So do I (in fact, as many of you know I've only just started watching Nu-Who again after a long hiatus) but I can't see how you can write-off someone without having seen them in the role - unless you're familiar with them as an actor/actress and aren't a fan of them in general of course.

I just hope they use the character properly and don't try to high-light the fact that she's a woman all the time like it's just some tired PR stunt.

I probably would, but I would need to find the time in amongst work, uni assignments and catching up on many other TV shows on Netflix, Amazon Video, Now TV, and my own pile of unwatched DVDs and BDs.

If it is the sort of show you can come to 'fresh' without any knowledge of the previous series, I might watch it when it is broadcast.

I watched the Matt Smith seasons without prior knowledge and found it OK, there were a few characters from previous arcs that I had no idea who they were but it wasn't confusing. However, I started watching from episode 1 recently as they're on Netflix, and I really enjoy Eccleston/Piper as a duo, it's a shame it was only one season, I'm still bracing myself for Tennant as I really dislike him

Interesting clip, new doctor vs old doctor.



Was looking up Jodie Whittaker as i was not familiar with her acting.
She seems pretty good from this clip and seems to be strong in her delivery of dialogue. Stands up well against Eccleston in my opinion.

I just hope Chris Chibnall writes the series better than Moffat and his clunky crew.

Russell T Davies gave the show some witty dialogue. Aside from the odd smutty line his political correctness was in saying that every planet has a north. He introduced the bi-sexual Captain Jack to the series, a brilliant character who's flirty delivery was tongue in cheek and not in the least bit PC, yet also realistic and became a firm favourite with the shows fans.

Whereas Steven Moffat rammed everything down our throats from gay Silurians (We're married you know), the Doctor having a wife - Riversong - to Capaldi lecturing us on sexual politics.

Why is this? Davies is gay but Moffat isn't. Surely it should have been the other way round. Except Moffat forced his ideas onto an audience whereas Davies let people make up their own minds with brilliant, action packed, event television.

People say the show has now died with a female Doctor. No, it started to die once a politically correct straight man was in charge of the show.

I hope Jodie Whitaker saves the show from what it became.

Anyone unfamiliar with her should check out Broadchurch (also starring David Tennant), great show and she was brilliant in it
