After 56 years on our screens, Doctor Who made history on the weekend by casting the first BAME actor in the lead role, with Fugitive of the Judoon introducing Jo Martin as the Doctor.
First BANE actor to be Doctor Who
A truly depressing story. Why are we still talking about skin colour in the 21st century? She's an actor. That's all that should have to be said - sadly British people and others internationally still have some evolving to do.
I think you'll find the first to have been Peter Davison
So everyone says 'stop bringing race in to it' and that exactly what you do.... Who cares what colour she is!? Dr who is a bloody alien.
And she was/is bloody brilliant. Feisty, colourful, mysterious. A powerful woman. Love her
Zzzz
/ BMAE ! What’s that when it’s at home ! Cannot be Dr Poo ! “Hey someone find her a Loo” !!!
Headline says it all - what a person looks like is now the most important factor.
How are these terrible PC terms like POCs, BAME, non-binary, etc. making their way in the MSM like they're widely used by the general population? They're not. Certainly it can't be because the editors are more activists than journalists, right?
Following in the footsteps of Inspector Fatima Dieng?
This is why it would be good to privatise this network, it would probably be good to see if the market genuinely wants this woke-scold strategy as the BBC isn't even trying to hide it anymore. 'Didn't take to the female Doc? Well have some this bigot!'.
If any character could lend itself to image change it's DrWho... Kinda begs the question why BBC kept the character a white, middle aged, English male who is followed around by a young impressionable female usually with big tits.
I bet she will be fantastic!
I'm sure the viewing figures will rocket upward.
Forget it she can be green for or I bloody care but this program is dead.
Looking forward to seeing a man play Miss Marple on the BBC soon
Can't wait to see the 15th Doctor, she will be taking on the Farragarians who is trying to remove space Britain from Space EU. We will also see Dalek dhaaak, a single mother Dalek on benefits who is here to break the stereotype that all Daleks are mindless killers. EDUCATEEEE!!
Thrills fans? 🤔
Having a previous, unknown set of regens makes no sense as you would think someone would have said something before - plus the TARDIS never got stuck as a Police Box until after Hartnells Doctor stole it, was working perfectly until the Chameleon Circuit broke. 1/2
As if that was the most important thing of the show. Hope the writing gets better. Still haven't seen the latest season, but the first one with Whittaker was ok (still worse than some of the earlier 2000s), but I heard the newest one was horrible.
New low.
I feel sorry for this actress. She got the job because of the colour of her skin and not the content of her character. MLK would be very sad to see black people getting forward in life as part of a box to tick.
As a Canadian could you please explain to me what a BAME actor is. I have not heard this term before. Thank you.
Doctor who?
That's awesome but I'm guessing there will be many many 'traditional' fans who will criticise this in an even less subtle way than megan-bashing. At least it gives the anti-wokers something to whine while they're 'in between' jobs.
The most upsetting thing about that piece is the use of 'on the weekend' 'ON'?
If this doesn't end racism nothing will.
This'll wind up the gammons!
Doesn't matter who plays the role of Dr Who these days - the scripts are the problem. Endlessly PC and dull
This not gonna go down well with the gammon army
And she's a woman 😩
the 'surprise introduction' 🤣🤣🤣🤣 No, not really.......
