Ok Moff can we have a female doctor please? And some writers who are women too, while you're at it? Ta!Let me break things down further.

- A female Doctor would be a nice change. There is now a precedent thanks to Neil Gaiman's Episode the Doctor's Wife. And if Moff is up to the challenge of writing the Doctor as a woman then I have a list of women who would make awesome Doctors. Sophie Okonedo, Julia Davis, Olivia Coleman. I don't think it will happen because I don't think anyone is brave enough to do this. When I mentioned the possibility of a female Doctor for the first time ever, I got a bit of abuse.
- Writers who are women writing Who. Since 2005 there has only been one writer who was also a woman. Helen Raynor wrote the two parter Daleks in Manhattan and since then there has been no other women writers. I would love someone like Sarah Pinborough to tackle an episode.
I don't think that Doctor Who is intentionally a boys club with a young pretty female companion but it really is beginning to look that way.
Would love to see some changes for the future.
