"Strevens reveals that he and Chibnall “saw a few actresses for the part,” but couldn’t stop thinking about Whittaker. “She was just so compelling,” says the EP. “In a way, it was a no-brainer. The fact that we were casting a female Doctor disappeared really quickly from our minds. We were just casting the Doctor and she felt like our Doctor.”
Chibnall says that casting Whittaker “was the easiest decision I made in my whole career.”"

You really are interpreting these articles differently to the way I am.
You see, that says to me that he auditioned actresses but Whittaker was the strongest applicant.
Not that they didn't audition anyone else and only ever considered her.
Look, I'm not saying their audition was 'open' or 'standard' or whatever. Just that they did audition, and it did play a role in their decision. Otherwise why would they bother?

No, I'm agreeing with you. :)
I might not be making it very clear though.
In a nutshell...
All I had ever seen until the article you quoted was;
-Whitaker saying she had auditioned... and that she *thought* other actress also had, but she did not know who they were.
-Chibnail saying he always wanted Whitaker in the role.
WHich to me says NO audtion, just a pre-requesite reading 'just to be sure'.
BUT - your quote brings Strevens into the equation.
Which I had not seen before.
And he does say others were seen...
So, whether it's true or not - it's two to one against... so I can only accept that! :)

Would SOMEONE please tell the BBC that they NEED to give us a start date for the new season?

Hey everyone! Remember that "leaked clip" from a few months ago?
It's not "leaked' anymore...

Well. That was interesting.
That last bit at the end wasn't exactly... understandable (click to show/hide)(The whole thing with Grace dying) but it was a nice little episode.
Enough of a hook to want to watch it again next week.
