I saw that earlier, a female Doctor at last!
I loved Dr Who as a lad, Jon Pertwee was my favourite. Lost interest after Peter Davison, then picked it up again when Christopher Eccleston was the Doc.
David Tennant was good but the stories seemed to get quite unfathomable when Matt Smith took over, and I haven't watched it since.

I think a lot of this was down to the change of head-writer/executive producer mate. Russell T Davies was in charge for most of the Ecclestone/Tennant period, and was succeeded by Steven Moffat for the Smith/Capaldi era. Maybe the unfathomable bent Moffat brought to the series is understandable when one realises he also writes Sherlock scripts. I'm reliably informed that Moffat is retiring from Doctor Who at the same time as Capaldi, so there is hop that we might get back to slightly less complicated plotlines.

That would go some way to explaining it. I was utterly mystified by the last episode of Sherlock, no idea what had happened, at all.
Would be nice if Mark Gatiss did more of the writing, I like his Gothic style, especially the M R James adaptations he's done.

Whenever I see a list of Doctor Who actors, they always omit Peter Cushing.

Indeed, he was excellent in both movies, and I think he would have made a great choice as a fully-fledged 'TV' Doctor. The only downside for me was the scenery-chewing over-acting of Roy Castle in the first film.

The movies weren't up to much - to put it midly - and are best forgotten or, if you've never seen them, ignored altogether.
I grew up with the Pertwee Doctor, though the plots eventually bored me because after a while it was nearly always the Doctor, stuck on Earth, versus the Master and I drifted away from the series. Though some of the Pertwee storylines were in the same league as the Quatermass TV programmes. Another sci-fi series spoiled, or at least misunderstood, by the movie industry when they removed much of the British character and context and imported an American Quatermass for no apparent reason other than the hope that would appeal more to US audiences.
The relaunched series from Ecclestone onwards has been pretty good, though there's a too frequent change of Doctors for my liking. As for a female Doctor, that's fine with me.

I wasn't much of a Dr Who watcher until the Tennant/Smith/Capaldi era but mostly because of Jenna Coleman. I loved Clara! Once she was killed off I lost interest.
Isn't a female doctor kind of sacrilege?

A raging discussion of this on Keyboard Central Forum....
But as one wag there put it,, the Doctor is a ALIEN whom reincarnates as a new doctor, so if indeed "it" is Alien, then it may choose the gender desired...
OTOH, too much PC krap on BBC

Somewhere along the line they turned the sonic screwdriver from a tool for opening things into Harry Potter's magic wand.
