Female Time Lord retrospective
In honour of Jodie Whittaker taking over the role as the Thirteenth Doctor we started to re-watch some Doctor Who stories involving female Time Lords or, at least, female Gallifreyans. We started with Susan in “The Aztecs” and we were on Rodan in “The Invasion of Time” until I took a break. But let’s get back to it.
