Thought last nights episode was great. My favourite Who episode for ages, better than the 50th anniversary for me. Looking forward to Peter but wish we could have seen more of him!
Doctor Who Official @bbcdoctorwho 55s 50 years ago today, the Doctor encountered the Daleks for the first time. You can watch that historic moment here: http://bbc.in/T9oWiM
Decent actress. Assuming she will have a male assistant. Change is good. I don't think Capaldi has worked in the role despite being a fantastic actor. Glad it's under Chibnall as new ideas are needed.
Didn't really enjoy this last series and think casting a woman was the right decision to bring a freshness to it. Don't know anything about her though as I'm apparently the only person left in the UK not to watch Broadchurch.

The first series is really good. Only made it about halfway through the second series as it was far inferior in my opinion, and haven't watched the third series. She was really good in it.
I think this has been coming for ages and the character of Missie was a big signpost. If the Doctor's oldest enemy could be a woman, why not the Doctor?
Well I think it's a stupid decision, understandable in these PC times but stupid nonetheless. I don't think it is sexist to say that the Doctor has a specific gender.
Less about the person playing the doctor they have had to concentrate on making the stories more accessible to the kids. Some of the stories were so hard to follow I could barely explain them to my kids. This series has been much better.

In what way is it stupid?
It seems to have garnered a huge amount of publicity. Many, many fans are delighted at the appointment. It's likely to boost viewing figures, which the BBC can use to feed into whatever tea-time weekend slots they want to enhance. She's a great actor. She's closer in age to the core Dr Who viewership than many of the previous doctors. And she'll be playing a several hundred year old, time-travelling, two-hearted alien, who traverses the universe in a 1950s British police box, uses a sonic screwdriver and fights daleks and cybermen: do you not think belief suspension could be stretched to accommodate a different gender too?
Why do you think it's stupid, when many people would call it incredibly astute?

Brilliant in Broadchurch, Black mirror and Attack the Block. Hope she does it in her Yorkshire accent. Great choice, hugely impressed
If so then good luck to her , if not then why ?
I'm not sure everyone got the fact that this was sarcastic....
Some may say Idris Elba being bond would be PC gone mad , personally I think he'd be amazing.
