Jodie Bland

[Theblip]

How apt that the blandest Dr Who ever has the blandest ever edition of Who Do You Think You Are, usually one of my favourite series. I’d say that I can’t wait for her to be replaced as the Time Lord, but we all know the BBC’s priorities for her replacement will be box-ticking political correctness. What do you reckon? More disappointing is that David Walliams is next up on WDYTYA

[Mamyalynne]

Tonight's wasn't the best episode but none of us can say how entertaining our ancestors might be to others, I quite enjoyed it.

[woofgang]

I never watch the program (WDYTYA) and liked Jodie as the Doctor but thought she was let down by the stories.

[Georgiesmum]

I dont normally watch it, Is the David Walliams one on next Monday or is it on before then?

[ummmm]

I'd wish people would stop with the box-ticking rubbish.

It's 2020....it's about bloody time they tried new things. If it doesn't work, don't worry, it won't last.

[Mozz71]

I have no problem with Jodie Whittaker, the problem with the current version of Doctor Who is with the writing, not the actress.

[Mamyalynne]

Stop with the box ticking rubbish, moaning and playing games with names?

Won't happen,some folk are sadly just made that way.

[andy-hughes]

Who does David Walliams think he is?

A clever comedian and highly rated children's author who thinks the public persona of someone's perverted uncle is an attractive persona to present to the world at large.

[emmie]

i like Jodie and think will do a catch up later on, i agree about the stories on Doctor Who, mostly abysmal...which is a shame.

[Theblip]

Mamyalynne, it is your beloved BBC that do the box-ticking, and to such an extent in recent times that that once great institution has become a pathetic joke no longer fit for purpose

[Bobbisox1]

Haven't watched Dr Who so the name meant nothing to me, I find David Walliams a complex character ,camp as Christmas but I think his story will be interesting so I will watch it

[gingejbee]

People on here do love to rant about the same old stuff, don't they?

[Bazile]

Do the sets still shake in Dr Who ?

[Mozz71]

//Do the sets still shake in Dr Who?//

No, just the toxic fanbase. There are a lot of keyboards with the keys W,O,K and E worn out from mouth frothing Whovians.

[ToraToraTora]

well the next Dr Who, will probably be a non white TG disabled dwarf lesbian against the bomb!

[Mamyalynne]

Thank you for singling me out Blip, the BBC is not 'beloved' to me - it does turn out some good programmes as well as some I don't touch with a barge pole.

Like everyone I choose what to watch.

I fail to see how having a female in a show such as Dr Who is controversial in any way - she's not the best Doctor but she certainly isn't the worst.

[Mamyalynne]

Put your money where your mouth is TTT.

[Ken4155]

Sylvester McCoy, anyone????

//a non white TG disabled dwarf lesbian against the bomb!//

Well that should make for quite a lively Who Do You Think You Are so at least the OP will be happy.

[Barsel]

Can't comment on Dr Who as I've never watched it in my life, but I saw Jodie in Broadchurch and she seemed good in that. I did watch WDYTYA last night and I did find it boring. One of the best I saw was when it was Mark Rylance. Will watch David Walliams next week and hope he has his serious hat on and doesn't flaff about.

WDYTYA will be a bit boring all this year because of Covid; they can't go zipping around interviewing people and poring through archives as normal.
