New Doctor to be revealed on Sunday

Never worried what kids hear since I was a kid and caught this on Sesame Street -

The Count's quite a motherf<BEEP>er...

I'm sure the nuWho will be too.
 
Maybe he just had a tight foreskin. :guffaw:

You really are a small minded child aren't you, maybe you should grow up and return in a decade or two.
What are you all on about?

Baker appeared nude in a movie.

Don't forget Katy Manning's infamous pic of her nu de and rubbing up on a Dalek. Go to http://tardis.wikia.com and look up Katy Manning, the pics in the wiki-article about her.

And we've got Curse Of The Fatal Death is pretty PG-13, and ends with the Doctor regenerating into a woman who discovers a new use for the Sonic Screwdriver and goes off with the Master to have sex.
 
More wilfull missing of the point. I'm on about the children. I wouldn't want 6 year olds hearing violent swearing when they try and find out more about the new Doctor Who, and that's undoubtedly what they'll come across. Why is this simple and reasonable point (unless people think it's fine for children to hear "fuck" and "cunt") so difficult for people to grasp?

I very much doubt many 6 year olds will have watched The Thick of It. Or be allowed to play on Youtube unsupervised to do their own research. Cos, y'know, they're six.
We can but hope, but this choice of actor won't help. It's foreseeable that they'll want to see who this new man playing their hero is, and it follows that some will then be exposed to some foul language.
Are you an 80 year old nun?
 
Let's see them make good on this.....

Why not, since most of the new cast members are coming from this episode
 
I'd be more accepting of that angle if this wasn't the attitude. Cast the best person possible and that person just happens to be a woman or black? Alright, sure. It's possible.

There is no single "best person possible". There isn't a mathematical equation with one solution. There would be many potentially great doctors each bringing something different to the role.

And it sounds like this guy could be great. I don't think the beeb have made a bad choice, just a pretty traditional one.
 
And the female tweenage demographic is cast into the vortex.

It's the same demographic that foisted Twilight and Hunger Games on us. Let 'em twist.
Sir, I like the cut of your giblets.

And for all those who haven't seen Torchwood: Children of Earth...

Now. Do it now. Right now. It's grim and dark and even in places downright creepy and scary... and is IMO one of the best, maybe even the best, broadcast SF ever made. Now.

An older doctor, maybe could work, it has before. A female doctor, right now at least it's too far a contrast to what we've ever had before. We're just not ready, and I'm on of the whovians who firmly hated the idea of a woman doctor.
You realize you sound just like the people in this country who said "The US isn't ready for a black president," in 2008. It sounds ridiculous.

Yeah how that turned out. Worst dam President ever.
Really? After W? You should drop into TNZ sometime and discuss it.
 
Obama is an ineffective cunt but that has very little to do with this thread, so let's stick to Doctor Who.
 
"here's an awful opinion, now back on topic guys so I don't get challenged on it".

It's neither. Jimmy Carter is the worst since 1900. Overall is Millard Fillmore.
I'd take Jimmy Carter over Clinton and Obama. He may have been dreadful overall, but some credit's due for the Camp David Accords (even if he hasn't half blotted his Israel copybook since) and for getting attacked by a giant rabbit. It takes a serpent like Obama to make you realise Carter's nowhere near the nadir.
 
I'd take Clinton over Carter and Obama.

Though I'd take living in Britain over all these options ;).

And I liked both Bushes. Yes, all of you hated 43. Yes he was evil oil cia business man. Yes he was stupid. Yadda yadda. Can we get back to celebrating the 12th doctor now?
