Re: Doctor Who
Why not? A good actor with good scripts. Don't care what colour or gender they are.

We already have one. If it was inevitable it was down to statistics, not positive discrimination.

Yep, they have to tick all those boxes these days, probably gay as well. 
Still, its pretty hard for anyone to be worse than the current one, so hopefully he will improve things.
Personally I've never heard of him, so looked him up.
Quite a youngster (29) and basically starred in one TV show (on Netflix).
I have no idea how you pronounce his name.

You are behind the times. I am upgrading him to non-binary. That way they can have an episode dedicated to the use of pronouns and how we all feel when we arent addressed in the correct manner.

Matt Smith was three years younger when he started as The Doctor and Peter Davison was around the same age.

Re: Doctor Who
Does his colour or gender really matter?
RTD possibly chose him for his acting talent but all anyone seems to see is oh he isn't a white male blah blah blah.

that means he is nice and cheap and will be doing this as a high profile performance to boost his career (or sink it)

That show has been nominated for a number of Baftas over its 3 season, so an actor in a show that's highly acclaimed may not be that cheap, especially if a multi year contract is signed for a 60 year old much loved show.

Re: Doctor Who
We'll see. Does the BBC still have to publish a list of everyone who gets paid more than £250,000?

White males wasted their time if they applied, they had no chance, they dont tick the current PC/Woke boxes.
I'm sure its entirely coincidence that they choose a woman last time, and a gay black guy this time - not to mention they threw a black woman [only] into the timeless madness [that completely broke his/her/its entire backstory] as well as turning a companian lesbian. No agenda or PC/wokeness in any of it (or sleghammered into the stories either).

Re: Doctor Who
The next Doctor will probably be a black disabled female with testicles.
