Similar to Dr Who fandom now. At a con I attended in February, one of the series bigwigs told those of us who have a problem with casting a female as the doctor to “get over it”. In the last few years they’ve had a Master change into a Mistress, one gay (or at least bi) male character, and three lesbians. I predict The Doctor will never be a white male again.
They could have given The Doctor’s daughter a series.
