Did someone say pirates?
What are the odds someone's going to yell "Cultural Appropriation" over Jodie's shirt?
Given 13 doesn't do costumes, I imagine this will be contextualized i.e. the fam get captured by pirates and she's given the outfit. But putting that whole thing aside, this could be a legit winner: action setpieces have been one of this era's consistent strongpoints, so doing swashbuckling could make for, at least, some fun.

Now that I think of it: we haven't had a story set in a travel agency yet. Possibilites...

Awful choice. Not straight but back to the skinny white bloke trope. Boring.

Personally, I disagree. I think his acting in It’s A Sin was fantastic and it would be really exciting to see where he can go next! EDIT: to counter your reasoning for why this would be awful casting.. I think that someone like Olly Alexander still breaks the mould. Jodie provided female representation to those who hadn’t seen it as much on the tv before, and now Alexander (though it hasn’t been confirmed if he is playing a gay Doctor or not) is providing much needed queer representation too. It would be difficult to please everybody in these times, but in the last few years we’ve had a female Doctor, a black Doctor and now (potentially) a queer Doctor. Not too many boring tropes there!

The black doctor has been a cameo. To not have another woman after Jodie makes it look like a failure.

The black doctor has been a cameo. To not have another woman after Jodie makes it look like a failure. So far, Jo Martin’s Doctor has appeared in two eps, a short story and is now appearing in Time Fracture in London.. and hopefully there’ll be more plans to see her in the future! I think that’s quite a reductive way to look in terms of successes and failures too.. you’re only looking towards the future in order to determine how much of a success something has been without appreciating all of the wins that have occurred along the way. Viewership increased with a new female Doctor, new fans joined the community, female fans gained a new role model, we’ll have had at least three more series of our favourite show with some bold new changes taking place inside that. Focus on the present rather than what might happen next if you’re looking for successes and failures.

I think that’s a shame if that’s the reaction we’re hoping for - why should people be angry about this casting at all?!

Focus on the present rather than what might happen next if you’re looking for successes and failures. True, female fans have been given a role model. So just going back to a bloke again, even one who is gay seems a backwards step, taking away that female role model. Personally I think Jo Martin deserves better than being a plot device, she was so good to not use her as the next doctor given the fan base she's already generated feels like a wasted opportunity.

You don't care and think DW is over... which is why you're always in Jodie or Jodie-era threads. To quote a Spanish swordsman, “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”

Never seen Alexander in anything (though keep meaning to watch It’s a Sin), so no real opinion, but god it’s depressing how some people on Twitter have responded to that rumour.
