This is nothing, just wait til you see the next doctor - a black Muslim lesbian in a wheelchair.

Don't forget to add that they used to be a man... hang on, they were... hmm...

Funny that the people commenting on this don't seem to be fans of the show!
The Doctor is already a veteran of the Time War.

The problem isn't always the actors (I liked Tennant as the doctor), but the stories / writers.

Of course the writing concern applies to any story, but changes in actor and characterization between seasons is a uniquely Doctor Who issue (among the shows that I watch at any rate).

Whaaaaaat???
Okay, Baker wasn't very goo but Tennant, after Troughton, was the best Doctor. By far.

Look at that, a difference of opinion about who played it best! Never been here before...
If you think that, as an actor, Tennant played it best though...I'm sorry.

I've watched every doctor since episode 1 - for me Troughton was best; dark and dangerous (I was a wee child so pretty much every adult seemed dark and dangerous ).
Tennant brought a similar feel to the show as Troughton had and I enjoyed his portrayal. Matt Smith lacked eyebrows (and gravitas). Eccleston probably would have been very good if he'd stuck with it.
The actor I felt would also have been very good in the role was Paul McGann.
Anyway, yes, just an opinion.

Should have been Schwarzenegger. He would have brought a whole new slant to the role.

It's a scandal I tell you! A scandal!
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

My wife feels that same way - me, I can;t wait to see how they handle it and how different she'll be. In any case, no one bitched about The Master/Missy.
Remember, the Doctor is a FICTIONAL character - he/she is not real so it doesn't matter what they do with the character.

He should have regenerated into a Dalek.

Yes, but they're changing the title to Nurse Who.
