Got to admit I've not watched it since Sylvester Mccoy in 1987 or something. I just can't stand the guy in the show. He didn't fit in for me. So stopped watching it after that and not watched it since.
Not sure I can get away with seeing a Woman as Dr Who after all these years of being played by a Male. Just seems odd. I know it's looking like a PC issue but it's just not for me. Sadly.
PS. It does look like Chewey got the old thread. I didn't find it.

I loved classic Doctor Who as a kid. I think each Doctor had some great and not-so-great stories - but The Doctor himself was always great. As The Brig liked to say, "Splendid fellow - all of them." I started with Tom Baker, who will always be THE Doctor to me. I continued watching with the 5th, 6th, and 7th Doctors as the series went on - but I also got caught up on the stories with the first three Doctors. McCoy's run was a bit uneven. Some of his early stories were just goofy, and towards the end of his series, the writers tried so hard to make The Doctor this dark, mysterious, all-knowing being who was more than JUST a Time Lord that they lost sight of who The Doctor was, and what made the series work for over two decades...then it was over, for a while. I liked McCoy's portrayal of The Doctor, and he did have some stories which were brilliant. Others were flashy, confusing messes.
I was cautiously hopeful when Doctor Who returned in the '90s in the form of a TV-movie, which gave us the debut of Paul McGann's Doctor #8. While there were a few flaws in the story, I did enjoy McGann's brief stint as The Doctor - and I was disappointed a new Doctor Who series did not result from this.
When Doctor Who finally did return in 2005, once again I was cautiously hopeful. I quickly found I loved the new Who too! The actors were different, the effects were improved - but the magic was still there.
Sure, some stories weren't quite as good as others - but there were plenty of really good, even great, stories! As with the old series, I liked each of the Doctors in this new series, particularly David Tennant. Sadly, I missed all but the first three episodes from Peter Capaldi's final season, due to a lengthy hospitalization. Happily, I can catch up on all those episodes, and rewatch all the adventures of Doctors 9 through 12 on DVD! I got the complete box set of 9 + 10 last summer for my birthday, while for Christmas I got the box sets for 11 and for 12!
