The New Doctor
Great choice or 'political correctness gone mad'
Personally I wanted Tilda Swindon, but that was unlikely to ever happen.

Dammit I thought I was posting in this thread but it was the other one. Doh. A few years ago I’d have thought it was a daft idea but the plotlines have allowed for it, so as long as there’s some “ internal” logic for it I’m not bothered. Plus I’ve been feeling for a while that it’s grown stale and complacent, and is in need of a firm kick up the rear end....

I'm not sure how it will work but I might give it another go, loved the Tennant and Eccleston series', went downhill for me with Matt Smith (more him) and not seen any of the Capaldi ones.
I'd like to get back in to it though. I used to love it. I wasn't too sure about Tilda Swinton, maybe a little too out there for me, but then it is The Doctor!

She was in all three series' of Broadchurch Old Geezer, the mum of the victim in the first series.
Will be strange her not having the put on accent she has in Broadchurch!
I was expecting some programme and build up like last time! Not much of a fanfare announcing it like that.
They could have Tardis'd on to Centre Court or something!

I doubt it's anything to do with political correctness - the role has evolved & the writers need to keep it as fresh as possible.
I think (& hope) she'll be good as the Doctor. For me, Tilda Swinton would have been an awful choice.
I wasn't overly keen on Peter Capaldi or Matt Smith - David Tennant absolutely nailed the part though.

David Bradley is reprising Hartnell in the role - he made a brief appearance at the end of the recent series, perhaps to return in the Christmas special? The story does hark back to -
"...1966 serial The Tenth Planet, which saw the Doctor (William Hartnell) and his companions travel to the South Pole only to grapple with the original Mondasian Cybermen as they attempted to take over the human race." (Radio Times)
