I respect Peter's opinion, he's certainly a terrific actor. I love his two Dalek movies.

RIP Peter Cushing he was a fantastic actor.

[@wesleycook7687]

I wonder when he was offered the role. I know he did the 2 movies but what years? I've seen them on U Tube..

What a lovely voice

[@fjccommish]

Today we have a woman playing the SJW and WOKE as the Doctor. NEW WHO ruined Doctor Who.

[@DigitalBath742]

People have been saying that ever since the Dr turned from Hartnell to Troughton, so please excuse me while I move on from this 50 year old rant and enjoy the show.

She's playing the SJW and WOKE? Now that's range.

[@paulashe61]

The fact Tom Bakers replacement wasn’t Miriam Margolyes was a crime. As was his recommendation

[@buffaloalbertz1690]

Doctor Who hasn't been worth watching since Sylvester McCoy stopped. Any episode after McCoy is raw shit

[@LibertyBridgeProductions]

@@buffaloalbertz1690 okay yeh watch a sylvestor Mcoy episode and show anyone blink or heaven sent straight after and ask them what they think is better 🤣🤣🤣
