Although I like the idea of changing the Doctor’s gender, I’d say that adt1957 has a point, in that I’d say a lot of fans would have an issue with it. I would think that there’d be a lot of opposition as people are so used to the Doctor being a man. If they were to change the Doctor to a woman they’d have to be very careful about who they chose, because if the individual turned out to not be very good, then people who opposed the change in the first place would become even more opposed to the alteration in gender. Also, as a matter of interest, has the Doctor ever been talked about being with a man?

@midnyt Thanks for that! I guess I miss a lot of the backstory when I have only watched the recent seasons. I do love DW and I would like to know the whole story, it’s just there are so many episodes and I don’t have the time to watch them all.

Can I ask a question? First off, I have only watched Doctor Who from its reboot in 2005 so I therefore have only seen four Doctors. I am aware that the Doctor’s personality varies after each change but the new, Peter Capaldi Doctor, seems to be quite different at the core level. One of the key aspects of the Doctor appears to be a hate of violence and tries to save every life he can with great care, but in the latest episode (Into the Dalek) he seems to care a lot less and makes quick decisions with the lives surrounding him. The cynicism seems totally out of place with his character. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy the new Doctor (I like the wit and such) but his personality seems to have changed so much.  Does anyone else agree with me? Do others, who have watched DW from the beginning, have any insights? My favourite Doctor is Matt Smith by the way. I guess I just loved his quirkiness!
