It’s this guy or nothing .. I have very poor imagination so the idea of someone changing into someone else is a non starter .

I would imagine bringing that actor back from the dead would be a bigger problem for your imagination.

I have zero issue with a gay actor playing the Doctor but one that could actually act would be nice.

The issue isn’t that they cast a woman or even that the writing was “bad” per se - some of it was fine - the issue is that they dumbed it down. They dumbed down the character (which makes no sense and also, doing it for the first female doctor is obviously a ridiculous call) and dumbed down the show in general, so think to try to go back to appealing to a younger audience, which is no longer interested in broadcast television. It had a younger audience of kids, teens and young adults in 2005. That audience is now in their 20’s to 40’s. If anything they’d get a better response by exploring some MORE mature themes, not by going back to CBBC style.



On the thread topic though… there is ample evidence that The Doctor/time lords are both sexless and without sexual preference. Tad they’ve only shown male doctors with an interest in females “openly” that’s true… but there were plenty of indications that all of the male doctors of the modern era (Eccleson, Tennant, Smith, Capaldi) were much like Flasher Jack Harkness - “omnisexual” (men, women, aliens, whatever).

So when people say he’d be the first “gay” Doctor… I suspect they mean he’d be the first doctor in an an unambiguously gay relationship, or the first played by a gay actor.

I mean it’s not like Tennant and Smith were exactly butch .

I think of all the doctors going right back to the beginning, eccleston is the most "butch" of them all and even then he wasn't really butch at all . They have never done a hunky doctor ... the dominant feature was always supposed to be intelligence
