The end of times! While I never agreed with the Doctor being made into a woman ( He is a male character) this is the last straw! If I were a black person this would insult me personally as only being used as the TOKEN black person, it's the same as a gay person what on Earth has their sexuallity got to do with getting a part? People should only be judged on their talent not what makes a person different. The great shame is that THEY have to make a point of highlighting that difference in the first place.

Well, not unless you watch Newsround meh

John Craven is the new Doctor Who.

And it only happens when viewing figures deteriorate to a point where something desperately radical has to be attempted, or there's an emergent market to be tapped into by superficial, self-serving inclusion.

As a baby boomer I remember John Craven as well, and the Reeves and Mortimer sketch where he sounded like a Dalek.

Happy Birthday !!!

I must remember not to turn on BBC1 around this time on a Sunday. 

Little bits of plastic we're ingesting didn't you know according to Jodie's latest speech. Silly humans. And some fella isn't getting on with his husband. So Graham's just had a chat with him. And Ryan hasn't done or said anything of any consequence.

Yup. More tedious preaching. 
 

More Doctor Doomwatch than Doctor Who.  A show with an identity crisis.

The stony, crystallising effect of the skin infection reminded me straight away of the aliens from the Outer Limits episode ‘Feasibility Study’.
