What casting Descisions would make you switch off your favourite show?
This isn't another... oh if they cast the doctor as a woman thread...
I really dislike
Ricky Gervase and actively won't watch hus stuff... I skip past his bit in stardust... well I watch him get killed... I'm not an idiot.
I have more. But.. let's hear from you?

I would watch Doctor Who with a woman, but... I wouldn't want to watch it as much. That said. I actively don't like Matt Smith as an actor. He seems like a nice person, but I wouldn't listen to any of his Big Finish stuff (if he were to do it) unless I hear that they are the best releases ever.

I would watch Doctor Who regardless but if they cast Robert Pattison in the show it would seriously test my faith in the show.

If Miranda Hart had been the new companion I would have finally given up.

Honestly, I don't think I would stop watching because of a casting decision. Because of a certain head writer on the other hand...

Nah, neither a casting decision or choice of show runner would make me stop watching. If the actual stories themselves were so bad week after week, then that would do it for me.

So, if the Doctor was played by your least favourite actor, you'd still watch? Have you stopped watching because of Moffat, or do you plan to stop watching when Chibnall joins?

I mean, it definitely wouldn't, because its still Doctor Who, but I would definitely complain about it on the internet. Unless she turned out to be surprisingly good. You never know.

If Craig from The Lodger, Closing Time was announced as the new companion (unlikely now thank goodness)

James Nesbit would make me turn off if he became the doctor....idris Elba as well
Not sure I would want to watch a female doctor, to me the dynamic would be all wrong and change the core of the show too much.
But I have manage to stick with the show through two incarnations of the doctor that are bottom of my list, but that's possible the direction of the show as much as the actors. So a change of direction with a strong female I might be Abel to stomach, but not a prospect I relish.

Sure, I'd give them a chance, choice of actor isn't particularly important to me. Put it this way - I'd rather watch something well written and badly acted than badly written and well acted. I haven't bothered with Series 9 yet and don't intend to watch Series 10. I will probably start watching again once Chibnall joins.

That sums it up for me, as well. Off the top of my head, I can't think of an actor who would make me not want to watch a show.

I have no interest in the new Jumanji film, one reason being Kevin Hart! Jack Black the other!

I have no interest in the new Jumanji film, one reason being Kevin Hart! Jack Black the other! I never said I like every actor. There are definitely actors I like more than others. Some I could take or leave. But I can't think (off the top of my head) of an actor I dislike so much that it would spoil a whole show for me. Maybe there is one and I'm just not remembering, but I can't think of one right now. Casting choices are not necessarily the reason that I choose to watch or not. Usually it has more to do with the subject of the show and the story line. Although I am more inclined to try a show if it has an actor I love in it.

I don't think casting would play a part in me giving up on the show again, it will come down to the storylines...
Though yes, if Ricky Gervais joined the show as Doctor/companion/Master/random guest actor with more than one line, I would have to give that episode/series a miss, can't stand the man.
