There is nothing wrong with mispronouncing someone’s name, especially when it is derived from a language foreign to your own, different thing entirely if you purposefully mispronounce the name in a derogatory way
No. It shows a lack of cultural sensitivity and stems from the same mindset that leads to colonialism, slavery and intersectional violence. We need to implement a zero-tolerance policy for this kind of bigotry. If you disagree you're part of the problem.
@@artistsanomalous7369 lmfao, go f*ck your self inbred. you dont get to tell others how to act. try that shit in person and you wont be doing it ever again. And colnialism was literally the best thing to ever happen to the species you drooling chimp.
In the RTD1 era (pretty much 4 seasons): At least 4 interracial couples (Rose and Micky, couple in series 1 finale, Donna and BF1, Donna and husband) Female companions saving the Doctor Doctor being emotional at points Brown skinned companion Immortal bisexual dude Brown skinned people in positions of power (president of the UK in Pete's World, etc.) The show has never changed
Only going to make one correction-pretty sure it’s “Immortal *Omnisexual* dude”-I’m pretty sure Jack is up for *anything* sentient in a way that would make even Capt. Kirk blush.
Yeah its almost as if the sex and sexuality of the characters isnt the thing people have an issue with. It's funny how you can prove the claim "they just racist" wrong yourself without realizing it.
It seems like Scots give the Doctor an edge the others can't replicate. 7th and 12th have these edges that you don't know what to expect from them. I think Gotwa is going to be a really good Doctor.
Well honorary Scot, but still Ncuti has an utterly amazing backstory that I can't help admire. He survived the Rwandan genocide, got taken in by Scotland and the rest is history. I think he's going to be in the word of the 9th doctor.... fantastic!
@@themadoneplays7842 I think he's going to be amazing. He's definitely delightful to watch. I knew Tennant is Scottish but he's pretty tame compared McCoy and Capaldi. Those two had these darkish undercurrents to their performances.
I do not understand how a racist can watch Doctor Who. Lead character is an alien who advocates love and respect of life in all its forms. Surely these people should hate Doctor Who in theory???
That must be why I see the same people complaining about Doctor Who and Star Trek (especially newer Trek), saying they are "woke."Both shows discuss treating others fairly, without racism, sexism, and class differences. Why would someone who is racist, sexist or hateful in general watch either show? Is it just to complain?
Because Mr Tardis seems to be naming each doctor with Chad in their name, I will list each doctor with Chad in them: -Jo chadtin -William chadnell -Patrick chadton -Jon chadwee -Tom Chader -Peter chadison -Chad baker -Sylverster McChad -Chad McGann -John Chad -Christopher chadlston -David chadant -Chad smith -Peter chadaldi -Jodie chadaker -chadvid tennant -Ncuti chadwa
A bit odd for the ‘Britain First’ crowd to be going nuts over a foreign-born woke takeover of a show created by a Canadian whose first director was a gay man born in India & whose first show-runner was female. It makes one wonder what show they have been watching all this time... Edit: and then you made the exact same point.
You have (deliberately?) missed the point. Wokery had not been invented in those days. The first director wasn't there because he "was a gay man born in India", the first show runner wasn't there because she was a woman, it was just coincidence. Incidentally, Canadians are not a favoured group under the rules of woke. Have you noticed Canadians stuffed into advertisements or TV shows by the wokists? Neither have I.
For anyone who has seen Fawlty Towers, is it just me or does Gary from Nerdrotic remind you of that smug child that was featured in an episode who hated the chips he got because they were "the wrong shape"? lol
It's great to see Ncuti get such a wonderful welcome from the Doctor's. He gets one from me too, looking forward to seeing RTDs next regeneration of Who.
I'm for sure excited. He has *that* energy - the "I want to see what he's doing" - same way Pertwee, Tom Baker had. Couple that with good stories? Epic.
Same here. I saw him and he looked like a cool looking guy. Ok, fine. But then I saw his interview, a photo smirking, and a clip from his show and I was like "Ok, this dude has that special something that takes to be The Doctor." You not only have to be a good act but you got to feel you're coming from another planet.
Couldn't care less about Ncuti's skin colour... he got the gig cos he totally smashed it at the final audition, same as Matt Smith, haters gotta hate, that's the problem with geek fandom in the Internet age...
@@shadowofbosstown How would we know that? RTD said it. Plain and simple. If you think he's lying, the burden of proof lies on you. But you don't have proof, you just have baseless doubt
@@shadowofbosstown RTD literally said they had a different Doctor lined up, Ncuti came in as the last audition, and in RTD's words completely "stole" it.
Correction: Jo Martin was the first black Doctor Who. I'll watched since I was a kid. (This was one of my grandmother's favorite shows.) Everytime they change the actor I think I'm gonna hate it, but then I love them. I just absolutely love the show.
Im loving how Mecha is discussing how unfair the media was to Jodie when one of her vids I watched opened with her joyfully sing songing "Doctor Who is losing viewers"
Before or after the fanboy legions were screaming for her head for daring to be a woman I wonder? Call me psychic, but I'm gonna guess AFTER! In which case.. Good for her. Standing up to the spineless anoraks. I've watched all the episode Jodie has been in, and honestly.. I enjoyed them. Skip the victim routine.. Nobody cares. 99% of the people who watch the show care nothing about the sacred "cannon". Its a children's scifi/fantasy series. Deal with it.
@@rodneymarsden3003 yeah I agree, I just sat down for her run, and now I have the name chibnall burned into my mind. Her individually is always the best part but then the episode is so mundane. I’m watching season 13 and now I feel like I’m finally getting more of her doctor. But yeah scuffed
32:50 Of course RTD never did anything political in Doctor Who. Midnight obviously isn't about people fearing the "not like me group". He also never brought in the Ood of course, they weren't an allegory for slavery at all. Oh! New Earth and Gridlock weren't hidden with a message about pollution either. I mean...
To paraphrase something I said back when The Timeless Child twist happened: My problem story wise with saying there were many Doctors before Hartnell is that it creates more story plot holes then it resolves, but it also negates the significance of Whittaker being the 1st female Doctor since Jo Martin's Fugitive Doctor came before Whittaker, and now the same is true about how Gatwa is technically within the show not gonna be the 1st Person Of Color to be The Doctor.
That's a fair point. I think you've gotta separate the in-canon universe Doctors with who we, as viewers, consider to be "The Doctor". To us, there are still 13, soon to be 14 Doctors. Jodie is still the first female Doctor and Ncuti will be the first black Doctor. Even though, to characters existing in the show, none of that is true. It's still important for the audience to recognise that and going back and adding incarnations won't change any of that.
Did you forget in AUC, Barbara calls the Doctor “Doctor Foreman” and he replies “Doctor Who?” so the character only took the name on from then on. The Doctor wasn’t given that name by their parents, but by a random person who they kidnapped.
I'm pretty sure that going forward writers will just ignore this, like the "The Doctor is half human". They're silly ideas, but we can always just pretend they never happened. This show has never had solid canon.
@@PlatinumAltaria not even regeneration was always the same. the original implication was that the TARDIS renewed the Doctor's body. It wasn't until The War Games that we learned about the Time Lords and how regeneration worked.
I’ve pointed this out to people but apparently they know for certain it will be shit, they can’t explain how they know, they just know. Hmmm…It’s almost like they’ve decided to hate before they’ve even seen it. 🤔 But no they can’t be it!

To be honest i was a little worried at first but then i saw him in trailers and set photos and now I'm not because he looks to be taking his role seriously
About that bowelstrek tweet, I find it hilarious that he's already changing his stance. For the past five years he's been whinging about how "Chibnall RUINED the show" but now it's "Chibnall TRIED to ruin the show but actually it's Davies who's RUINED the show". Like, casting a woman as the Doctor was the worst thing to happen to the show .... then the Timeless Child was the worst thing to happen to it.... but no, actually a black Doctor is REALLY the worst thing to happen to it. I knew that as soon as a new showrunner came along that the Nazi brigade would change their story to fit whoever's running the show now, I just didn't expect it to happen so soon.
I remember when people said that Moffat killed the show. Now they're praising the good old days when the Doctor was the Hybrid and his companion was a gay black woman. I can't wait for that asshole to crash and burn once somebody digs up all his receipts, and he'll lose whatever tiny sliver of credibility he had left.
To a certain two people who were complaining about the Doctor Who episodes bringing educational (Rosa Parks, or that one concerning Yaz’s grandparents, which was definitely political and educational), here’s a news flash from a Gay, black American…. The show’s creator, Sydney Newman, originally crafted the show to be partly educational, hence, the fourth story of the series centering entirely on Marco Polo, as well as shows taking place during the French Revolution, The Aztec era, etc. In fact, the character, James ROBERT “Jamie“ McCrimmon (Fraser Hines) was introduced in the last purely historical Doctor Who story, which was Patrick Troughton‘s second, “The Highlanders.” Fast forward to Peter Capaldi‘s final story, twice upon a time, which partially took place during the Christmas Armistice between English and German soldiers during World War I, something which I didn’t know about until that particular story. Just a little background for those not familiar with the original series format. And, by the way, I liked Jodie Whittaker‘s doctor. It was just the writing by those not familiar with science fiction, as well as that time was child nonsense that brought it down.
If the actors can act and have talent, what's the problem? I only have a problem with the cast members if they don't give a good performance, or at least they're clearly not trying to give a good performance/phoning it in.
Quite right but we all know the tick boxes for diversity generally rule out any real meritocracy. I watched a West End showed marred by the man role played by the least capable actor who ticked the diversity box.....meritocracy is dead I am afraid.
@@sirmustardofhousemayonnais9907 He's clearly a good actor besides even if it is there is nothing wrong with some over correction for decades people would complain if they even saw a black person on tv but now they're free to cast any race gender or sexuality and maybe the black guy was the best audition or do you find it imposible that a black actor can be better than a white one?
3:57 lots of people like to know who would love to know who on the shortlist for any doctors. If you read Philip seagulls book regeneration about the TV movie, there's a list of actors who was considered and audition for the part of the 8 doctor. Fun fact John Hurt and Peter Capaldi on that list.
The Master and the Doctor should be written as mirror images of each other. Makes them both more dynamic and who is the cruel? The Master or the Doctor? Who is more evil!
My reaction was "Omg Ncuti Gatwa?? But he's so young 🙀 ah no he's already 30!" Knowing him from Sex Education I thought he was younger, but he is so great as Eric and he will be perfect as the Doctor 😍 so thrilled for the return of RTD as well!
It's like star wars all over again They thought Dave Filoni and that were gonna swoop in with the Mandalorian and make the sequels not canon then kick Kathleen Kennedy out but when book of Boba fett came out they're back to saying that star wars is ruined
In all the companion relationships RTD have written, ALL have at least one black person in it. Mickey, Martha, That guy that Donna was gonna marry, and Shaun. They're gaslighting themselves into thinking Dr Who wasn't "woke". It was and that's not a reason why it's good nor why it's bad now. It's down to characters and stories. These people are just moronic.
Not to be offensive to british people but Well I kind of do mean to be offensive but not to the general people But didn't you guys Mostly spind history stealing?
At no point did Nerdrotic say "black people should not be on TV" that's just a narrative that this creepy weirdo wants to create. Sure, I'm laughing at all the ignorant racists along with everyone else but I'm also laughing at reactionary clowns like this using misinformation to further his leftist agenda. The accusations he is making are just simply not true. And if you confront him on the matter he does nothing but shift goal posts. MrTardis is a weird politically motivated creep.
Hmm. Imagine NOT having a chance at the role because of the amount or melanin in your skin, or your gender? Dr Who is perhaps the only character that could be played by absolutely any actor. Ncuti may never get to play Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, or Hamlet, or Miss Marple, but he CAN play the Doctor.
@@WritingGeekNL How do you know that? He can speak English can't he? If they can completely rewrite history with a black woman playing Anne Boleyn then any role is possible
Honestly being British is my only requirement to portray the Doctor and I’m kind of half kidding with even that, just given to the point that A) What even is British? B) We’re very much running out of actors at this point. Whatever, this doesn’t even apply here because Gatwa lives in the UK, has UK citizenship, and is Rwandan-Scottish, so in my book, he is British. So therefore, we have all of my criterias for casting 1) Exists 2) Is Actor (and probably good, I’ve heard good things about Sex Education) 3) Is British
29:03 I have no idea what Colonel Mustard here is prattling about. Just because HE didn't see them doesn't mean they don't visit. Does he have any empirical data to back up his point? Citations? Data from tourism/heritage groups connected to Stonehenge? And even if they do: okay, what's the issue? Most of the stuff in our Museums doesn't belong to native Brits (Ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, Assyria, Maya etc), but we can look at it, so why not the other way around?
@@christopherwall2121 Exactly what I was gonna say, John Wiles and Chris Chibnalls are the only one in my memory to have written more right wing doctor who
Anyone who has a love for the Doctor and truly understands the Doctor, knows that the Doctor can be any color or gender or whatever the Doctor wants to be and as fans we will watch the show as long as the storyline is good.
So how come from 1966-2017 the doctor was a white male actor? It’s only because of social justice warriors and the bbc being politically inept that he became a female. And you know what happened… the show lost ratings and not because the doctor was a girl but because people could see how political the show was becoming. And I have nothing against ncuti I actually think he could be a good doctor. But did you really think that the doctor was going to be a white male. I didn’t because white males playing lead roles in film and tv is bad.
@@oscarknowles7526 … because entertainment isn’t allowed to discuss, mention, cover, or be based on important and/or meaningful topics? What is left then? Most people only complain about things being “too political” when it’s something that they don’t agree with.
@@claireelyse5992 Your right. I don’t agree with it and neither should you. If you believe that the whole purpose of “entertainment” is to “entertain” us. Why does the bbc and other channels go out of their way to shove as much political and historical factors down our throats. I want to watch doctor who to enjoy it. Not be get given a history lesson in Rosa parks for example. All I’m saying is that doctor who has been ruined by the bbc and political factors surrounding it and you can choose to ignore it that’s completely fine but I’m entitled to my opinion so deal with it
I'm excited for Ncuti tbh. The Doctor was a great role model for me as a white kid so other kids of different races will be able to see themselves in this great role model. At the end of the day, this shits for kids and all kids should feel like they have a role model
I couldn’t give a damn what colour of gender someone is as long as they give a good performance THAT IS THIER OWN. If he does this I’ll be all for it and cannot wait to see him and RTD revive the show.
@@sirmustardofhousemayonnais9907 nice to be optimistic for a change, plus RTD has already shown prowess and has the trust of fans and enjoyers alike. So I’m confident that the show will be good. Jodies era could have been good had Chris Chibnnal been able to write for the show but has clearly proven he can’t.
@@jamiebowler4693 they have done nothing to earn your optimism or trust. The show and it's history are already ruined. Hiring this guy based on the color of his skin and hair color does not make any better. You should have more respect for yourself
Here's a good response to that, even if it might hurt you saying it but it's a good one to blow their brains. Say the same thing about Capaldi and them wanting to cast an older doctor and he stole it from a younger actor.
It's actually the other way round RTD has stated that they had there doctor who basically decided on and the Ncuti came in as the last audition and was better than everyone else
I love how these people talk about Ncuti's casting as if they were in the auditions as a judge. I swear Doctor Who must be real because these people time travelled from the 1800s
Sadly it’s not just Dr who it’s everywhere now, people complaining everything is “too woke” aka not everyone is straight white and male. The trek fandom is really bad with it now. These people honestly think they are being marginalised but it’s insane. I could not care less about the colour of an actor’s skin just about how well they can act. You can imagine what some “fans” are says because they cast a trans actor!
Trust me, people were just as mad about Jack Harkness back in the day. Anti-woke people have been doing the same song and dance for years. Just wait, in a couple years these same people will be reminiscing about the good old days with Chibnall.
His race shouldn’t matter. As long as the person playing the Doctor is a good actor, I don’t care who they are: black, white, male, female, young, old I do not care about any of that. As long as they are a good actor then I look forward to seeing them play the Doctor, no matter who they are
I am looking forward to seeing what he does I am not racist but I do find it interesting that in this racism debate thing is white people vs white people white people saying that other white people are racist and when you bring a black man into this and he says something different to what you think black people would say he doesn't represent the majority that is also white supremacy isn't it see the people on the left think all this is black and white it isn't if you dig down you find is actually really really complicated and arguments can be made in all directions about anything that are also liars on both sides who make up rubbish to serve a point but there are also people who use facts to serve a point
@@tokublwhovian I am not racist because It wasn't a racist arguement I'm making I'm just saying that white people seem to be the arbiters of what is and what isn't racist when it comes to black people and if they hear a black voice that doesn't agree with them they don't represent the crowd maybe that is true probably is if they really are a low percent but it doesn't mean they don't have a right to a voice and in politics sometimes we do do things to appease minority if we think something is wrong Eva racist black people are minority most black people call each other the n-word so maybe black people can be racist to each other and it's not the white people to interfere but then you can make an arguement that Mr charges refused calling out another white person because white people should stay out of black people's business but then that means Mr tardis can't criticise anyone black get if that black person is racist against people in Doctor Who I'm not really coming down on his side I'm more or less pointing out contradictions and it's those constitutions that prove another arguement is possible in a different direction that's all
Mate Nerdrotic has never said anyhring about the colour of Ncutis skin, at least that I've heard, he's just generally anti-bbc and doesn't think the show will recover
Doctor Who is for "EVERYONE" some people just don't have a very Doctory attitude but call themselves fans, The Doctor would be livid with them if He She was a real person
@@samuelbarber6177 I mean it's not for everyone though. If you hold views which are antithetical to the core themes and message of the show, and the main character would absolutely hate you, then no, the show wasn't written for you. You just appropriated it, and then decided it changed.
from what i understand rtd 2 will be hyper political particularly where gays are concerned, for that reason we criticize. all we want from dr who is to be entertained not being preached at, with rtd 2 we are going to get preached at on all the ills of society in the entire run of gatwa and beyond.
@@joeespin4377 Doctor Who has always been political. What do you mean preachy can you give examples? Because if it is just LGBT people existing as characters thats not preaching that's on you mate. Most things orientated around sci-fi and/or fantasy tend to be political.

Ncuti sure looks like he's going to be a brilliant Doctor !!! Do we know which candidates were also up for the role, there is a good chance that the runner up could be in the Tardis in 3 or 4 years
13:50 is such a strange point. Literally every positive statement about Ncuti Gatwa I've seen has been about his acting talent or his performance in the audition. So, she's saying "why can't it be about if he is a good actor?", when literally everyone is talking about how good an actor he is.
The main character of Doctor Who is literally not human. They're literally the ultimate immigrant and they're the hero of the story. How you can be xenophobic/racist is beyond me...
My favourite part is that for the past 5 years these people have all been saying "It's not because she's a woman. They could cast a black person or a gay person for all I care." Now it's happened, and they are losing it
saying that "all conservatives" feel that way is quite dangerous, not only is it most likely Incorrect, but it also means that those who dont feel that way are getting lumped in with the ones who do, and may feel they're being attacked for something they've nothing to do with. I mean, in general it's a bad thing to say all, none, always, never and those kind of words when talking about a large group of people
maybe not all conservatives take issue with a black doctor but all conservatives, to some degree, enable racism within the country by voting for a party who are actively passing/trying to pass legislation that hurts that community and others.
@@onekie5787 that's my point. someone may hold conservative views, which arguably aren't necessarily racist but so long as they vote for the conservative party, they're still enabling racism.
Glad you’re making these videos keep it up! Hope Ncuti doesn’t become overwhelmed by the racism or homophobia, stay strong and have an amazing run as the Doctor 💙
If I remember correctly when Dr Who returned his human companion asked why he had a Northern accent, he replied that many planets have a North. It seems many planets have equator and tropics too.
@@SavageBroadcast DW: Has a lot of episodes focused on accepting different people. And learning to leave together with them. DW CZcamsrs: EWW BLACK PEOPLE SHOULDN'T PLAY THE DOCTOR! Like seriously that's the whole point of William Hartnel's "The Daleks" Serial, that's why the Daleks are the bad guys, because they hate everyone simply for being different, Chesterton even describes it as a "Dislike for the Unlike". And then there's "The Ark" also from the Hartnel era. In which the Monoids who were treated as slaves by the human refugees seeking a new planet eventually turn against those humans and enslave them in the second half of the serial, with said serial literally stating that there will be no future for mankind if they can't make peace with the Monoids. (And then again even classic Who actors accepts Ncuti as the Doctor, so there's no excuse.)
The people mocking Ncuti for his name are most likely the same people who make up ridiculous spellings of common names to make them ‘unique’, but just make it impossible for anyone to read them. Or the same people who praise Elon Musk for naming his son X Æ A-Xii!
Ridiculous spellings of common names are one of my pet hates! I mean, what's so clever about taking a proper word like Jordan and spelling it Jordon or Jordyn?
Why can’t people just wait to see how he takes to the role and then decide on how he handles the character. The doctor is an alien so it does not matter what gender or race (according to earth races) he is. Seems to me these people who get angry about an actor being a certain race or gender have way too much time on their hands.
Life long fans are very invested in these storys. Woe betide you cross a fandom. We have seen it so many times. If it wasn't paid for by a mandatory tax, they might have to consider the ramifications of their choices
I'm really excited about the new Doctor. What about those words "New Doctor" can't incite excitement, they could have been chosen by lot and I'd still be this hyped. The only test is how they play the role, and even if bady gender, race and sexuality are not factors of argument. Well done Ncuti, I'm looking forward to seeing him for the first time in the Blue Box. Only then will I check out his past work.
'someone who is so aggressively stupid i think talking about them is a form of ableism'... bro???? Are you literally calling people disabled??!?!? What the actual hell
CZcamsrs TurfNation and Karina McDaniels did vids on MechaRandom42. She's completely out of her mind and has a very unhealthy obsession with Brie Larson.
I do want to thank you for existing. I used to be a fan of the people who would make these videos, because I literally had no social experience or any idea what was going on in the outside world, because I was only 20 years old, relatively sheltered, and trying to construct an adult life during the pandemic. It's funny to think back on now.
There is literally zero reason why the Doctor would have to be white. None at all. Taking issue with the Doctor not being white makes *far less* sense than taking issue with the Doctor not being a man, and the hatedom that formed around the idea of the Doctor not being a man was already utterly absurd. I am just left with the same thought I had when Capaldi or Whitaker were announced: "I don't know this actor but they've yet to cast a bad actor to play the Doctor so I'm sure they'll do fine." (I seem to recall Capaldi was actually a popular choice before he was announced, but *I* had not seen any of the stuff he was in.)
This is ridiculous. First it was the drama with jodie when she was announced to be the first female doctor, Now we got drama with Ncuti. Can't we all just agree that his gonna be a good doctor after jodie leaves the show.
Probably I mean, we've never had a bad doctor and probably never will only bad Writing and we got a mostly decent if of it preachy writer Never gonna let him live down. The man who never wouldn't nonsense dear rtd
Hey there. I’m that commenter about Jodie not watching the show. I didn’t mean it as a double standard and it was honestly pure gatekeeping and frustration. I wanted another woman with a good writer as the Doctor because I wanted them to prove that we can have a really good female Doctor. Watching your video and finally relaxing from the five years of frustration have changed my mind. Just give us a good actor and a good writer who respects respects the lore. I didn’t mean any sexism or pure hatred towards Jodie. It was a complete misunderstanding and I do wish Jodie the best and for some banger Big Finish dramas. I also look forward to Ncuti Gatwa and I believe he is in good hands as RTD is an incredible writer and I love his work in DW. Fuck the racists and sexists and conspiracy theorists. Thank you for bringing up these things in the fandom that I’ve never heard of before. This needed to be brought up. Edit: Sorry for the many edits. I was flustered and my mind was going a million miles a minute.
Please don't promote MechaRandom I don't want the slightest chance that CZcams might push her Hate Peddling videos at me yet again. One of my proudest moments was when mid argument she decided to block me on Twitter then continue the argument and claim I was not responding.
You notice how much Doctor Who casting has become like the 2nd Doctor's Regeneration choices? To old, to fat, to thin, to young. Now add to female and to black.
Lol ! 😂 Remember Doctor Who is first & foremost a Modern day family / kids show not a Nostalgia O.A.P fest ! My reaction was that Ncuti looked so young , all the Doctors were old or old looking in a young body (100% Matt Smith & somewhat David Tennant) ! What a difference a pencil moustache made Ncuti look in one of his photos I saw online - Wow ! I wonder if that was just him or one of his roles ? Haven't seen him act in anything but Sex Ed - if anybody thinks he will clone that role into his new Doctor Who role they will surely be mistaken . All them detractors have just grown old ... Oh well I'm old as well & you can't stop TIME ... Or being Scottish or coming from Rwanda !
I don't see why not being able to pronounce his name should disqualify him. I had trouble as well, but you know what I did, I looked it up and learnt, because that is the respectful thing to do. I have full confidence Ncuti will make a great Doctor.
You know the whole box ticking argument conservatives like to peddle, everything in the entertainment industry (or more to the point anything) ticks boxes in order to appeal to a mass audience, it's been going on for decades, it's not ground breaking stuff. The fact minorities are finally getting a box which can be ticked is incredible progress and it shows how the world is changing for the better. I'm of the view point that, unless it's propaganda, what the entertainment industry does is a reflection of the human condition (the positive and negative side), this is why the claim "media causes violence" doesn't hold up at all. Also box ticking of the past used to promote conservative values and media that promoted liberal values were seen as revolutionary, now mainstream liberal values are common place, but of course conservatives don't want to admit the shit they like used to tick boxes and think box ticking is a new phenomena. On Ncuti Gatwa being cast, people have already made there mind up on him (he's only had a few seconds as the Doctor, how do you know he's crap?). If it turns out he can't act his way out of a paper bag (given he's already an established actor and had a great audition that's highly doubtful) or the scripts suck then fair enough but his first season hasn't even dropped yet, who knows, he might be the best Doctor since Troughton.
The show was obviously written from its inception with a white British male in mind as its lead, even as was Sherlock Holmes, by way of example. I can understand why fans of the classic show and the successful reboot (when it was successful…I.e., up to Capladi), would be disappointed with a departure from the standard which has always worked. But I do think the idea that the CZcamsrs that are being criticised are racist and asserting ‘black people shouldn’t be on TV’ are really rather reactionary and frankly utterly pathetic when all they are essentially objecting to is cultural misappropriation.
I appreciate the time you take to call out these people. We can’t just leave them in their bubble spreading hate. They’re too used to being unchallenged. Keep it up.
Remember that episode of 'South Park', where Jimbo was defending a rather politically incorrect piece of South Park's history? Then, when the KKK members started supporting his cause, he told them "Hey now, we don't want your support. We're not racist, this is about history." Now, if Nerdrotic and all these other rotten guttersnipes had the KKK supporting their videos, I'll bet they'd see it and be like "Oh sweet, more suck..... I...I mean supporters."
I couldn’t even care less about what the NMDs have to say at this point. Just seeing those videos and comments from the past doctors welcoming Ncuti into the role just warms my heart
Is it more excitement that David Tennant is back as the Doctor? Or that there is a New Doctor coming? For me it's David Tennant, but I am interested to see how the new Doctor will make it his own. I really hope that the series gets better than in recent years. It's not about colour or race or gender or sexual preference! It's about the quality or acting and most definitely the stories.
It's so disappointing how most doctor who 'fans' react to the new doctor, so much for caring for the show, the show is about accepting people for who they are no matter of skin colour, clearly this person was casted not for the skin but for they're acting talent, and like I'm not the bigger fan of Nuci but im not gonna be racist and make 100000 videos and still be racist. Like come on, is a TV show about a blue police box that Flys and times travel, grow up!
Hi. Just watching your channel for the first time. I'm not gonna get into everything I've heard but I would just like to say that we all belong to the same race..... the HUMAN RACE and who you love is a personal thing and nothing to do with anyone else. I think he'll be great
I agree with what some people are saying that people shouldn't be cast on identity politics, or trying to hit equality quotas. But, that clearly isn't the case? I think people are too keen to shut people down assuming that there is some weird political reasoning behind casting, even though press runs have subtly mentioned otherwise.
So much anger. Well, I am excited for Ncuti Gatwa as the New Doctor and for David Tennant coming back too. Jodie’s finale is going to be great! This is a great time to be a Whovian!
There is nothing wrong with mispronouncing someone’s name, especially when it is derived from a language foreign to your own, different thing entirely if you purposefully mispronounce the name in a derogatory way
Agreed
No. It shows a lack of cultural sensitivity and stems from the same mindset that leads to colonialism, slavery and intersectional violence. We need to implement a zero-tolerance policy for this kind of bigotry. If you disagree you're part of the problem.

That must be why I see the same people complaining about Doctor Who and Star Trek (especially newer Trek), saying they are "woke."Both shows discuss treating others fairly, without racism, sexism, and class differences.

@@ftumschk Props. Apologies for not including that bit of info.
You have (deliberately?) missed the point. Wokery had not been invented in those days. The first director wasn't there because he "was a gay man born in India", the first show runner wasn't there because she was a woman, it was just coincidence.
Incidentally, Canadians are not a favoured group under the rules of woke. Have you noticed Canadians stuffed into advertisements or TV shows by the wokists? Neither have I.

It's great to see Ncuti get such a wonderful welcome from the Doctor's. He gets one from me too, looking forward to seeing RTDs next regeneration of Who.
I'm for sure excited. He has *that* energy - the "I want to see what he's doing" - same way Pertwee, Tom Baker had.
Couple that with good stories? Epic.
Same here. I saw him and he looked like a cool looking guy. Ok, fine. But then I saw his interview, a photo smirking, and a clip from his show and I was like "Ok, this dude has that special something that takes to be The Doctor."

Of course RTD never did anything political in Doctor Who. Midnight obviously isn't about people fearing the "not like me group". He also never brought in the Ood of course, they weren't an allegory for slavery at all. Oh! New Earth and Gridlock weren't hidden with a message about pollution either.
I mean...
To paraphrase something I said back when The Timeless Child twist happened: My problem story wise with saying there were many Doctors before Hartnell is that it creates more story plot holes then it resolves, but it also negates the significance of Whittaker being the 1st female Doctor since Jo Martin's Fugitive Doctor came before Whittaker, and now the same is true about how Gatwa is technically within the show not gonna be the 1st Person Of Color to be The Doctor.
Ummm you do know that the doctor wasn't known as the doctor their entire life?
That's a fair point. I think you've gotta separate the in-canon universe Doctors with who we, as viewers, consider to be "The Doctor".
To us, there are still 13, soon to be 14 Doctors. Jodie is still the first female Doctor and Ncuti will be the first black Doctor. Even though, to characters existing in the show, none of that is true.
It's still important for the audience to recognise that and going back and adding incarnations won't change any of that.
Did you forget in AUC, Barbara calls the Doctor “Doctor Foreman” and he replies “Doctor Who?” so the character only took the name on from then on. The Doctor wasn’t given that name by their parents, but by a random person who they kidnapped.
I'm pretty sure that going forward writers will just ignore this, like the "The Doctor is half human". They're silly ideas, but we can always just pretend they never happened. This show has never had solid canon.
@@PlatinumAltaria not even regeneration was always the same. the original implication was that the TARDIS renewed the Doctor's body. It wasn't until The War Games that we learned about the Time Lords and how regeneration worked.

For the past five years he's been whinging about how "Chibnall RUINED the show" but now it's "Chibnall TRIED to ruin the show but actually it's Davies who's RUINED the show". Like, casting a woman as the Doctor was the worst thing to happen to the show .... then the Timeless Child was the worst thing to happen to it.... but no, actually a black Doctor is REALLY the worst thing to happen to it.
I knew that as soon as a new showrunner came along that the Nazi brigade would change their story to fit whoever's running the show now, I just didn't expect it to happen so soon.
I remember when people said that Moffat killed the show. Now they're praising the good old days when the Doctor was the Hybrid and his companion was a gay black woman. I can't wait for that asshole to crash and burn once somebody digs up all his receipts, and he'll lose whatever tiny sliver of credibility he had left.
To a certain two people who were complaining about the Doctor Who episodes bringing educational (Rosa Parks, or that one concerning Yaz’s grandparents, which was definitely political and educational), here’s a news flash from a Gay, black American….
The show’s creator, Sydney Newman, originally crafted the show to be partly educational, hence, the fourth story of the series centering entirely on Marco Polo, as well as shows taking place during the French Revolution, The Aztec era, etc.
In fact, the character, James ROBERT “Jamie“ McCrimmon (Fraser Hines) was introduced in the last purely historical Doctor Who story, which was Patrick Troughton‘s second, “The Highlanders.”
Fast forward to Peter Capaldi‘s final story, twice upon a time, which partially took place during the Christmas Armistice between English and German soldiers during World War I, something which I didn’t know about until that particular story.
Just a little background for those not familiar with the original series format.
And, by the way, I liked Jodie Whittaker‘s doctor. It was just the writing by those not familiar with science fiction, as well as that time was child nonsense that brought it down.
If the actors can act and have talent, what's the problem? I only have a problem with the cast members if they don't give a good performance, or at least they're clearly not trying to give a good performance/phoning it in.
or they have awful scriptwriters and direction
@@AH-vm8yo True, or that. Somehow forgot that point.

@@sirmustardofhousemayonnais9907 He's clearly a good actor besides even if it is there is nothing wrong with some over correction for decades people would complain if they even saw a black person on tv but now they're free to cast any race gender or sexuality and maybe the black guy was the best audition or do you find it imposible that a black actor can be better than a white one?
3:57 lots of people like to know who would love to know who on the shortlist for any doctors. If you read Philip seagulls book regeneration about the TV movie, there's a list of actors who was considered and audition for the part of the 8 doctor. Fun fact John Hurt and Peter Capaldi on that list.
The Master and the Doctor should be written as mirror images of each other. Makes them both more dynamic and who is the cruel? The Master or the Doctor? Who is more evil!

The accusations he is making are just simply not true. And if you confront him on the matter he does nothing but shift goal posts. MrTardis is a weird politically motivated creep.
Hmm. Imagine NOT having a chance at the role because of the amount or melanin in your skin, or your gender? Dr Who is perhaps the only character that could be played by absolutely any actor. Ncuti may never get to play Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, or Hamlet, or Miss Marple, but he CAN play the Doctor.
Not true, if Jodie Turner Smith can play Anne Boleyn then obviously he can play any role
Not by a non-British one. :)

@@WritingGeekNL How do you know that? He can speak English can't he? If they can completely rewrite history with a black woman playing Anne Boleyn then any role is possible
Honestly being British is my only requirement to portray the Doctor and I’m kind of half kidding with even that, just given to the point that A) What even is British? B) We’re very much running out of actors at this point. Whatever, this doesn’t even apply here because Gatwa lives in the UK, has UK citizenship, and is Rwandan-Scottish, so in my book, he is British. So therefore, we have all of my criterias for casting 1) Exists 2) Is Actor (and probably good, I’ve heard good things about Sex Education) 3) Is British

@@joeespin4377 Doctor Who has always been progressive and political. The whole NuWho is revived by someone who literally produced "Queer as Folk". Pretty sure you've been watching the wrong show your whole life.
@@samic true, but should not a show runner and then writer, if they are at all professional) know that m any in the audience will most likely not be part of the choir that they are preaching to so they may have dial back the rhetoric and concentrate on writing stories that are entertaining first and political maybe third or forth
@@joeespin4377 But which part is the preachy you're referring about? Do you have a TARDIS and came back from 2024 telling me that the RTD2's Who is full of preachings?
Oh my god, the poor guy is being exposed to Mecharandom, I'm so sorry for you bro. But what to expect from the woman who said all those VILE things about Zack Snyder's daughter.
Never liked nerdrotic at all
Ncuti sure looks like he's going to be a brilliant Doctor !!! Do we know which candidates were also up for the role, there is a good chance that the runner up could be in the Tardis in 3 or 4 years
13:50 is such a strange point. Literally every positive statement about Ncuti Gatwa I've seen has been about his acting talent or his performance in the audition. So, she's saying "why can't it be about if he is a good actor?", when literally everyone is talking about how good an actor he is.
I think I commented too early because that interview just got worse and worse.
The main character of Doctor Who is literally not human. They're literally the ultimate immigrant and they're the hero of the story. How you can be xenophobic/racist is beyond me...
As long as the writing + directing is better I think he’ll be great!
My favourite part is that for the past 5 years these people have all been saying "It's not because she's a woman. They could cast a black person or a gay person for all I care."
Now it's happened, and they are losing it
I would be happy to pass away if I were bowlestrek’s dog
saying that "all conservatives" feel that way is quite dangerous, not only is it most likely Incorrect, but it also means that those who dont feel that way are getting lumped in with the ones who do, and may feel they're being attacked for something they've nothing to do with. I mean, in general it's a bad thing to say all, none, always, never and those kind of words when talking about a large group of people
If you've watched this idiot before then you'll see he calls everything racist
maybe not all conservatives take issue with a black doctor but all conservatives, to some degree, enable racism within the country by voting for a party who are actively passing/trying to pass legislation that hurts that community and others.
@@thedragonsunicorn maybe some of us brown conservatives would rather be a community of Britons instead of separate communities....
@@thedragonsunicorn or maybe theres a difference between conservative views and the conservative party ... cant believe i have to explain that.
@@onekie5787 that's my point. someone may hold conservative views, which arguably aren't necessarily racist but so long as they vote for the conservative party, they're still enabling racism.
Glad you’re making these videos keep it up!
Hope Ncuti doesn’t become overwhelmed by the racism or homophobia, stay strong and have an amazing run as the Doctor 💙
If I remember correctly when Dr Who returned his human companion asked why he had a Northern accent, he replied that many planets have a North. It seems many planets have equator and tropics too.
well, yeah that's how planets work
When even classic who actors accept him as the doctor, but racist fans don't....
So sad...
I mean, being a stooge for Tory government censorship should get bowlestrek' fan card revoked by default (if his audience actually cared).
@@SavageBroadcast DW: Has a lot of episodes focused on accepting different people. And learning to leave together with them.
DW CZcamsrs: EWW BLACK PEOPLE SHOULDN'T PLAY THE DOCTOR!
Like seriously that's the whole point of William Hartnel's "The Daleks" Serial, that's why the Daleks are the bad guys, because they hate everyone simply for being different, Chesterton even describes it as a "Dislike for the Unlike".
And then there's "The Ark" also from the Hartnel era. In which the Monoids who were treated as slaves by the human refugees seeking a new planet eventually turn against those humans and enslave them in the second half of the serial, with said serial literally stating that there will be no future for mankind if they can't make peace with the Monoids.
(And then again even classic Who actors accepts Ncuti as the Doctor, so there's no excuse.)
The people mocking Ncuti for his name are most likely the same people who make up ridiculous spellings of common names to make them ‘unique’, but just make it impossible for anyone to read them. Or the same people who praise Elon Musk for naming his son X Æ A-Xii!
Ridiculous spellings of common names are one of my pet hates! I mean, what's so clever about taking a proper word like Jordan and spelling it Jordon or Jordyn?
Also skin color and sexuality and gender is not political it's human rights conservatives make basic rights political
It's ironic they complain that people are to offended these days when the only ones I see getting offended easily are them.
Why can’t people just wait to see how he takes to the role and then decide on how he handles the character.
The doctor is an alien so it does not matter what gender or race (according to earth races) he is.
Seems to me these people who get angry about an actor being a certain race or gender have way too much time on their hands.
They do
Life long fans are very invested in these storys. Woe betide you cross a fandom. We have seen it so many times. If it wasn't paid for by a mandatory tax, they might have to consider the ramifications of their choices
We need to call out racism/sexism, etc etc whenever/wherever we see it!! All the Best to our New Doctor and Companion!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one to pronounce Ncuti's name wrong. I felt like a total idiot when I found out I was saying his name wrong.
My first attempt at pronouncing it was "Cutie."
I'm really excited about the new Doctor. What about those words "New Doctor" can't incite excitement, they could have been chosen by lot and I'd still be this hyped.
The only test is how they play the role, and even if bady gender, race and sexuality are not factors of argument.
Well done Ncuti, I'm looking forward to seeing him for the first time in the Blue Box. Only then will I check out his past work.
'someone who is so aggressively stupid i think talking about them is a form of ableism'... bro???? Are you literally calling people disabled??!?!? What the actual hell
how do you still have a platform so often saying things like this??
CZcamsrs TurfNation and Karina McDaniels did vids on MechaRandom42. She's completely out of her mind and has a very unhealthy obsession with Brie Larson.
I do want to thank you for existing. I used to be a fan of the people who would make these videos, because I literally had no social experience or any idea what was going on in the outside world, because I was only 20 years old, relatively sheltered, and trying to construct an adult life during the pandemic. It's funny to think back on now.
WTF?Such a barbaric assessment of what's real. Cheers to all those whose dedication and training have brought us so much.
There is literally zero reason why the Doctor would have to be white. None at all. Taking issue with the Doctor not being white makes *far less* sense than taking issue with the Doctor not being a man, and the hatedom that formed around the idea of the Doctor not being a man was already utterly absurd.
I am just left with the same thought I had when Capaldi or Whitaker were announced: "I don't know this actor but they've yet to cast a bad actor to play the Doctor so I'm sure they'll do fine." (I seem to recall Capaldi was actually a popular choice before he was announced, but *I* had not seen any of the stuff he was in.)
And also, Ncuti isn't even the first black Doctor: Jo Martin is. So I don't know why these Fox News rejects are so hung up on Ncuti.
This is ridiculous. First it was the drama with jodie when she was announced to be the first female doctor, Now we got drama with Ncuti. Can't we all just agree that his gonna be a good doctor after jodie leaves the show.
We cant agree about something we haven't seen and dont know yet.
@@redbearington3345 Fair point
Probably I mean, we've never had a bad doctor and probably never will only bad Writing and we got a mostly decent if of it preachy writer
Never gonna let him live down. The man who never wouldn't nonsense dear rtd
I don't care about his colour, all I care about is that he is British and does a proper job.
He is British.
Hey there. I’m that commenter about Jodie not watching the show. I didn’t mean it as a double standard and it was honestly pure gatekeeping and frustration. I wanted another woman with a good writer as the Doctor because I wanted them to prove that we can have a really good female Doctor. Watching your video and finally relaxing from the five years of frustration have changed my mind. Just give us a good actor and a good writer who respects respects the lore.
I didn’t mean any sexism or pure hatred towards Jodie. It was a complete misunderstanding and I do wish Jodie the best and for some banger Big Finish dramas. I also look forward to Ncuti Gatwa and I believe he is in good hands as RTD is an incredible writer and I love his work in DW.
Fuck the racists and sexists and conspiracy theorists. Thank you for bringing up these things in the fandom that I’ve never heard of before. This needed to be brought up.
Edit: Sorry for the many edits. I was flustered and my mind was going a million miles a minute.
You know what, this is based shit. It takes a good person to be able to come back and do this.
So who actually said “black people must not be on TV”?
Subtext, read between the lines
Oooohh that sppoky subtext.
You know that thing where you go off what you think people mean instead of what they actually mean 😂
Please don't promote MechaRandom I don't want the slightest chance that CZcams might push her Hate Peddling videos at me yet again. One of my proudest moments was when mid argument she decided to block me on Twitter then continue the argument and claim I was not responding.
Who cares what colour he is, he’s a great actor
I mean what century do certain people live in? Seriously.
Did these terrible people get upset about Craig Charles and Danny John-Jules being cast back in the late 80's in Red Dwarf?
I feel sorry for your recommended feed after watching these reactionary videos lol
You notice how much Doctor Who casting has become like the 2nd Doctor's Regeneration choices? To old, to fat, to thin, to young. Now add to female and to black.
Lol ! 😂 Remember Doctor Who is first & foremost a Modern day family / kids show not a Nostalgia O.A.P fest !
My reaction was that Ncuti looked so young , all the Doctors were old or old looking in a young body (100% Matt Smith & somewhat David Tennant) !
What a difference a pencil moustache made Ncuti look in one of his photos I saw online - Wow ! I wonder if that was just him or one of his roles ?
Haven't seen him act in anything but Sex Ed - if anybody thinks he will clone that role into his new Doctor Who role they will surely be mistaken . All them detractors have just grown old ... Oh well I'm old as well & you can't stop TIME ... Or being Scottish or coming from Rwanda !
I don't see why not being able to pronounce his name should disqualify him. I had trouble as well, but you know what I did, I looked it up and learnt, because that is the respectful thing to do. I have full confidence Ncuti will make a great Doctor.
You know the whole box ticking argument conservatives like to peddle, everything in the entertainment industry (or more to the point anything) ticks boxes in order to appeal to a mass audience, it's been going on for decades, it's not ground breaking stuff. The fact minorities are finally getting a box which can be ticked is incredible progress and it shows how the world is changing for the better.
I'm of the view point that, unless it's propaganda, what the entertainment industry does is a reflection of the human condition (the positive and negative side), this is why the claim "media causes violence" doesn't hold up at all.
Also box ticking of the past used to promote conservative values and media that promoted liberal values were seen as revolutionary, now mainstream liberal values are common place, but of course conservatives don't want to admit the shit they like used to tick boxes and think box ticking is a new phenomena.
On Ncuti Gatwa being cast, people have already made there mind up on him (he's only had a few seconds as the Doctor, how do you know he's crap?). If it turns out he can't act his way out of a paper bag (given he's already an established actor and had a great audition that's highly doubtful) or the scripts suck then fair enough but his first season hasn't even dropped yet, who knows, he might be the best Doctor since Troughton.
The show was obviously written from its inception with a white British male in mind as its lead, even as was Sherlock Holmes, by way of example. I can understand why fans of the classic show and the successful reboot (when it was successful…I.e., up to Capladi), would be disappointed with a departure from the standard which has always worked. But I do think the idea that the CZcamsrs that are being criticised are racist and asserting ‘black people shouldn’t be on TV’ are really rather reactionary and frankly utterly pathetic when all they are essentially objecting to is cultural misappropriation.
I appreciate the time you take to call out these people. We can’t just leave them in their bubble spreading hate. They’re too used to being unchallenged. Keep it up.
Remember that episode of 'South Park', where Jimbo was defending a rather politically incorrect piece of South Park's history? Then, when the KKK members started supporting his cause, he told them "Hey now, we don't want your support. We're not racist, this is about history."
Now, if Nerdrotic and all these other rotten guttersnipes had the KKK supporting their videos, I'll bet they'd see it and be like "Oh sweet, more suck..... I...I mean supporters."
I mean, he did have Alex Jones on stream, so yeah.
You're doing God's work, here, my friend. Thank you.
I couldn’t even care less about what the NMDs have to say at this point. Just seeing those videos and comments from the past doctors welcoming Ncuti into the role just warms my heart
*The Fourthteen Doctor* this sentence did not age well. 😂
Is it more excitement that David Tennant is back as the Doctor? Or that there is a New Doctor coming? For me it's David Tennant, but I am interested to see how the new Doctor will make it his own. I really hope that the series gets better than in recent years. It's not about colour or race or gender or sexual preference! It's about the quality or acting and most definitely the stories.
It's so disappointing how most doctor who 'fans' react to the new doctor, so much for caring for the show, the show is about accepting people for who they are no matter of skin colour, clearly this person was casted not for the skin but for they're acting talent, and like I'm not the bigger fan of Nuci but im not gonna be racist and make 100000 videos and still be racist. Like come on, is a TV show about a blue police box that Flys and times travel, grow up!
They are literally Daleks
so if the first female and black doctor was 'woke' then doesn't that mean every casting before them was sexist and rascist?
Hi. Just watching your channel for the first time. I'm not gonna get into everything I've heard but I would just like to say that we all belong to the same race..... the HUMAN RACE and who you love is a personal thing and nothing to do with anyone else. I think he'll be great
I agree with what some people are saying that people shouldn't be cast on identity politics, or trying to hit equality quotas. But, that clearly isn't the case? I think people are too keen to shut people down assuming that there is some weird political reasoning behind casting, even though press runs have subtly mentioned otherwise.
So much anger. Well, I am excited for Ncuti Gatwa as the New Doctor and for David Tennant coming back too. Jodie’s finale is going to be great! This is a great time to be a Whovian!
