­　　卡拉•喬安娜在推特上說，她會收看節(jié)目，而預(yù)告片讓她“有點哽咽”。另一位推特用戶阿亞德稱：“我根本不看《神秘博士》，但是一位女博士太酷了。”

­　　But Samantha Melton said: "I am a woman and a feminist but I don"t want a female Doctor. To me it"s trying too hard to tick the boxes."

­　　不過薩曼莎•梅爾頓說：“我是一名女性，也是女權(quán)主義者，但是我不希望看到女博士，對我而言這太難接受了。”

­　　另一位網(wǎng)友稱：“我是不會看劇了，很抱歉，但是博士本來就是男性角色……找個女性是行不通的……”

­　　也有網(wǎng)友認(rèn)為，不應(yīng)過早否定這個決定，至少應(yīng)該給惠特克嘗試的機(jī)會：

­　　Doctor Who writer Jenny Colgan, who has written for the series" books and audio dramas, said: "I am of course incredibly excited the new Doctor is a woman; Steven Moffat has been paving the way for this for ages and it is absolutely about time. I can"t imagine what it"s like for Jodie: she must be so scared and excited all at once, but I couldn"t be happier, and 100% can"t wait to write for her."

­　　《神秘博士》的編劇珍妮•科爾根為該劇的圖書和廣播劇創(chuàng)作劇本。她表示：“新任博士是一名女性讓我格外激動。史蒂文•莫法特已經(jīng)為此鋪墊很久了，現(xiàn)在時機(jī)絕對成熟了。我無法想象惠特克現(xiàn)在是什么心情：她一定既害怕又興奮，但我簡直太開心了，完全迫不及待想為她創(chuàng)作。”

­　　Will Howells, who writes for the Doctor Who magazine and has been a fan for 25 years, said: "In 2017, there shouldn"t be anything major about a TV series changing from a male lead to a female one.

­　　威爾•豪威爾斯是《神秘博士》雜志的撰稿人，也是該劇25年的粉絲，他說：“在2017年，一部電視連續(xù)劇的男主角被換成女主角不應(yīng)該有什么大問題。”

­　　"I don"t think it"s a risky choice at all - but if a show that can go anywhere and do anything can"t take risks, what can?"

­　　“我不認(rèn)為這是個冒險的選擇，但是如果連一部電視劇都不能自由發(fā)展、不能嘗試冒險，那么還有什么可以呢？”

­　　Actress Olivia Colman, who starred in a Doctor Who episode and was one of the possible candidates for the role, said it was a "classy decision".

­　　女演員奧莉薇婭•柯爾曼曾在《神秘博士》某集中出演，作為該角色曾經(jīng)的候選人之一，她說這是一個“漂亮的決定”。

­　　"The creatives made the right decision that the part should be a woman and it"s about time," she told BBC News. She added that those unhappy about Whittaker being the new Time Lord should "leave her alone and let her do her job brilliantly".

­　　柯爾曼告訴英國廣播公司新聞頻道：“創(chuàng)作人員做出了正確的決定，這個角色應(yīng)該是一名女性，現(xiàn)在是時候了。”她還稱，那些不滿意惠特克扮演新的時間領(lǐng)主的人應(yīng)該“別煩她，讓她出色完成自己的工作”。

­　　Whittaker starred as Beth Latimer in the three series of the ITV crime drama Broadchurch, as the mother of a murdered boy.
