You missed a really funny and moving episode LD. Next weeks sounds interesting about the creation of Pakistan, I'm looking forward to it our schools don't cover this so it'll be interesting for Grace.

Re: Female Doctor Who

I could do with a LOT less preachy episodes concealing a "hidden" (come off it, we're not daft!) moral lesson and, while we're at it, a great deal less of the Doctor's breathless wide-eyed ditziness. I was hoping that in the 21st Century a female Doctor would at the very least be portrayed as a take-charge, competent adult. What we get is The Waltons in Space trying to educate what the BBC evidently considers The Great Unwashed Uneducated Masses.

What was I saying about an excellent science fiction programme having morphed into a trendy PC human-interest programme?

Of course, we must remember it is the BBC.

Re: Female Doctor Who

It's very bizarre to have the male of any species ,even an alien one ,give birth.They are just not made for that sort of thing.
I never expected much from this new series and it's living up to it.

It's also a kids show and I'd rather sit and watch something with a moral and a lesson that also entertains than something that teaches nothing.

Exactly that Tachyon.

I see in the reviews that viewers are leaving in droves because it is all too pc and people are just sick of it.

Re: Female Doctor Who

It peaked with people wanting to see a female dr, it's dropping to levels still higher than when matt smith was dr from what I can see.

I keep being told by moffatts fans that this series is awful and too pc but they can't see how elitist the series he did became with many of us so confused we felt left out.

This is a childrens programme always has been, if it can teach them as well as entertain imo that's great. Only anyone against equality can really complain about it being more inclusive.

I watched the spider one, but the space ship hospital, last weeks, was much better. The creature would have been quite a cute one if it hadn't been so nasty.
It's Sci-Fi & meant to be entertainment.
