Now, now. I've been shaving for +50 years and I've been watching Dr Who since the first episode with William Hartnell as the Dr.If you're old enough to shave,..you're too old to be interested in Dr Who.

I'd say usually you're absolutely bang-on. Gender, for the most part, doesn't play a part. It's going against the grain (see what I did there? ) casting a female actor in a role which has always cast a white, male actor. I'm looking forward to this changing of the guard. It's a big move forward for the show in my opinion. Next we know, we'll be having a black Bond and whatnot. It's really accepting diversity and that is a breath of fresh air, in my personal opinion.I don't see how gender comes into, a TV show sinks or swims on the quality of the script, acting, production and direction.
As she's a good actor and all the other factors have been of a very good standard. I look forward to the new series, as I always do, with great expectations.
I agree with most of what you say, but I liked Capaldi, but what do I know, my favourite of the new lot is Eccleston.I'd say usually you're absolutely bang-on.

Steve Moffat has done a respectable job taking over from Russell T Davies, the writing has been good. I wasn't a huge fan of Capaldi as the Dr, but then again I can't shake the image of him acting as Malcolm Tucker in The Thick Of It.
Onwards and upwards I say!

A black Dr., I'd have no problems with, but a black Bond, come on!
He'd spend half the film trying to get through US customs, and if he had to go to Russia, enough said
