dont you know a penis is required for time travel?
Not to nitpick, but there's a Japanese film that has a woman warrior go back in time, and didn't Gloria Reuben do the same in Time Cop?
Now that I think about it, I've come across examples in the 1950s radio shows (based on scifi pulp at the time). "The Old Die Rich" probably has a woman traveler, and there's another one that springs to mind with the plot of a couple escaping in time, and hunted down.
IF DW decides to shake things up this way, I wonder what the over/under is on the number of epis is to deem it a success, failure, or an avoidable suicide?
Nah, if it doesn't fly, they'll probably pull a "Dallas"...

I’ll watch IF AND ONLY IF a new regenerated female DW has the appearance of Amy Pond...Or a regenerated female DW is hot and Amy Pond returns as her....assistant....complete with ...tension of a...se....
Oh never mind. I must go look for pics of Amy...

This creates a strong implication that the Time Lords themselves are descended from human time travelers "Planet of the Dead"
Christina: "You look human."
The Doctor: "No, you look Time Lord. We came first."

For me, it seems wrong not to have a female doc. Their is an inherent randomness to the character's regeneration. I'd truly be appalled by a female Sherlock Holmes or babe James Bond - because those characters are the story, their maleness is inherent to the story, and they are set in stone. Changing them is telling a different story; and means the writer is just cashing in off of someone else's creativity - usually a good sign they lack their own. Probably will not turn out well.

In the case of a female doctor, since Im older, Id prefer a smoulderingly sexy older female versus some photospread teenybopper hottie. River, an updated older Emma Peele, or more mature woman....
Now we are talking...:^)

The curse of the fatal death also had a female Doctor, but for comedic effect...
I want Rowan Atkinson as the doctor before he gets too old, or at least a role as a timelord!

The Doctor: "No, you look Time Lord. We came first." This assumes The Doctor knows the true origins of the Time Lords.

If there is a female Doctor, she would have to be ginger. One of the firsts thing the latest Doctor did when he regenerated was try to get a look at his hair. His comment was "Still not ginger!"

Someone mention the real Doctor?

A clay model my mother made (I need to take a better photo of it). She knitted the scarf by counting rows on a photo from a Sci-Fi magazine and took it to a mini-con where Baker was speaking and got him to sign it. (Yes, that is Bender in the corner)

I kinda like the gal that was the flight teacher from Harry potter, she would have made a great mature woman doctor...
Also I think river could make a great doctor provided she gets ressurected from being stuck in that planet sized library computer... And she inheretis the “Katra” from the doctor...

Hear here! ... Although, Alex would be a nice Who to watch every week, I must say. As to the PC, the homo writer worked in homo attraction with Captain Jack, so the series has suffered foolishness already. Matt is doing a great job, however.

Rowen has already done a comedic stint as DW. I want to see Sean Connery in an episode or three, before he becomes too old.
