I'm not going to believe they would change the fomula at all.
The dr is a MAN, must come fully equipped with a sonic screwdriver in his shorts - the girly doc would have issues with PMT and would need to get all googly over babies and such... got to love sexual steriotyping.
Imagin the doc being played by a non white actor??? why not he's just as likely to morph that way but we know this is as likely as casting a black james bond - just not going to happen and there would be screams of the show pandering to "PC" concerns if it did - or worst still them writing whole shows around racial issues where white is bad, black is good and people need to see wach other as "people"
No fatties in the doc role - hard to be an action hero if your overweight wobbling the tummy into those desperate situations puffing and panting - not to mention loosing all that sex appeal... An annorexic Doc would be just as bad as too fat
Were not going to go to an "old" Doc as we loose the possible "love" angle in any episodes - nobody wants to see young girls swooning over old men, and the "grandfather" figure will never work in the current TV society - sure jacoby was a fantastic master for the 10 seconds he was the master before they morpghed him younger.
Ugly people just dont get staring roles on TV - they can make up sidekick roles but lets face it when did you see an ugly person in the title role???
----------
The beeb will just follow the same old model of middle of the roads lets not introduce contraversial entities into the show...
Dont get me wrong, part of me would adroe to see an old black lady Dr just to spice things up - but I know its never going to happen as ultimately the Dr shouldnt be about bringing in contensious issues about gender or race or age - should just stay as it is a nice little sci fi program which in general makes you feel good to watch.
so Bog standard male heros are here to stay wether you like it or not
