Doctor Who

[Whataday]

Peculiar lack of build up and fanfare. Just a social media post out of the blue on a Sunday morning. A bit different to the way they announced Whitaker.

There are rumours of something bigger happening tonight at the BAFTAs, which would explain the announcement coming when it did.

I really don't like where this era of RTD is going. I've got a bad feeling about it all.

Ncuti Gatwa is known, he's a global star. They are going for the global Hollywood type of market.

The show meant to be a quirky British show not a shine Hollywood show.

I'm no doubt Ncuti will be a good actor but the direction the show looks to be heading is concerning.

I'm not sure I understand your take. Ncuti may be known for previous work, but he's hardly a Hollywood A-lister. He's a brilliant actor with all the charm and quirks which suit the role of The Doctor.

Bad Education reaches wide but it's still a British show (which shoots in Wales too by the way), so where does this concern about Doctor Who becoming a 'shiny Hollywood show' come from?
