There's no need to make it a female. PC has gone mad nowadays.

Please don't assume you speak on behalf of everyone who's watched it since before 2005. I watched the reveal with some members of my family- from 17 to 70 years old- and nobody seemed to mind the casting.

For what it's worth, I am absolutely delighted with the decision. It's really exciting and will really make the show seem fresh. Jodie Whittiker is a phenomonal actress and here's hoping she makes a great thirteenth Doctor.
