Female Dr Who

Remember when a while back internet went mad about Dr Who being a woman.  Dr is an alien for crying out loud... surly it doesn't matter!  But it is finally here.  And it is rather great as usual. However why is only when Dr became a woman we are dealing with such earthly matters like segregation a and racism (Rosa) or Indian separation and creation of Pakistan? I love how these issues are seen through the eyes of women and female experiences coz let’s be honest it hasn’t been shown like this much. Women just keeping calm and carry on... but we are raging on the inside.  I was in floods of tear on both occasions... in actual floods. Would love to meet Unrbine in real life, such a strong woman!  The Dr did touch of sensitive subjects before but not in  such down to literal Earth and these aren’t necessary alien topics.  I just wish it all can be just in our (human) past and we can just used these events and lessons to learn, and not...

And the internet goes mad

So new doctor who is Jodie Whittaker and the internet went mad... a woman doctor what?! I enjoyed the new Doctor and the Christmas specials and all the fun and sometimes scary and unexpected twists and turns. And frankly I didn't think much about who is going to be a new doctor. Until I was listening to Scummy Mummies podcast and when Helen Thorn's daughter said wouldn't it be nice if next doctor would be a girl... like a little light bulb went off in my head, yeah really why can't it be a woman.   12th doctor was so much fun, thank you Peter Capaldi ! And the new companion Pearl Mackie 's character Bill was gay. Honestly the episode with Romans and discussion about sexuality made me chuckle and it was just so as a matter to fact! Also very sad to see her leave the show. I loved Bill... The show is about kindness, bravery and love. Doctor is always trying to help everyone!  But all this not only just a great show it also shows kids that it's all...
