Here's another question. What about a black Doctor? It seems to me that the British have a better handle on race relations then we Americans do, but there have been eleven(?) Doctors, and not a single dark-skinned one in the bunch. I don't think I've ever seen a dark-skinned Time Lord in the entire series, although I've certainly missed some episodes.

As a long time fan, I love this idea, why not? The writing of the logistics of it would be interesting as to how Time Ladies come about.. and I hope it doesnt end (which it probably will) in a gay assistant? It seems to be the only way the boys will part with their male role model?
That it would change the shape of Dr Who as we know it, is an understatement, however, if the sript calls for a woman to think like a man, or a dumb blonde cliche takes place, then Im not sure I could stomache it all over again.
HOpefully some smart and witty women writers will do it justice?
An interesting concept, idea, thought and possibility here, for sure.

Dr Who has always been renowned (first and foremost I think) for changing appearances, so why not change to a female Time Lord. But not just for the sake of it, make it a good story.
Besides anyone can be a doctor - man, woman, black, white. It's not like changing SuperMAN or BatMAN...
They could change it up each series, keep it fresh.
