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.

So there's been more Doctors than Bonds, eh?

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.

Who?

What's next, Jane Bond?
