I'd rather see more like it if it can help people feel better towards others or about themselves. Having parented black and white children we had to look long and hard for positive books and tv shows for the black children, most of it was slanted towards white. Now we can get books and tv for black white, disabled, gay or straight it's absolutely brilliant.

Re: Female Doctor Who

Well, I gave Dr Who another try, and it started off promisingly enough as an amusing twist on "Alien". Instead of a dark and ominous ship we had a lovely, well-lit and spotless ship. Instead of a vicious beastie eating the crew we got a cute monster eating the actual ship. Instead of a man with a 'chest-burster' killing him we had a man giving birth to a baby. They even blew the beastie out of the airlock as happened in "Alien"... but I just found it bland and slightly boring.

Sounds absolutely gripping!

Glad I didn't see it, and I have no intention of watching it in future!

I think this must be a BBC project to turn us all into little snowflakes!

Each to his own. I found it entertaining & far better than the endless cookery & cop programs.

Yes we enjoyed it too, tbh when we didn't enjoy Dr Who the matt smith era we just stopped watching, we didn't try and make it change to suit us. Now it has changed and we like it again I'm a bit disappointed in the reaction of some other people. Watch it if you enjoy it, watch something else if you don't is how we treat tv shows.

I hadn't watched it since they got rid of David Tennant, he was brilliant. Was told the new series was good so thought I'd give it a go & yes, I do like it.
I only watch things I like too.

Re: Female Doctor Who

If you think Dr Who is bad try watching Spanish TV then you will see why British TV any of the channels are far superior

I don't see the point in analysing programs to death. People do it with books & films too. It's entertainment.
I'm afraid I'll have to disagree, it's not entertainment, I see it as pedalling a certain agenda. History such as Rosa Parks' Civil Rights campaign and the forthcoming story about the Indian partition should be taught in schools properly, not be trying to educate the populace of such histories masquerading under the guise of a frivolous TV show.

We beg to disagree then & you don't have to watch Dr Who, there are many other channels.
