What? You've never seen a black doctor my doctor's been black since he was born. And he's awesome

Ugly

Guess it's worth retconing 56 years of canon, just to make a progressive history. Sorry, but if the leaks are true, I'm out.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

BBC: Viewers are complaining in larger numbers about the story not being engaging or entertaining anymore, how can we solve this? US Intern: We should include even more diversity into the series, that's what audiences want. BBC: Good thinking colonist

you could at least call out a 'Spoiler Alert' for those of us who have not watched the episode yet.

Always thought the tardis could do with a good cleaning. Not sure you could deliver a baby in there though.

WTF? Where is the midget trans asian? GD RACISTS!

Won’t make any difference - this series has been going on far too long

I'm just here to collect incel & racist tears for my collection. Good thing CNN posted this, because my supplies were starting to run a little low

Congrats to all for deciding the world of fantasy or mystery and scifi is unlimited. All you need is love (Beatles lyric intended) for knowledge & imagination to forge an unseen future. So much of StarTrek tech & imagery has come to fruition. It just takes vision🧠🙏 HWOW

Write and produce a seperate good show with a black female lead. Doctor Whoever makes us look woke. Next will be a disabled trans Muslim Doctor.

I actually thought Doctor Who was canceled
