Jodie Whittaker is the 13th Doctor
- Thread starter Emperor-Tiberius
- Start date
People said the BBC would never hire a woman and what's wrong with hypothetical. First there is going to be a new doctor in 3 years. Second the BBC might want Doctor Who to be a global brand. Finally the argument against makes no sense. It's either I don't like it or I'm an Anglophile.
You have a HUGE chip on your shoulder about the fact the the latest incarnation of a fictional shapeshifting alien is going to be played by a woman. You have thrown a multi-page meltdown "like a snowflake" over "just a TV show" that you claim you're not even going to watch anymore (though I don't buy that for a second). For Christ's sake, get some perspective and self-awareness of your behavior. You're embarrassing yourself.
Many French people like Tea and quote Shakespeare just like many Brits drink coffee, have affairs and quote Victor Hugo.
A woman doctor has been discussed for as long as I can remember and we're discussing it now because it's happened. I've never heard anyone seriously suggest a French actor as the Doctor until you did. If Vincent Cassell or whoever lands the role in 2020, we can debate it then but right now I simply have zero interest in continuing this conversation and won't reply again.
Yeah, to think the BBC would look outside of The UK, let alone the British Isles is pie in the sky thinking. Plus there are enough Middle and Upper Class actors to fill the role.
I can see it happening if the BBC joins up with Netflix/Hulu and they move production to the US to save cost.
That's a bloody big if. If they go into co-production with anyone it'll be BBCA.
There's more British actors on US television right now than there are actors in Britain.
BBCA wouldn't have the money. Netflix and Hulu are literally throwing cash out.
An American Doctor has been discussed since the plans for the movie in the 90's. I think Will Smith's name was mentioned.
Heard the name, have no real familiarity with it. Assumed it may be a nickname for something else. *shrug*
When I was a kid, anorak was a good day...liking Doctor Who in my school for some reason led to assumptions and getting kicked about. Admittedly, being caught reading outside of class, let alone a doctor who book, would get a kicking too. Complex time, the wilderness years between Survival and the TVM.
That's the first time I've heard that.
Same here. In fact, I used it as an example of casting Joanna Lumley for awhile. She'd have been great.
In other news, with the sad passing of Doctor Who, let us look back on forty-five of the most-loved deaths of Doctor Who.
Actually, this regen could net two doctors. The feminine and the valeyard. With missy and doc having to team up. But then that sets up a good female vs bad male ( possibly white male) political drama thing going forward. That may be also bad..
