13th Doctor to be a woman!

Rowen Atkinson? Ok whatever. Right, I'm gonna be a little controversial here so if easily offended turn away now.....

First a gay companion and now a female doctor. I get the feeling that to go with the current obsession with tv bosses of covering all things LGBT that this is a change to appeal to the 'minority' as they see it. Political correctness gone mad. So what if the doctor has always been a man. He's never been black either. In fact he's always been portrayed as British so maybe that should change too?

I'm probably being more than a little cynical but the doctor has always been a male role and sometimes tradition has a place too.

You're right, the BBC admits its pushing diversity over all its media channels, hence the female doctor. That doesn't mean she won't be awesome at it
