Another skinny white guy. Wow. I can hardly control my excitement. Moffat would never have cast a woman, even if Helen Mirren agreed to do it, but I do think the time has come to shake things up. Everyone panics at change but that is rather the whole point of this series. The main character can change.

Although I am glad he is older, I would have loved to see a fresh take on the character, instead of a step backwards.
Yeah, I agree with you. The Doctor *can* change into ANYONE...but he keeps changing into the same old thing. Wasn't this show supposed to be like Star Trek? To boldly go on TV where other shows dare to tread? To show people just how ethnocentric they are...and how there's so much wonderful adventure waiting for them outside of it if they'd just open up to it?
I guess I fail to understand the expectation that the Doctor must become black or female at some point or else the writers/producers are discriminating, perhaps because those segments of actors are often overlooked for other roles in the industry, like I said, I don't understand. Producers of shows discriminate all the time, that's the nature of casting
