Doctor Who’s Cast & Crew Are Fkn Stoked About Finally Getting A Female Doc

Many, many folks have their knickers in a serious twist over the BBC‘s decision to (finally) cast a woman in the lead role of Doctor Who, breaking a 54-year tradition of having the sonic screwdriver be a blokes-only trinket. 

Of course, many more are absolutely thrilled with the decision, and they count among their numbers a Tardis-load of current and former cast, crew and writers for the show – including some very big names indeed.

Cannot deny that I am amazed by the ‘never watch it again’ reaction by some viewers ( I hesitate to call them ‘fans’). Very sad

Absolutely furious. Can’t believe they’ve cast a human to play the Doctor.

Sucked in, crybabies. Your new Doctor is full of girl germs, and everyone else is bloody stoked about it.
