Yes thats what I meant but there has been pressure for the doctor to be a woman for a while now and it was ignored with matt smith and Capaldi so I hope this is them thinking that its now the right time rather than them caving in. At least it's not Moffatt writing for the first female doctor because much as he has grown on me his strong, badass woman trope that always seems to fall into just wouldn't work.
