Doctor Who

[MsMiaWallace]

Anyone going to be watching the new Doctor Who now it is a woman?
Love Jodie as an actress. Never been fussed on the doctor before!!

Yes the had the option to but her in adult women's clothes, I'd like a mint velvet feel, "relaxed glamour".

I didn't like it. 😩 Really wanted to, I love Doctor Who. Very pleased JW was keeping her Northern accent. Liked the clips we'd already seen. I had cautious high hopes.

I loved the first scenes with Ryan, his Nan and Graham but after the Doctor appeared it went down hill for me. Really miss Murray Gold's music as well, I thought JW's acting was a bit crap.

But looking at Twitter I might be in the minority.

I watched it and I actually really liked it. There is something so different from previous series and no I don't mean the gender of the main character. It had a very different feel to it.

Watching it now! On iPlayer

Oh I did like the Alien/monster though. That was really well done and genuinely scary looking.

I'm listening to DH watch it (I'll watch it later) and I'm just so fucking glad they didn't balls up dealing with Ryan's dyspraxia. Had real fears they'd fuck that one up.

I told DD that the monster was the tooth fairy.

In my defence, she’s 12!

That was complete rubbish. They were only missing a Chinese/Japanese companion to complete the set and be totally pc...

She was good but the plot and the script were dire.

I quite liked it, actually. I think she'll be a good Doctor. The Tim Shaw bit had me properly LOL but I am easily amused

And that's where the trousers came from

I thought it was great. It reminded me of a David Tennant episode. Looking forward to next week.

I laughed at Tim Shaw too Vagndidit

When I watch Corrie now all I will be able to think of is yes Leanne Battersby is Dr Who! Not just in looks but in character as well, Jane Danson could have played the role equally as Jodie Whittikar!

Chris Chibnall has a nephew with dyspraxia, so knows something about it.

I enjoyed it, first episodes of a new regeneration are usually a bit light on alien plot, and at least it didn’t have anything as ridiculous as the 11th Doctor’s fish fingers & custard sequence.

Not too sure about Graham, though I like the idea of an older guy, but it looks like he might turn into a negative disbeliever stereotype- I hope not.

I’ll be interested to see what the new opening titles look like next week.

20 minutes in and loving it!

I enjoyed it, I hated Moffats writing so stopped watching a while ago.
I have a secret crush on Bradley Walsh .
DD is a massive DW fan and loved it.

The storyline was pants. Most of it being in the dark didn't help. I like JW but something was grating on me. I think she just needs time to bed in. I bloody hated DT at first but by the end he was, and still is, my favourite Doctor.

And I hate the outfit.

Having a character have dyspraxia was good and they introduced it well. Was surprised and pleased with that.

There were glimmers of things I liked so I'll watch again next week. Hopefully it's just teething (!) problems.

I really enjoyed the story and all the characters but I just can't get my head around Dr Who being a woman! And one that looks like Leanne Battersby!🙈😂

Well, we really enjoyed it in this house.

I always feel the first few with a new Dr are a bit strange, until you settle into it.

But, I thought it was very good.

We enjoyed it in our house.

Except for the teeth. That was disgusting and made me feel weird.

I liked it that her clothes came from the charity shop.

I thought it was dreadful.

The story line wasn't the least bit original or remarkable. Don't like any of the new personality and charisma free side-kicks and the flapping cuffs are really annoying.

So we are watching it now.

She can't seem to breathe and speak - too much gasping.

We don't like it. She's trying too hard to be a character.

At least the plot is easy.

Loved it.

Was worried about the whole "female Doctor" thing and really hoped it would work out... it was actually even better than I'd thought it might be. JW is going to be a great Doctor Who.

DS aged 13 is a massive Doctor Who fan and has not batted an eyelid about the whole male/female thing, much to my relief. Says he can't wait to see the rest of the series but has made no comment whatsoever about the Doctor being female or otherwise.
