I have to say I'm am stoked for this change. And it gives me great faith in Chris Chibnall as a showrunner. Someone who is willing to take something that has been around 50 plus years and change it up shows he isn't afraid to take risks. I have been a fan of DW since Nine and I say its about time we get a female doctor. I know some are hesistant and I can understand after having it be male for the entire run starting in 1963, but give it a chance, I haven't seen broadchurch or anything Jodie is done but I am excited for this. The Doctor is a alien that can regenerate to anyone, why not a female?
