That old!) and I was prepared to judge the newest series on the merits of the storylines. We had already been prepared for changes of gender among Timelords anyway, the most obvious being the Master’s change to Missy. The first episode of the new series was shown at my local cinema on the same night as it was on TV, so I went and watched, and guess what? It was still the Doctor! And I’ve loved the new season, especially the historical episodes. The Doctor has to cope with some issues that were never a problem “when I was a bloke.” She is charming and funny and kind. I do miss Peter Capaldi, but she is a very good replacement and I adore her companions, the first I remember whom the Doctor has trusted to carry out jobs they are capable of doing instead of following her. <br /><br />I am not familiar with any of the actors you mention except Eddie Redmayne, but I do agree he might make an interesting Doctor in a Peter Davison style...<br /><br />PS Welcome back to blogging!
