I was going to say it was in my case, but then I remembered that I didn’t have a clue who Tom Baker was until he got the role and he may well be my favourite Doctor.

Did you know who Matt Smith was?Originally Posted by the other bob wilson
Sadly, I’m old enough not to have heard of William Hartnell when he got the job.
Yes, but, from memory, it was only because I’d read something about him once being on Northampton’s books.Did you know who Matt Smith was?
Seriously. ??Chris Eccleston , David Tennant
, Peter Capaldi.
You never saw ‘Carry On Sergeant’?
IMO the original and best Dr.Who. A character who was slightly sinister and quite serious, unlike the rather jokey Dr.Who's who followed.
Patrick Troughton
Tom Baker
Richard Hurndall
Matt Smith
The actress that played the runaway doctor
Jodie Whittaker
The new one

Carry on Sergeant was released in 1958. I don’t think I’d been to a cinema then. I don’t know when it was first shown on TV. Seen it since of course.
Cinema??? Cinema???? It was ‘going to the pictures’ or ‘going to the flicks’.........cinema pah! You’ll be calling it the movies next
Quite right, going to the pictures- at the Rialto for the first timeCinema??? Cinema???? It was ‘going to the pictures’ or ‘going to the flicks’.........cinema pah! You’ll be calling it the movies next
The first 2 series of Sex Education are well worth a watch. He is great in it but it also features a great turn by Gillian Anderson as a sex therapist if that's more of your thing

I don't remember any of them being announced as Dr Who.
Controversial, but am I alone in thinking that Jodie and the new one got the part more because of their gender and colour rather than acting ability?
Having watched Doctor Who from the first episode (with some gaps when it got silly), I gave up after watching the second episode of Jodie's tenure.
And remembering that first episode - the Doctor is a GRANDFATHER ffs, so the appointment of JW really grated with me.
Rant over.
Do you not rate him as an actor?Controversial, but am I alone in thinking that Jodie and the new one got the part more because of their gender and colour rather than acting ability?

never heard of him, so never seen him act.
I hate how they feel compelled to say the new one is a 'person of colour'
I hate how the media love to make ordinary things about colour or race or religion. It's almost if the people who control the media have some agenda.
I had no problem with Jodie Whittaker but also gave up after a few episodes.Controversial, but am I alone in thinking that Jodie and the new one got the part more because of their gender and colour rather than acting ability?

If the middle-aged white guy who currently writes it could produce dialogue which was slightly better than the first draft of a year 5 school play then I might have given it some more chances.
Thank god Russell T Davies is coming back is all I can say.
So if you know nothing about him, why do you think he mainly got it because he's black?
Isn't it a bit weird to say it's not because of his acting ability, when you have never seen him act?
My comment wasn't directed at him ,personally, but it seems production companies are falling over themselves to "redress the imbalance" of the past. I'm all for diversity, but on merit. Positive discrimination is still discrimination.
Think of the disasters that wwere the latest offerings in the Men in Black or Ghostbusters franchises.
He won the prize for the best set of pie crimpers
Of course it was at him personally
" am I alone in thinking that Jodie and the new one got the part more because of their gender and colour rather than acting ability?"
Oh behave. He was excellent in Sex Education. Some of the other doctors hadn't had the same careers or awards before they took the role.
All Dr Who's to-date have been mainly white straight males with Jodie Whittaker the exception being a white straight female.
So you're telling us you have a problem with 7% representation for black people. Give your head a wobble - Dr Who is a fictitious shape shifting alien - and yet people claim it's 'woke' when a black guy plays him.
