Oh no, not a social media backlash. How devastating. That'll definitely be representative of what the British public thinks.
SKIN COLOR...WHAT DOES IT MATTER?
share
You just don't understand. It's a family-friendly sci-fi show about an alien who travels around in a police box and fights a different monster every week. How dare they not be historically accurate about Sir Isaac Newton's skin tone in a comedy bit where he's made to look like a chump. Takes you right out of the episode...
... or something.
You can judge a wise man by the color of skin .

It matters a shit-ton to black people (as they never shut up about it)
shareWHITE PEOPLE'S SKIN COLOR DISCUSSION LEVEL IS EQUAL.
shareNo it isn't (and you know it)
White lives matter?
White history month?
White entertainment television?
You're so full of shit kowalski, you need a flush installing into your neck,
Fuck off troll
ALL LIVES MATTER.
WHITE HISTORY HAS 11 MONTHS.
WHITE ENTERTAINMENT TELVISION...LIKE 90% OF TV FOR THE FIRST 50 YEARS?
YOU ARE RUDE...BE NICER.
All lives matter and White pride have been deemed 'racist' thanks to self-hating types like yourself.
I know this...You know this.
White history has no celebrated periodical celebration...simply because it doesn't need to have any..it's responsible for everything that we take for granted,
Black history month, is something that blacks (and their enablers) created, as a compensatory 'celebration" of nonexistent black history (which in reality is all shit) they've invented nothing (other than additions to already groundbreaking inventions) which is why, they now try to go back beyond recorded history with all this 'we waz Kangz' shit...until they realise it chides against they're 'we were brought here as slaves (despite the fact blacks invented slavery. Sold they're own into it and still practice such to this very day)
Care to refute this, please feel free to cite the great historical black moments/inventions?
I know this...You know this.
TV for the first 50 years was (still) for everyone...in fact it was one of the few 'mediums' that blacks actually prospered in. Please feel free to give a link to a channel called 'white entertainment television?
I know this...You know this,
You're a complete waste of bandwidth and time kowalski (I'm surely not the first to point this out) Yet somehow, you think everyone else is somehow wring and you're just some misunderstood progressive.
Despite your post count, you bring nothing to MovieChat and (I'll also wager) life?
MORE RUDENESS...WHICH IS ALL YOU BRING TO MOVIECHAT...KOWALSKI HOWEVER...CAN BE FOUND ON EVERY FORM OF THREAD ON THIS SITE ENJOYING MOVIE DISCUSSION.
YOU NEED TO BE BETTER.
The thing that annoys me is the hypocrisy. I watched the Unleashed episode following The Giggle and found the lecture about the original incarnation of the Toymaker's costume being Chinese in style very OTT.
If we have to accept Sir Isaac Newton, one of the world's greatest ever scientists and English born and bred, being played by a non-white actor, why is a character wearing a costume belonging to a different nationality so wrong?
My thoughts exactly. Russell T Davies seems to just be on a piss take more than anything else. How difficult would it have been to cast a white actor?
And to those defending his choices, they would be triggered if a person of colour was cast with a white.
I'M OK WITH IT.ππΎ

Have you started watching the show, Kowalski? It seems like something you and your daughter might get a kick out of. New episode with a new Doctor airs in a couple of hours. The perfect place to start if you haven't already been drawn into this world.
I HAVE WATCHED A ALOT OF COVERAGE OF THE SHOW BY VARIOUS YOUTUBE CHANNELS I ENJOY...BUT HAVE ALWAYS FOUND THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF SHOT TO BE DAUNTING...I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING IT THOUGH...I HAV ENJOYED MANY BBC SHOWS OVER THE YEARS.

It's a show that sort of naturally reboots itself every few years whenever they change the lead actor, so -- my advice -- forget about the sixty years' worth of stuff and just jump on. It'll start fresh and introduce itself all over again. That's what it does.
If you end up really liking it, eventually you may find yourself going back to 2005 and doing the big trip through all of 'New Who'. But it's not required. It's not really the kind of show where you need to do that.
Y'know, you don't have to have seen every episode of every incarnation of Star Trek to appreciate a self-contained Star Trek story. It's a bit like that.
In addition to what capuchin said, I would highly recommend starting with the βNew Whoβ 2005 stuff. This was where I started with Alexi and she absolutely loves the show (currently weβre up to where Peter Capaldi is the Doctor, so sheβs still got a little bit to go).
For me David Tennant was awesome and both Matt Smith and Christopher Eccleston were excellent.
Give it a try, Iβm sure you and Ali will love it.
