- Dorium's warning the Eleventh Doctor played by Matt Smith.

I first saw the show on BBC back in mid 2000s.It was Christopher Eccleston playing the Ninth Doctor.It didn't appeal to me much.

Maybe because I was immersed in heavy CGI films like Back to the Future and Star Trek since childhood.

But when David Tennant's Tenth Doctor came along,everything got more interesting.The story got richer,the acting became top-notch and so on.I think the acting of David really appealed to me.

Even though I couldn't follow the schedule of the show (mostly because I became an internet person rather than a TV one).I watched whenever I could.15 minutes here,20 minutes there....I liked it very much.

Then I found out that Matt Smith took over as "The Doctor". At first I was skeptical but then he lived up to my expectations.

Matt Smith's Doctor gave way to Peter Capaldi(?),I yet have to see how is the show is like with him.

Oh,and by the way I got the impression through the years that Doctor Who acts like a Santa Claus to his companions.

Putting that aside,I had an epiphany!

Why not the Doctor after Peter be a female one? I think it would spice the show up.Plus,it would be a good advancement for gender equality.I believe the production can do it in a way without getting sued by Nancy Drew's(look it up on the net if you are too young to know that gal) publishers.



Just wanted to do a stream of consciousness type of writing.

Have a wonderful evening,

That trailer gave me goosebumps. For the female doctor.. Honestly, it would be weird if the doctor suddenly switched genders. They just gotta make sure not the weird out everyone with that change, but if they can pull it off why not.

There are female timelords out there, it would be also awesome to see the Doctor takeing one of them as a companion.
Then ofc there would be the issue of the human counterpart.

Maybe a female doctor wouldn't work but yeah,if the doctor came across with a female time lord,that would be interesting.

Watching since the 4th Doctor and there was a female Time Lord back then (though as a villain), here name was The Rani.

I'm pretty sure a female Doctor wouldn't work, not because being a woman, but because audiences get it pretty fast when some SJW Bullshyte is shoved down their throats.
Changing the gender of popular TV or Movie characters just because of some Political Corretcness, has nothing to do with fighting for female equality. Tbh, it just shows how one dimensional the world of some SJW's really is.

Political corectness? Why not comedic purposes? Or maybe even proper sci-fi plot and feature of the character? Who said time lord must reincarnate into a completely different shape, but must retain penis or masculine voice? Dammit, he already journeys thru time in a TARDIS, and it had shapeshifting capabilities until it "broke" but in reality the tv show was poor on cash, not on ideas. Whole shapeshifting, changing theme is there. How would you like doctor to be a proper shapeshifter? Repaired TARDIS changing shapes again? Too much for a mens mind? Cool

The issue with shapeshifting TARDIS now is that the policebox has become the symbol of the show. It would be like redesigning the millenium falcon.

And for comical purpose that the doctor would become female for an episode (Because Quantum particle ram processors?) would be hilarious to see. Big smile

Well, you miss the point. The OP was talking about Quote: Why not the Doctor after Peter be a female one? I think it would spice the show up.Plus,it would be a good advancement for gender equality. End of Quote.

And that's Bs. As i said, changing the Character of an TV Show has absolutly nothing to do with advancement of gender equality.
If you want to do something for gender equality and advance it, go and do something really important! Go fight for the LGBT community or go fight for womens right to vote!
You know, there are still countries out there were women are not allowed to vote, like Saudi Arabia or Vatican City.
Go fight against that backwarded religious dimwits who think being homosexual/lesbian or transgender is a sin against god or for beginners, why not fighting against the fact that most women are not equally paid, when doing the same job as a man!
Go fight fight for the members of the LGBT community who have had been beaten the **** out of them, by some braindead teabagging neckbeard, just because they have an other sexual orientation!
Go against the death penalty for homosexual men in Iran.
Go fight for raped women, who are given the blame for beeing raped, by most muslim countries justice system.
Such things are an advancement for gender equality, but of course it's easier to whine about the gender of an TV Show character, because it's not needed to contact the real problems on this planet and someone can pat his chest " look how i fight for gender equality"style and that is BS!
To much for a internet warriors mind?

The Tardis been "broke" and therefore been not able to shapeshift, was not done because of less money, it was done just because of the fact when Doctor who started there was just no technical way to do that.
And after all those years with the "broke" TARDIS it has become a major brand. The Show is known for a blue 1950's London Police Box, repairing it and making it shapeshifitng again, would not work, there are to many Hardcore fans out there.
Remember this Show started in 1963.

The Doctor as shapeshifter wouldn't work either, the only reason to change the Doctors appearance is when he reincarnates after dying.
And tbh, why should they change the core of this TV Show just to please some monday morning quarterbacks?
They already changed to much of that show, e.g. reducing former major villains to one episode die offs.
The ideas you have, are quite good, for a new TV-Show, maybe a spin off of Doctor Who, e.g. it would be a way to bring back his daughter or reboot Torchwood.


Trivia for today: The first episode was aired in the UK, 23rd November 1963, the day JFK was shot in Dallas.

Next 12 doctors should be womans. For every man one woman. Balance in a space time continuum must be achieved. Case closed.

I LOVE Dr Who.

And I very much liked Christopher Eccelston as the Doctor. He was very dark and brooding, which makes sense because he was the Doctor after the Time War.

I'm starting to like Capaldi as the Doctor. It always takes a bit to get used to a new Doctor. I have to say though that I can't stand Danny Pink. GOSH I hope he stays dead!!
And I'm not keen on a female Doctor. It's hard enough just changing faces and personality, much less gender as well.

You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel.

Ok then,if we assume there WAS a female doctor OR another female time lady,which actress would fit in the role best? One of my options is Rebecca Hall.

Why is it harder? Did you try to accept a doctor that is a woman?
How manly is today doctor Who? How many romances he had? How many times he had sex? Doctor is a sentient being that only looks like a human. But its not a human and any actor playing it, must remember that. That is why good Doctor should always have personality that consists of many opposite traits, effect of shifting personalities. Doctor is not manly, he is not girly, he is not childish, he is a freak from human standpoint.

Here is an idea for you and the rest of SJW.
Why not create a show with leading female role? A show that would last for the next 30, 40 or even 50 years!

Why is there such a "desperate" need to eF up something that has been working since 1963.

If you think that a leading male role, multiple roles in fact, was the success behind a series, "that lasts 30, 40, or even 50 years!" you are oh so horribly wrong. All you need for running this show is not a male actor, or many of them, you need ideas, lots of them. When I watch Dr Who, I rarely feel dissapointed, not because this male is so good acting that he is stealing the whole show, its because of ideas and plot. You cant get even 1 year of show just by making the lead character male, you have to get good writers, that were also womans. Why are you not writing: "Oh no, dr Who was written by womans! Blasphemy!" already, huh?

Its hilarious statement that the show would be f up if timelord would regenerate as a human woman.

Something that was working since 1963 was not an exclusively male lead characters, but the ideas that makes plot. Even "manliness" of the doctor is disputed videly.
