Daily Mail readers are outraged – again.
Usually the target of their wrath are “looney lefties”, immigrants and people who voted Remain in the EU referendum.
This time, however, they have a new target – the BBC.
Are they angry because of media bias against their beloved Conservative Party? No. They are angry over the choice of an actor in a well-loved BBC drama.
The have chosen a woman to play the part of Dr Who.
Oh my GOD!! How could they?
Here are some of the comments that have surfaced from the politically incorrect, right-wing morons who read the Daily Mail –and the equally obnoxious newspaper, The Sun:
“Nobody wants a TARDIS full of bras!”
“If they made a separate series about a female time lord no one would watch it. Just as no one would watch a women-only tennis tournament. Women have to ride on men's coat-tails and if necessary hijack the concept in order to get noticed. This just one of the reasons why there will never be equality. Women generally don't have the initiative nor the willingness to take risks.”
“The BBC are trying to brainwash your children.”
“She'll get a second series where she'll get written out of story to make room for male Doctor. By this time the real Who fans would've stopped watching and can't be bothered due the writers bowing to feminism and the PC brigade. Not [only] have BBC shot themselves in the foot, they'll certainly lose money on the merchandising. What wants to dress up as a woman? What a waste of a regeneration!!”
“The reason the Doctor can't be female is simple, she'd only be of any use protecting mankind from the evils of the universe for three weeks out of four.”
“Knock, Knock....whose there? Dr......Dr Who? Yes,...I've lost mi key in mi handbag....let us in chuck!.”
“Time travel is for men – and men only”
“I'll stop watching now but a tip for the BBC. You're not being PC enough yet. She not an ethnic minority, lesbian, asylum seeker and didn't vote Remain.”
“Political correctness should not exist in space”
“They should rename the show “Nurse Who””
From a personal perspective, I was a little surprised but I welcome the decision. Jodie Whittaker, the new Doctor, is a great actress. Mrs PM loved her in a programme called Broadchurch.
As well as having moronic misogynistic readers, some of the right wing tabloids have decided to introduce Jodie Whittaker to those who don’t know of her by showing naked stills of her from other TV programmes.
"Here’s Jodie Whittaker – a decent actress. We don’t want to talk to her about her new role – we will just show dirty pictures of her having sex in another steamy TV programme."
All of this shows how crap the United Kingdom is becoming. This misogynistic, politically incorrect undercurrent has been bubbling under for quite a few years now but rags like the Daily Mail, Daily Express and The Sun have been championing these narrow minded views, peddling hatred and obnoxious views. Their voices are getting louder now and I am disturbed by this.
People who read the Daily Mail and Daily Express take every word as gospel – even the outrageous lies that they publish. No wonder we are drifting slowly into oblivion.
Mrs PM’s mother reads the Daily Express religiously and when I visit, I sit there on her sofa ranting like a madman as I read it. I do so out of curiosity and to gain an insight into how these people think but within minutes I am almost overcome by a psychotic urge to set fire to the bloody thing in rage.
One day I may actually ask Mrs PM to video me while I am reading it. You will laugh your heads off – I promise – and I won’t be acting for the camera.
Anyway – to conclude – Dr Who is a shape-shifting alien being, owned by the BBC and, most importantly, is a work of fiction.
The BBC can do what they hell they like with the character.
I welcome Jodie Whittaker and I hope she is an amazing Dr Who.
And here’s a message for outraged Daily Mail readers and the authors of the comments above.
“Get a fucking life!”

I've got my own quarrels with the BBC - the lastest Dr. Who not being one of them. The last episode of Kat&Alfie: Redwater...Seriously? What the heck? No series 2? They're killing me here. (I stopped watching Dr. Who decades ago, and welcome to the wing-nut world - y'all got a far piece to go before you match the USA in assholery)
Sigh. Get a life indeed.
I have quite decided favourites from the male Doctors. A female could join the favourite list, or might not. Time will tell.
And some of those comments are truly offensive.
Makes no difference to me who plays The Doctor, I stopped watching two Doctors ago, or was it three? I couldn't stand that Matt Smith Doctor and the Amy girl, didn't like Peter Capaldi much either. Plus it's usually on in a time slot where I'm watching something else.
Hi Grace,
The US is notorious for dumping series just as they are getting good.
:o)

Hi EC,
This is just the tip of the iceberg as far as the papers I have mentioned are concerned. And the articles themselves are sometimes equally as offensive.

Hi River,
You should give it a chance. Some of the stories have been excellent - even with Matt Smith (who I like incidentally).
:o)

It's the BBC who dumped the show...We have BritBox - If we were into famous British soaps we could be watching Emmerdale, East Enders etc just a day later than the Brits - Just sayin'
Hi Grace,
Yes - the BBC also dump shows. Sometimes they get resurrected though - just like Dr Who.
:o)
Cheers
