| Poll: Should there ever be a female Doctor? |

|
| No. Changing his gender would change something central about the character. |

| Yes. It would be awesome and fun. |

| Who cares? Doctor Who is just sentimental pseudo-sci-fi drivel. It no longer has any sociopolitical relevance. Let it die in peace. |

So the Whovian Doctor regenerates after being lazered with an explosive space AIDS gun, and it turns out that this time he's a woman. Which actress should play her and why?
Natalia Tena would be my #1 choice. She has a great chaotic energy. I can picture her as the sort of Doctor that does not suffer fools gently; someone you wouldn't want to be on the other end of an argument with, because she is so grounded and driven. She'd kick evil's ass and have fun doing it. She could be trustworthy, authoritative, clever, intimidating, emotionally vulnerable and alien all at once.

I'd rather see a black or Hispanic Doctor first. I don't mind the idea of a female Doctor, but I think it would be weird for a while seeing a male character switch like that.
But I'd love to see a Doctor that's not a white guy.

It's too late now. If the second or third doctor had been a woman, it would have been fine, but now there's been 12 in a row that have been male. Now, the odds of that happening and the doctor not being inherently male are 4095 to 1. They'd have to explain it beyond basic hand-waving.
As to a non-white Doctor, I'd have no problem with that, as long as he's still British.

Plausibility - the cornerstone of Doctor Who since 1963.

I don't watch Dr Who but yes. It'd be like Orlando. Needs to happen.

Sometimes gender can be integral to who a fictional character is and how they act, I don't think that applies so much here though. I mean a female James Bond would be absurd but I don't think a female Dr Who requires much of a change of character at all, so why not.
