Neither do I. Haven't watched it since Tom Baker.
With an eye patch.
And an asylum application.
And a Muslim obviously.
In fact if this doesn't happen we should write to the BBC and tell them how outraged we all are.
They look human and they do have the same concept of gender that we do. The only difference is to them gender doesn't matter because it can and does change with regenerations. I think they reproduce the same as us but it's something to do with exposure to space/time or some bollocks? Because in one series a few years back a human woman had the ability to regenerate because she was concieved on the tardis. But anyway as I've said in the Doctor Who thread, in the context of the show there's no reason for him not to be a woman. I think the only potential issue is, as @TheWizardOfIce said, the reasons behind it, but I don't think we'll be able to judge that until it happens. It could be that the new showrunner genuinely had a vision in mind for the character that suited a female actress, just like Steven Moffat's vision was of an older actor last time. I don't think we can accuse them of box ticking until we see how it works out. If she's perfect for the new version, then I think it's fair to say she was cast because she was best for the job. If it feels forced then you could accuse them of box ticking, but personally if the reason is anything other than creative I think it'd be more to do with the lower ratings.
As for that last bit I am assuming that was sarcasm? It's one thing to say things have gone too far now, it's another to wish to regress back to when the National Front were in their prime and sexism that today you'd think was a Partridge esque piss take but back then was just harmless fun. And that's just over here. I was always crap at history but if you go back to the 60s in America weren't the Civil Rights movement still fighting for desegregation for a lot of that decade? If you were being sarcastic then sorry for overreacting but if not, come on. We're much better off now. Again I'd like to quote the brilliant Stewart Lee bit on political correctness, "there are problems with it, but it's better than what we used to have".
Surely it's not PC to condone such behaviour against non female beings? Why not have a woman assistant who people can laugh at for being a 'dumb blonde' or suchlike?
I do not recall a dumb blonde assistent in the series, even if the fatherlike figure of the first Doctor could be quite patronizing towards the females in the cast.
You obviously haven't read a post from Stag before
Okay then, so we've got a person of origin, visually and physical impaired, member of the LGBT community, who is responsible for the welfare of seven junior members of society, of whom the sperm donors are persons unknown. This person subscribes to the Muslim faith. She (is that the correct term?) is a British citizen for whom English is a secondary language.
If I may, could I also suggest that she has her roots in an unspecified country within the EU and is reformed terrorist sympathiser? This would serve to shine a positive light on the EU and the Governments anti radicalisation programme. The former being of particular importance to the BBC during this period of Brexit.
How could the programme makers possibly reject such a synopsis?
BTW, How long will it be before Mrs Dr Who crashes the Tardis? I believe it uses some form of auto pilot, yet mistakes are bound to be made while Mrs Dr Who is programming the co-ordinates while applying her makeup? This, I suppose, could lead to a series of hilarious escapades.
Time to rewrite history to show them as lovable rouges ......... Sounds silly but could happen.
Don't give them any ideas!
Yes, and in the new Battlefront (Lucasfilm) game there is a black female member of the Empire, but I thought the Empire were like the space Nazis and the Rebellion was made up of all different creeds from around the galaxy? Doesn't make sense for the Empire to be inclusive.
I don't identify as a male, I identify as a Tangerine. I am very distressed at the Tangerineist attitude in the media. There needs to be more fruit based diversity. Apples and Banannas get all of the plumb roles.

Surely all the plumb roles go to plums?
My late father was at Dunkirk. In fact he was one of the last to escape from the beaches. I can't help but wonder what his reaction to this story (and indeed the film) would be? I know he was no fan of the original Dunkirk film.
Plumbs used to get those roles, but now Apples and Oranges get 'em instead. It's apple washing gone mad.

Ah, I see. I hope people don't think I was being fruitist with my suggestion about plums. I like all fruit equally (even grapefruit!)
