A skeptical response is what is to be expected from such groundbreaking news but to our surprise, with a few exception of course, most fans have a very positive reaction towards Jodie.

A former Doctor Who actor, Peter Davison said: “If I feel any doubts, it’s the loss of a role model for boys who I think Doctor Who is vitally important for.” He, however, defines Jodie as a terrific actress who is undoubtedly fit for the role.

Some people didn’t hesitate for a second to express their skepticism and has called this an attempt from BBC to assert political correctness and deviate away from source material as none of the doctors is a woman. Although she received mixed reviews, the general consensus is in favour of Jodie so she has nothing to worry about. We wish her all the best!
