I honestly didn't think it would happen. I wanted it to, but I was so sure it was going to be a guy - and probably the guy from the show about a detective in the Caribbean (can't be arsed to check the name of the show), that I was set for disappointment.

Not having to be disappointed? Priceless. (I think I'd actually have been almost as happy if it had been a male POC, but I'm so happy that it's a woman!)

Yes they are - as are (and I'm being rather mean when I say it, but I can't help myself) the tears of men and women who are horrified about this, declaring that Who is dead to them now, and predicting the failure of the franchise.

Haha, oh yes, them. Mean is good in the context, definitely ;)

Have you seen Whittaker in Broadchurch? I thought she held her own amazingly in such a strong cast. She had to deal with so many raw, devastating emotions and uncomfortable scenes, and she knocked it out of the park both seasons. She definitely has the range required for the Doctor.

No, I haven't watched Broadchurch; I'm told it's very good. I'm glad to hear she held her own. Of course, one of the wonderful things about the pool of talent in the UK is that it's just that - a pool of talent. I know there are undoubtedly mediocre and downright bad UK actors, but I've never run into them.

Bring her on - I'm more excited than I can say!
