Don't worry, there will still be "the doctor is a woman" jokes and references. In the article it stated that the writers didn't know when they made their drafts. There's plenty of time during finals, punch ups, and on set improve!

Some early reviews are in. The general consensus that I've read so far is that the production values are great, Jodi is fine, the shows tone has shifted a bit towards less "witty" and more "accessible".

Hot takes! Those aren't my feelings. I haven't seen anything, but I am looking forward to the change. I wonder what they mean by witty and accessible. I know no matter what happens we aren't going to have farting aliens and killer trash cans... Right?

In anticipation of the new series, I've taken my 13 Doctors figures and nerdily posed them all looking towards an opened Tardis waiting.

Also it helps if I link the article:

Maybe, I thought "less witty" may refer to:

Rod Mcphee, The Sun posted:

She doesn't always strike the right balance between quirky geek and masterful Time Lord. And at times she comes across as irritatingly childlike...

Though from the same article

more peoples! posted:

Does this first episode get everything right, all of the time? No," said Digital Spy's Morgan Jeffrey.

"But it scores where it really counts, showing more than enough wit and flair to convince us that we're entering into a new era that'll be every bit as bold and, yes, brilliant as we'd hoped.

So if anyone's keeping track, that's less witty but definitely more than enough wit. :D Basically what I'm saying is that I love critics!

Seriously though, I am looking forward to it and now a little more so since it seems like it's getting generally positive feedback.

Wait wait wait. Guys. I’m having an existential crisis. What do we do with the line “Wonderful chaps - all of them?” :ohdear:

Now you bring this up, right after that new tattoo I got!
