I did read that it takes at least 20 attempts before you truly know. Perhaps you should advise her of this, and you do the decent thing and be on hand to keep count...

That pidgin English always makes me laugh... Its like listening to local youths, except every sentence ends with 'bled' or 'innin'....

Genuine question - Did you have a problem with BBC sitcoms like It Aint Half Hot Mum, Are You Being Served, Til Death Do Us Part etc where gay people were represented by over the top stereotypes? What about Carry On films? If not, why not?

Like the fact the TV licence people are on the estate knocking on doors. Evil or Very Mad

I shall tell them I haven't got a licence because I have it on good authority that Eve is going to be doing naughtys with another woman and that's naughty. Folded arms

We've already cover this. The BBC sells its world service abroad and makes a significant amount of money doing so.

I know you're playing the baiting game, but some of these shows have got a bit silly.

I haven't seen the programmes you've been talking about, but I did stop watching the last series of Dr Who, which got so moralistic, it was one step away from tuning in to a TV evangelist.

Given that that is a programme which is ostensibly aimed at a younger audience, I find that a little bit disturbing.

At least when other channels do it, it's much more overt, not sneaking a message in under the veil of providing a heritage, public funded broadcast, that claims it is all things to all people.

Ye gods! Yes, what a waste of talent... they got a woman in for a change, big whoop but they had to over do the whole thing.

When the Bradley Walsh character threatened to kill a mass murdering alien psychopath who embeds his victims' teeth in his own skin (and killed the character's wife) the Doctor got all bent out of shape. Whereas the Doctor himself/herself/etc. has/had/will/[time travel shit] committed genocide several times over the years. The crow calls the raven black, ppl in glass houses and so on... DO AS I SAY NOT DO AS I DO and what sort of ppl come out with that bullshit all the time?

I switched off at that point.

And people ask me why I chucked my TV set into a skip?
I could see all of the things mentioned and more. It was sickening to see broadcasters attempting to please all genders and sections of communities.

I blame Balamory for starting it all.

I did watch a few minutes of the new Dr Who and found it insipid, but I'm not sure that has to do with a liberal conspiracy rather than simply plain poor writing. Then again, I am from the Tom Baker generation, so anybody else can't possibly compare...

No, I remember that. If it were chapters of a book where the main character is male, I'd agree that any actor playing him should be male throughout. My Dr Who knowledge is sketchy at best, but correct me if the character isn't somebody who gets re-invented regularly...

Was the lead role 'deliberately' handed to a woman? If the character is a woman in this season, then I'd say yes. Clever casting you see - avoids confusion.

Trust me, there's loads in there. I could get past all that but it's still rubbish. I feel sorry for Jodie Whittaker 'cos she could do the "mad as box of frogs" aspect of Doctor Who perfectly fine but there wasn't the cold, dark, sociopathy in the character that Tom Baker managed perfectly. Peter Capaldi did a perfectly respectable job IMO.

What next, "Mr Browns Gender Fluid Offspring".... "Wondernonbinary"?


Funny that, when Thatcher became PM, that role had been male only since 1721 !!, and, yet, no doubt you filled many a sock over her !!

You can make your comment about a character being the first, woman, man, hermaphrodite for many things, completely pointless post by you, then again, find me the exception!!

You do realise the role of prime minister is real and Dr Who is a fictional character? It's just, this simple fact seems to have escaped you?

I take it you've spotted the Queen is a woman too?


My you're being observant today, indeed she is, otherwise, we'd have a king, but hey, as to the character being fictional or not, it's largely irrelevant, and, to be fair, the fact that it's a fictional character, simply serves to highlight how futile and meaningless your ire really is !!

What do you think? Do you think political correctness played any influence in Al Beeb making this controversial decision? How about their insistence to over represent woman presenters for male football? An accident too or deliberate virtue signalling?

It's not natural with the BBC, they seem incapable of including diversity, without punching you in the face with it.


I imagine the lead role in Dr Who was deliberately written for a woman. Given that women make up half the population and lots of girls watch Dr Who, it isn't really surprising that the BBC or whoever decided to do this for once. Who knows, next time the role could be taken by a black lesbian cross-dressing wheelchair-bound Nazi with a speech impediment. Who gives a shit!!!

Again, who really gives a shit if women present football? Whoever presents it gets criticised for one reason or another, except perhaps Roy Keane...

You really do need to stop being frightened of people who are different to you!

Indeed he is. What would be so wrong if a film appeared with a woman playing a Bond role? Obviously she wouldn't be called 'James Bond' because James is a male name. The story could have all the usual characters plus villains, and could even have some 'Bond girls' to tick the lesbian virtue signalling box.

Again, who really cares?

Thankyou for proving my point, always did wonder if indeed you did live in a world of fantasy and make believe ..

Just think, some characters as women, could be really scary, for example, how about Dr Miriam Banner with pms ! Oh, best steer clear there eh !!
