Doctor Who Casting

Recently history was made with the casting of the new Doctor in the long running science fiction series Doctor Who. It made history because the new Doctor is a woman and will be played by Broadchurch and Adult Life Skills actress Jodie Whittaker. Her casting marks a massive shift for the show and this led to a conversation between Craig and Kat taking place once there had been time to reflect on it.

The conversation covers their feelings on the casting and descends into speculation of what that could mean for the show.

Craig can all be found on this very site as well as being avid contributors to many of the podcasts. If you want to see more from Kat then head on over to her YouTube channel Cinescapist TV.
