I read an interesting interview with Peter Davison (ex Dr Who star) who was asked whether a female could ever play the iconic role.
For those that don't know. Time lord. Show has been around for about 50 years. The character can regenerate, which means every time an actor gets bored they get a new one.
The character has always been male.
What I found interesting was this comment when asked if the part could be played by a woman
I would go further and say that there would be uproar from certain sectors of the feminist community.
Are there certain situations that are now no go areas depending on gender?

"What you have at the moment is a slightly vulnerable, fallible Doctor, who is not really quite sure if he is doing the right thing, and to assist him a very strong female companion, who invariably gets him out of trouble and usually ends up majorly helping with the resolution of the story," says Davison. "If you reverse that and you had the female Doctor, you'd have a female Doctor who was not quite sure, slightly fallible, and a very strong male companion. Now that seems to me a stereotype you don't want to encourage, the strong male who helps the woman out all the time." |
