Why the next Dr has to be female


To make the next Dr male again would be the worst thing that could happen and completely undo all of the good work and the whole point of having a female doctor.

It would be akin to saying 'You've had your 5 minutes, now it's time for the men to take over again'

Stay on the progressive road and keep Dr Who female.

WRONG! Doctor Who is a male character. The Nurse Who experiment was a colossal failure that cost BBC the rights to the show.

In my opinion this era didn't work because the writing was bad. I'm not really much of a 13 fan, but the writing hindered it. Doctor who has always been political, and I hate people who throw the word woke about, but the political stuff was written badly, there where too many companions and so 13 never really got to shine and in her first series, they wrote her in a way that was too much 10/11 without giving her any bite or her own style

Oh, FUCK OFF!!! In case you hadn't noticed, the Doctor has for flamin' 13 lives been MALE, so maybe he was BORN that way!?! And before you bring Missy into this, I tend to think that whole female Master thing was just a STUPID GIMMICK to appeal to woke bastards and bitches, so why the Doctor had to fall prey to that as well is beyond me. Besides, it was probably Chibnall's idea to do that, and as of now everyone knows, Chibnall is a CUNT.

I too wasn't sure about a female doctor as the character had always been male to me but realised I was basing my views on real life humans which the doctor isn't. I also feel the show was going stale and so needed a change. I dont think Chibnal was the right person to do it though

I disagree. Especially if they continue to bring back the amazing Jo Martin and build on her story. There will be more female Doctors in the future, even if 14 isn’t.

reply

I mean ideally for me, Jo Martin would be 14, but with a new showrunner, this is highly unlikely.

sorry what good work? im left wing as hell. all this proved as casting someone based on sex not because of talent or that they fit the role is a big failure.
