Has Political Correctness Ruined Dr Who?

[thesshhh]

I think so. It’s pathetic now

At the moment I feel Jodie Whitaker is trying too hard to be 'The Doctor'. Hopefully she will calm down and find her own 'Doctor' but at the moment she seems to be overacting to the point of seeming high on Coke.

Her overacting really is nothing compared to Tennant or Smith. I'm personally not too keen on "whacky" doctors but it is a valid way of doing the character and she is perfectly consistent with the others.

[AuntLydia]

Kromo that is the problem -she is too much like Matt Smith's Doctor, who I found very irritating too. Peter Capaldi did a sterling job despite some dire scripts, just the right amount of wackiness with a bit of an underlying dark side. Oh well we'll see how it pans out. I'm waiting in anticipation of the first LGBT Dalek and a black cyberman.

I recall an episode where a dark skinned actress played the part of a woman partially through a transformation to be a "cyberman". It's what's on the inside that counts.

[Old_Geezer]

From Torchwood I believe.

AOG you can't say Cyberman anymore its gender specif. ;-) Startrek had the right idea with its Cyborgs.
