Never heard of her or anything she's been in.
1. She better be able to act.
2. The writers better get her character right.

Check out my excellent homepage!

She was in Broadchurch, so has had plenty of time to study the acting of a Doctor!

... didn't watch Broadchurch, though. No idea who she is!

But I didn't know who Matt Smith was, either.
I'm ok with seeing how this goes.
I trust the writers to keep writing "The Doctor"..

Just watched the last 2 episodes, fair play to Peter capaldi, that's how to go out in style.

I know I'm all for equality and all that, but The Doctor being a bird just don't seem right.

Quit yer whinin'
The character will still be written as The Doctor.
The only change, as with all regerations, will simply be the person doing the acting.
You'll live!!

I really don't care. I just hope the writing does her proud.

Let's get some decent stories and dialogue - they are more important than who atually plays the character.

I'm more bothered by the fact that, yet again, they've picked someone who I can't associate with having done anything else. I'd never heard of Capaldi, or Smith. Not even sure I'd heard of Tennant prior to Dr Who.


Maybe they do that deliberately... or maybe I don't watch enough TV...

Jayenkai
Yeah, I think it's important to have someone who has the known ability, but also is relatively obscure enough that they aren't already typecast.
Having said that, I imagine that if you are already a typecast actor, that doing something like Who would help alleviate some of that.
... and make you typecasted as the Doctor, instead!

Not knowing who an actor is or what they've been in has never bothered me.

I've seen her in Attack The Block, but never watched Broadchurch (well, I saw the first episode of the first series...).

Capaldi I had seen in "In the Thick Of It" et al. Tennant I was aware of but never seen and Matt Smith I was completely oblivious to. In all cases the actors were great, but many times they were let down by the writing.

I haven't had any major issues with the writing.
Sure, sometimes stories can end up as "Love wins the day", but I have no issues with that. This is a Saturday evening family show, it's not a big serious late-night Sci-Fi, it's just a fun little adventure each week..

The only one time I went "Oh, FFS, Come on!!!" was the "Jesus Shoes" moment from that Tennant/Master two-part finale.
...The fuck, Russell?!

Tennant's first appearance put me off him with the pyjama swordfighting bit. Was like the Power Rangers had been taken unawares.

After David Tennant transformed into Matt Smith some of his words were "Long hair?, oh no I'm a girl!". This time it could be "Long hair, smaller nose, bigger chest; OH MY GOD!, I've got a... *CENSORED!, probably something that rhymes with hinge".* Well at least The Doctor has a new use for that sonic screwdriver.

That's exactly the mindset that got about 20-odd of my Twitter followers blocked, yesterday.
