    The Doctor's mother is a bit of a muddle. The movie had that half-human

    as Gallifreyan.

    An older woman who appeared on Gallifrey during Capaldi's time, who
    recognized the Doctor and showed concern for him, was believed by some
    to be his mother. I think RTD said something about that, although of
    late it's best not to take RTD's pronouncements too seriously.

    I've been watching the (first) revival series (2005) discs with RTD's commentaries and BTS stuff. He was very much into "wouldn't it be cool if...." kinds of stories without too much concern for continuity or
    logic IMO.

    Yes Dave, it did.

    However, you were against the 13th Doctor from the beginning,
    because she was a woman.

    Why shouldn't he be against her because she's a woman? It's a
    perfectly valid and justifiable reason for being against her
    because the Doctor is a male character and had been that way
    for over 50 years and 13 incarnations up to that point.

    Then I'd rather people just said that, rather than pretending
    it's the "Timeless Child" storyline they were against.


    Nope. The Timeless Child storyline makes it even worse by turning the
    Doctor into a monster created from a systematically abused race and
    gender swapping child.

    Especially when the evidence from the RADW archives proves they
    were complaining here since the day Jodie Whittaker was cast as
    the 13th Doctor.

    And then the Timeless Child monster appears just as Nerdrotic predicted
    and destroys the entire franchise.

    Just as you would be against the 16th Doctor (or any other
    future Doctor) being a female.

    As should everyone.

    Not liking a female Doctor/Master is a perfectly legitimate POV
    as long as it's not dressed up as anything other than misogyny.
    As that's what it is.

    Not liking a female Doctor is not misogyny. Turning an existing male
    character into a woman is misandry and using her in order to attack men
    and create false narratives concerning them is even greater misandry.


    Doctor Who is a sci-fi based TV show, featuring an alien who
    travels in time and space. Nobody has ever said Time Lords
    cannot change their gender when their body regenerates.

    The Doctor does not change his gender when he regenerates. This was demonstrated for 13 incarnations over more than 50 years. What would
    happen if a pregnant female Time Lord regenerated into a man? It doesn't happen. The Doctor is a white heterosexual male character and that can
    never be changed without killing the entire franchise. It's a basic law
    of writing.


    It may not have been the wisest decision to make the 13th Doctor
    female but in sci-fi I don't see why it can't be done.


    No it can't. The laws of good writing dictate it can't be done in the situation of a 50 year old franchise like Doctor Who with a
    predominantly male audience and a female audience which only watches it because they want the titular protagonist to be male and only male.

    Same as being against turning the Doctor gay

    My view is The Doctor should be asexual and he/she shouldn't be
    having romantic storylines with anyone, male, female or animal!


    The Doctor is heterosexual and a grandfather. He's sowed his seed and is
    now celibate and that is the way he should have stayed.

    I don't believe that's what anyone watches "Doctor Who" for.


    It was done starting from McGann to appease a bunch of imbecilic women
    who never watched Doctor Who and who don't understand character, characterisation, or science-fiction at all and don't even watch it.

    Doctor Who must only be made for MEN. If it's written from men then
    women will watch it to because literature written only for men is always superior to literature written for women.

    or changing his racist. Changing an existing characters
    sex, race, and sexuality and expecting the audience to accept
    it and lap it up is sexist, and racist, and bigoted to the
    highest degree possible.

    But The Doctor is an alien, from another planet... if written

    Then portray him as a flying pig. Why don't you do that?

    well who is to say The Doctor (or any other Time Lord) can't
    change their sex or race? How do we know how Gallifrey biology
    works?

    IMPOSSIBLE! Turning the Doctor into a woman is implicit bad writing and therefore it can never be written well after doing that.

    The Doctor is a white British heterosexual male character and always
    must be a white British heterosexual male character. Anyone who doesn't
    like that is a sexist, a racist, and a bigot.

    She has recently said that she would love to play the role again ...
    which begs the question of why did she leave in the first place? Most

    The audience is predominately male, 98.5% heterosexual, and 85% white.
    They do not want and have never asked for a female, homosexual, or
    non-white Doctor who doesn't represent them. Why would you target the
    show at less than 0.07% of the people likely to watch it and make the
    rest not want to watch it at all? Only a disgusting, self-centred,

    The Doctor WAS PORTRAYED BY a white British heterosexual male

    I say, bring back Jodie Whittaker and give her some decent
    companions... and some decent scripts! Make the whole 14th &
    15th Doctor eras of the show a dream... you know, just like
    "Dallas".

    Bringing back Whittaker would only result in even more bad and totally horrendous writing because wokery always results in bad writing since
    the Doctor is a white British, heterosexual, male character and can't be written, characterised, or portrayed in any other way.


    and always must be a white British heterosexual male
    character.

    WHY must it always be?? Will it break some Universal Law or
    other if the Sex of a PREVIOUSLY MALE T.V. Character changes??

    It will break everyone's TV... as writing fiction that is not
    consistent with other fiction goes against the laws of
    literature... or something.

    The overwhelming audience for Doctor Who is white, British, male, and heterosexual. That's who it must always be written for otherwise it will
    not be Doctor Who and the audience will stop watching the show entierly
    as we have already seen. Wokery destroys everything it touches because
    it is the ideology of totally degenerate morons.

    Do you think she wants to come back?

    She has recently said that she would love to play the role again ...
    which begs the question of why did she leave in the first place? Most
    likely answer is that she in fact hated or was bored of the role by the
    time she left, and is simply trying to be polite so she still gets hired
    for other shows.


    She along with Chibnall were both sacked.

    I mean, it kind of does. Stories are supposed to be internally
    consistent.˙ A reboot can change sexes and races, since it's supposed
    to be a different take of the same idea. It's strange to change the
    sex of the character while the show is already running.

    It's also strange that all the Time Lords suddenly started swapping
    sexes whenever they regenerated, though it had never happened before.
    It might have been a little more palatable if it had been treated as
    the major change it was. Instead, the world was changed to make a new
    thing seem as if it weren't new.

    It was done simply to appease Politically Correct whiners and quotas.
    Same with teh change to a black and gay male.


    Exactly. The appease a bunch of spiteful self-centred sexists, racists,
    and bigots who the show never appealed to and never will no matter what changes are made.

    The thing is - and I've been in Doctor Who fandom a long time -
    I don't recall anybody ever calling for a female or black Doctor.

    Fandom has moaned about plenty of things over the years, and
    demanded many many things, in a variety of forms, but the
    request for a female/black Doctor was never top of anyone's list.

    It was something the producers decided to do because they wanted
    to do... they wanted to be seen to be trendy. Either that or the
    BBC told them to do it, as inclusivity is the 'in' thing in
    their politically correct world.

    Either way, the producers/writers should have just continued to
    write good Doctor Who stories and leave the virtue signalling at
    the door.

    I do. Back around 2008-10, many people on Outpost Gallifrey were calling
    for a black Doctor. There was a perpetual argument between those who
    wanted that and those who didn't.

    There were fewer who wanted a woman Doctor, though. Those issues get
    lumped together a lot, but they're not the same.

    Similar though, as it's all to appease a vocal political correct

    been as good as we had in the Pertwee/Tom Baker era of the show

    I could have *lived* *with* a female Doctor if there'd been some
    explanation for the swap. Instead, RTD just decided to call off the
    entire male/female division that has existed ever since C. elegans
    developed a chromosome copying error.

    I agree that the stories are what matter most. I didn't see much of
    Whittaker, but she sure seemed to be saddled with some subpar stories.

    I think once Missy arrived the writing was on the wall. A female

    fact, RTD wasn't responsible for it at all.) But there was no
    explanation when we first saw the male to female Time Lord

    She was saddled with some inept companions too.

    I was resistant to the latter until I saw Patterson Joseph in
    "Neverwhere" and I immediately thought he'd make a great Doctor.
    Apparently he was in the frame for a while but it never happened,

    Other actors of a similar background who might have worked out IMHO:
    David Ajala (stole every scene from the leads in both "Supergirl" and
    "STD")
    Abubakar Salim (Father in "Raised by Wolves" able to go from serious
    to comedic and back in an instant)
    Colin Salmon (previous DW guest star, currently out to pasture on
    EastEnders)
    David Harewood (Martian Manhunter on "Supergirl")

    However RTD would probably have written them as drippy as he did Gatwa
    who I've been assured is a good actor elsewhere.

    Never cared for the Gallifreyan gender swapping introduced in NuWho.
    If they wanted to enable a female Doctor type, they should have just
    brought Romana back from e Space and given her her own show.

    What if Joanne Lumley were the Doctor sometimes in the 1980s?

    She did eventually make it into the (definitively) non-canon "The
    Curse of Fatal Death" sketch in the mid-90s.

    Which reminds me of Lenny Henry's sketch as the Doctor in which he
    wore a brown leather raincoat over a Ruper Bear outfit, which managed
    to somehow look better than then-Doctor Colin Baker's costume AND most
    of the outfits subsequently flaunted by Gatwa.

    The people calling for Patterson Joseph to be the next Doctor were a
    minority of brainwashed idiots who didn't understand Doctor Who or the character of the Doctor. There's no way you can write a believable
    historical story for a Western audience in any part of Earth's history
    that affects them without having to explain in every single scene why
    the Doctor looks like no one else in it and why they should accept his authority or credentials, and this makes good story telling impossible.

    I'm sure the threads about the Morbius 'Doctors' or UNIT dating
    went on for much longer!

    There was never any call for a homosexual Doctor either. It would have destroyed the entire franchised, which it eventually did.


    There were fewer who wanted a woman Doctor, though. Those
    issues get lumped together a lot, but they're not the same.

    Wokery, always, always results in bad writing. The character of the
    Doctor is and can only be a white, British, male, heterosexual
    character. There nothing wrong with that since that is what the majority
    of the viewers are too. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a sexist, a
    racists, and a bigot. Any other kind of depiction is impossible to write
    well because people expect a mentor and authority figure in British
    culture and society which is what all the stories are based on to be
    white, British, male, and heterosexual. There is no way the audience can suspend their disbelief otherwise and there is no way to provided a
    believably rational explanation otherwise without ruining the story.

    We've seen what wokery is. It disgusting, divisive, and debased bigotry historically founded on the same principles as Nazism as can be deduced
    from reading George Orwell's 1984 including the Appendix which shows how Political Correctness was used by Ingsoc, the Nazi based English
    Socialist Part was used to brainwash and control the entire population
    of Oceania, ie. Britain and America.

    There is no representation in this disgraceful ideology. Instead it
    takes representation away and gives it to others who are misrepresented
    to create a false narrative. Just look at the racist director
    Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey where not one single Greek actor was
    cast to play any of the prominent roles in a work based on Greek
    historical literature and Greeks told to identify with a sub-Saharan
    African from Kenya played by an actress who is an Afrocentrist racist
    bigot who never read the Odyssey before she was cast, instead of someone
    that looks like them. Everyone knows Helen of Troy was not black so stop treating them as complete idiots.

    I do. Back around 2008-10, many people on Outpost Gallifrey were
    calling for a black Doctor. There was a perpetual argument between
    those who wanted that and those who didn't.

    I can't recall too much of that debate. Although come to think of it, I
    do recall some sort of call for Patterson Joseph to be the "next
    Doctor" once upon a time, but I don't think that was ever a major
    debate.

    Didn't 'The Doctor' suggest, some time ago, HERE, that Idris Elba was
    going to be, or should be, the next Doctor??

    https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0252961/?ref_=fn_t_1

    Idris Alba has just been reported as saying he will never play James
    Bond because people won't accept a black Bond.

    If anybody actually wanted a black spy, a female Time Lord, etc., they
    should create a *new* character. Hi-jacking existing characters simply
    to appease the Politically Correct / Equality whiners is pure stupidity
    and laziness.

    The Doctor is a white British heterosexual male character

    The Doctor *WAS* PORTRAYED BY a white British heterosexual male
    character ... until the T.V. character wasn't.

    and always must be a white British heterosexual male character.

    WHY must it always be?? Will it break some Universal Law or other if
    the Sex of a PREVIOUSLY MALE T.V. Character changes??

    Yep, the "laws" of common sense and intelligence ... but those laws
    disappeared long ago thanks to the Politically Correct / Equality
    morons.? :-(

    No. Those laws disappeared long ago .... when William Hartnell
    "regenerated" into Patrick Troughton.

    They disappeared far longer ago than that. They likely ceased to exist
    when proto-humans came down from the trees. :-(

    Now that Amazon are in charge of the James Bond franchise, they
    could cast anyone!

    They could ... but it wouldn't be sensible and would ruin yet another franchise.

    Get the correct people!

    That's just it... who you, me or anybody else here feels are
    the correct people could be entirely different to who Amazon /
    MGM feel are the correct people. (In the case of James Bond.)

    No production company can keep EVERYONE happy.

    They can keep as many people happy as possible by simply not making
    idiotic changes to the existing established facts of the franchise just
    to appease the whims of Politically Correct whiners or whater silly
    idea the new moroon in charge comes up with. They can also use some
    common sense and intellgence and NOT create so-called "reboots" that
    are a completely different product hiding behind the original's good
    name.
