    I'm a Canadian, old enough to have watched the 60's Dr Who, but too young to have gotten more out of it than the Daleks were very scary. The show has remained a touchstone of my childhood though, and I've watched it on and off through the years. And yes, David Tennant is a particular favourite.
    I absolutely love Ncuti as the new Doc and hope he gets to wear a kilt often. And twirl, often. He brings a joyful force of nature to the world and I can't wait to see the new series.
    For interests sake, a Canadian, Sydney Newman originated the kernel idea of Dr Who and The Avengers (not the Marvel ones) and you might want to google articles on him. I can't post links here. Cheers!

      I laugh at people that will watch something, and then go out of their way to complain on stations/channels about the subject.
      Like its YELP or something, and they are posting a review or talking to the manager.

      Is the fact that every other doctor is white integral to understanding the character? Does his whiteness actually matter when he’s a space alien? Nah. You just wanted to be the focus! Felt sad cause the space alien hero isn’t your same skin color, did ya? I don’t think you actually watch the show lol

      Ncuti Gatwa is huge are you mad? Sex education was a hit, as well as the fact he was in Barbie. He's proved himself as a really versatile actor who can play dark and emotional as well as joyous. I think you're butt hurt by this casting for no reason. Give it a chance. It's a show about change and it's changing with the times
