I just had a look at the Guardians article and comments. Transfer Irish for hijab wearing Muslim and it’s already there. I hear the mails comment section is hilarious.
The BBC will take lots of flak, from people(ok men), that struggle with the concept of a fictional, shape shifting alien, taking whichever form it likes(a bit like Top Gear).
Script and acting ability will determine whether she succeeds in the role and i’ve read nothing but glowing reports about her acting.
In some respects it’s almost a shame that they gave the role of Missy to Michelle Gomez, as she could have made a great Doctor. Then again, she made a great Missy.
I have never had a problem with female doctors, I would much rather a pretty young female doctor was asking me to cough or bend over for an inspection than a 65 year old grizzled male doctor.
Trouble is I made the mistake of introducing Mrs D_P to the Doc way back when we first started dating. She then passed that on to her Polish pals.
Who all became fans.
Who will now have to wait 2 years for the very busy Polish bloke to read the script in Polish over the orginal dialogue as THEY won’t understand a word.
(We’re watching Broadchurch S2 at the moment and she is struggling with Tennant tbh)
Pleased, really pleased, I was hoping that the writers were going to start going away form the “touchy feely” story lines, hopefully they’ll do that now as they don’t want to be accused of stereotyping.
