DOCTOR Who star Sylvester McCoy has admitted he was 'stupid and sexist' for objecting to Jodie Whittaker's casting. The 77-year-old actor played the Seventh Doctor in the hit BBC series from 1987 to 1989, while Jodie was revealed as the first female Doctor and the 13th Time Lord in 2017.

Speaking to Radio Times, Sylvester admitted he initially had reservations about the decision, but soon changed his mind. He said: "I’ve seen bits of it.

I watched the opening [episode] – because one has to, you know – and I was initially kind of uncertain about it. "It was stupid sexism, really, because, after 10 minutes, she was the Doctor – it didn’t make any sense even to think that one could doubt it." Sylvester then reached out to Jodie, 38,.

Chris Willman Music WriterHow will Neil Young fare as a streaming presence now that he’s taken his music off Spotify, the service that accounted for close to half of his streaming revenue prior to his initiating a break amid the ongoing Joe Rogan?The long-term effect on consumption for Young’s songs remains to be seen or felt, and the veteran rocker may yet see his numbers sink without consumers being able to access his material via music’s most popular digital destination. But in the two weeks since he made his stand, two trends became evident: first, a big surge in streaming attention as fans followed him to other services… followed by a return to the kind of numbers he had in normal times, when he was still on Spotify — but, of course, without Spotify.
