones or Natalie Dormer (but I just fancy her) in the role. Sadly the first two have already appeared in the show, that didn't stop Capaldi, however.

Jesus Christ... You see the announcements and you go through all the shit writing, crap effects, piss poor acting... I've been watching Doctor Who since I was born. Capaldi got the wrong end of the stick, and Jodi has just been bad. Hell even the canon wipe I plowed on through. But this ... This is just too far.

Edit: And to be clear (and without power leveling too much), I don't mean I started watching with the relaunch in the aughts. I started in the "classic" era Who. Cardboard sets and Adric got nothing on this monstrosity.

Fucking poser!

I bet you don't even know who Graham Williams is.

If we are picking cast members of Call the Midwife I would say Charlotte Ritchie.
They really should have tried to get Olivia Coleman to try and become the Doctor when they had the chance.
 
Lost one of the greats this weekend

Best thing BF ever did was give this guy the tardis keys

Bernard Cribbins aka Wilfred Mott has passed away at the age of 93. It's likely that his final role will be reprising the role of Wilf alongside David Tennant in the upcoming special.

I was just watching something with him in it last night. Why am I always predicting people’s deaths like this?!?

Currently Twitter is angry because Moffat said he has conservative friends in a instagram post telling off someone who went to complain to him about how they were blocked by RTD because RTD didn’t agree with their political views.

RTD really lost me for good when he talked about trannies literally being killed last year , because of the LGB terves.

Damn near foamed at the mouth.

I know he's always been that way , but it was deranged, even for him.
