Just read this. In a similar vein, let's say there was a new production that feature Henry VIII. Not necessarily a Doctor Who episode, but even a huge movie.
Should it matter if the actor playing Henry VIII is thin? Has black hair? Is black? Is chinese? Is a woman?

Not so sure when you come to historical films which I think should be more accurate.

I wouldn't mind a Shakepeare play set in, say Africa, where all the main actors are black, or at least not white.
But I wouldn't have a black Queen Elizabeth I because QE1 was white. For the same reason I wouldn't have a white, chinese or asian actor playing Nelson Mandela, I'd have a black actor.
Simples.

Shouldn't the best actor get the job though regardless of race?

Dame Maggie Smith as Nelson Mandela? Disrespectful and insulting or artistic licence?
That means that in all likelyhood they explicit wanted a black dude to play the role.
I don't have any problem with it really - we want to try this new approach with this well known material
Fine, but if it's shit I will certainly voice that opinion. And you don't get to call me racist/sexist/homophobic etc, in response. Look at the reception to the new Ghostbusters movie. Everyone thinks from the trailier that it looks utterly SHIT. Nothing to do with them replacing the guys with some gals and hot ginger secretary with a young stud.
It just looks weak as fuck. The acting is bad, the CGI is bad, and the jokes are not funny.
