I never said its not important or not a great cause, and like I've said I'm not upset about having a female Doctor because why not, the thing that bothers me is the internet mobsters thinking that they've done something great just by spewing their BS on Twitter.

Got my drivers licence at the age of 30 on Saturday, it's never too late lads.

I watched Doctor Who through the Ecclestone and Tennant years and for maybe the first series with Matt Smith, who I think is a good actor but I just didn't like him as Doctor Who, though this might also be because the writing went downhill at the same time, or maybe the writing was always the same and I just saw through it more when I reached that age. Having Doctor Who as a woman is a strange one, there's nothing inherently wrong with having a female in such a big role and although I'm not massively clued up on the "lore" or "rules" about the Doctors regeneration, I don't believe there's anything wrong with him becoming a woman in that regard. The problem is that there are some characters, James Bond and Sherlock Holmes moreso than The Doctor, which are male. Some people (not many) are very vocal about how it's sexist to insist that these characters have to be male, and how it represents some great victory for equality to have a female Doctor, but where their logic falls over is when you start putting the boot on the other foot. If the next remake of Mary Poppins or Wizard of Oz had a male lead character as Mary or Dorothy, would people celebrate the victory for equality? No, they wouldn't, which goes to show it is not equality that's being celebrated, the celebration is for internet pitchfork mobs scoring a victory while convincing themselves that they're fighting for some great just cause. The female Doctor doesn't bother me. The actress I've only seen in Black Mirror but she was good, and good luck to her. What bothers me is the reaction of the melts on twitter who somehow manage to convince themselves that this is evidence of some brave new world where equality rules, rather than seeing the truth before their eyes that it's another case of media bending to pressure from a minority of vocal idiots in the knowledge that this meaningless decision will be celebrated as a ground breaking leap into the future.

Get fucked you barbeque loving mongs.

Cure's a good lad, and I appreciate his efforts. But please, any Mafia Wars from now on should be handled by Batard and Batard only.

You think that is bad but the BBC cast a black woman as this real life human bean: Now mate, I don't really care too much about Doctor Who because that is a fictional character and an alien to boot but THIS IS HISTORICAL REVISIONISM. I wouldn't cast the greatest actor alive if they didn't look like the historical figure they are portraying. Devil's Advocate here: Gender equality isn't making a male character female. It's writing a new character completely. Equal representation is nonsense, TV creators have no obligation to write 1 male part for every female part. Their duty is to write engaging stories and characters that sell and if that means writing more male parts, than that is where the money is. I think this is sexist, they've taken a well received and loved male character and expect 'equality' to simply ride on the coat-tails of an already loved character. It's far easier to do that and create an engaging female character, they've put zero stock in an actual heroine capturing the hearts of audiences. This is lazy, pandering nonsense, that is meant to appeal to no-one outside of the writer's ego. I don't think woman have to be placated or even settle for gender swapped roles. We know a woman can be an amazing TV lead, look at Xena and Buffy.

More likely Sky looking to intice people to bet. There are always smoke screens and Chelsea have to sign some striker if they let Costa go.

Wun Wun died in Winterfell? It was another giant mate that turned over.

Just took out box sets with sky and near the end of season 2..long way to go lol

You can be my chauffeur. I'll tip you in Croatian kuna. Well done. Don't kill anyone.

Mina is a very good defender. Word here is that he will move to Barcelona after the World Cup. He is a tall, solid young player who will benefit the minutes and experience he will get with Palmeiras untill his move to Europe. One area he could improve is his passing, since he will play in a club like Barcelona, that demands it, but I´m optimistic about Mina translating his game well in Europe. He´d be a good signing.

Would love to have this man back.

@Danny you need to go back

AC/DC, surf, desert, kangaroo, koala. My work here is done.
