Dr. Who Another Victim Of 'equal Opportunities'?

[AuntLydia]

Good grief that was awful. I knew she would be irritating having watched her cringe worthy interviews pre Dr. Who but....? tonight's episode should have stunned, should have been yeh this is a good move'. No. Dr. Who should not be gender specific -it is an alien FFS, not a northern lass with a 'gob on'. So what will be her USP? A sonic tampon? god help the Daleks should they meet her 'at her time of the month' annihilation . Could be interesting. We have been avid Dr' Who fans forever. First episode this series 4/10... could do better.

[AuntLydia]

Talbot: How can you compare a scarecrow that come alive with an alien with two hearts that time travels? No comparison....;-)

[bainbrig]

It’s a bit far-fetched, isn’t it. We all know Time Lords are men. It really isn’t believable any more.

[AuntLydia]

bainbrig could not agree more. Who on earth would allow a woman to drive a Tardis? They must be MAD! No wonder she's lost it! Probably parked it in Sainsbury's car park and forgotten where it is!

[ToraToraTora]

I caught about 10 seconds of it, gobby northern bird! Could not tolerate it.

[woofgang]

lol @ bainbrig. I enjoyed it. I thought it was a good rollicking starter story and am looking forward to seeing the character develop. Aunt L spouting that sonic tampon/time of the month rubbish is soooooo last century.

I guess I'm just an old fashioned girl woofy xxxx

Forgot woman don't have periods or use Tampons in 2018....silly me...

What a sad thread and very strange and childish OP. Though it was to be expected... :-(

[Adfa]

I found it absolutely dreadful

[AuntLydia]

Hello gness! Hope you and Dave are having a blissful evening together . xxxxxxx

[AuntLydia]

asfa What did you find the most dreadful?

[gness]

Why would we not? Could you not have done a more reasoned and grown up review of this programme?

[AuntLydia]

gness reasoned and grown up.......I rest my case. have a lovely evening, you and dave.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Adfa]

Doesn't Time Lord give it away but I thought I'd give it a try but the acting was so wooden it annoyed me

[Cloverjo]

I'm just halfway through watching it on iPlayer. It's ok so far. Too tired to watch the rest now. Might finish it tomorrow but won't be in a massive hurry to.

I think it's fine with the Doctor being a woman. Why on Earth not?

[Ken4155]

Took me about 3 or 4 episodes to warm to Matt Smith and a few more with Peter Capaldi. Instantly took to Jodie Whittaker and thought the series opener was decent enough without being exceptional in any way. Perhaps, as Aunt Lydia does seem to have a problem with the lady Doc's 'Northenness', future episodes should be dubbed in Gallifreyan and sport sub-titles.

[Mamyalynne]

You may have a valid point there Ken, perhaps I got along with it because I am a gobby Northern lass - albeit from across the Pennines.

[goodgoalie]

I thought she looked and sounded like Leanne from Coronation Street. Bradley Walsh seemed bemused and like he'd wandered in from some other programme. Maybe he was wondering if he was just a token white actor.

[Mamyalynne]

Bemused, aye tha would be with what went on.

no, they have hairy backs and penises. do keep up.....

given the graveyard slot scheduling I did wonder if the BBC might use the leaked plot devices of the crash of the tardis and the doctor's loss of identity to "update" the show's premise and turn it into a kind of virtue signalling northern soap for snowflakes.

[emmie]

considering its time slot, not sure i will watch again. But i have no issue with Jodie Whittacker.
