    New Dr Who

    Just wonder what the reaction would be if say a Chinese or Japanese male actor was cast in the role. More outrage I guess. What about a dwarf? A gay? Or a Mexican? What about a gay Mexican dwarf? Bet you'd all watch then wouldn't you!!!

    New Dr Who

    I used to love the theme tune, but haven't at all liked the new realisations of it. :( Bring back the old. It's the traditionalist in me!!

    Yeah, am watching some of it. Just see them as athletes, albeit different from the normal athletes you're used to seeing at the main Olympics.

    Can energy companies just turn off your power without offering any kind of compensation?

    Already on it!! Having mushrooms and tofu with vanilla ice cream and garlic bread.

    New Dr Who

    But Kirk and Spock fancied each other apparently. Heard two Trekkie fans on the bus once going into it all very animatedly, analysing every nuance of the show. Only took about 45 seconds for me to assume they were both single. ;)

    A couple of sentences into his speech for sure.

    New Dr Who

    Ah, well I disagree on the reasons for that. Capaldi is a great actor, but I thought he brought dourness to the role and Bill was hardly a looker either. Usually Doctor Who (the new incarnation anyway) always had some eye candy. Be it Tennant or Smith (don't know why, but lots of women found him...

    New Dr Who

    I have two mates (yeah, I know, just the two) and one is a Star Trek nut and the other and out and our Whovian ,(even drives a car with the number plate Who 1. :) I know for a fact that the Who fan will be totally outraged at this news. He is very much a traditionalist and likes things to...

    New Dr Who

    Ha! Yes, indeed!! Well said. So far Doctor Who has gone from old grumpy OAP to Matt Smith's young clowning goofiness and back. If he can be old, young, Northern, Scottish, tall or small, why can't he be a woman?

    Can energy companies just turn off your power without offering any kind of compensation?

    Just had my post delivered 5 mins ago and there is a letter from Western Power Distribution saying that our power supply could be off between 10am and 4pm ... TODAY! Partly the Post Office's fault too I guess because the letter was sent on the 14th, so I should have had it Saturday, or Monday...

    New Dr Who

    Unkess she is great of course and she may just be great. I really don't see what the problem is. If it doesn't work they will replace her and go back to a man. It's not set in stone. I remember all the outrage from James Bind fans because they cast Daniel Craig in the role, a blond actor!! On...

    These are the very people I would expect to be outraged.

    New Dr Who

    Do I look like the sort of person who reads Doctor Who forums? No, don't answer that! To be quite honest I would expect nothing else. Have you tried looking at normal people's forums to see what they are saying? ;) A lot of these people are staunch traditionalists who want to stick to the...

    New Dr Who

    Yes, Verity Lambert was a producer back in the day, but but they were very few and far between and it was still a very much male dominated world. Very clearly apparent. Yep, it may well have been a stupid idea, I would have said the same back in the 1970's, but now the tapestry is different and...
