Could they have picked a more "exciting" woman to play the part? Probably. Is it weird to get upset now about "safe" BBC casting decisions in a BBC show thats had fifty years plus of "safe" casting decisions? Definitely.
I think it probably is the same for music. From the point of view of developing an interest in music young girls will identify more with female musicians.
Apologies!
While I grew up with Pertwee and Baker my favourite Doctor Who was actually John Hurt... Would loved to have seen a whole series with him R.I.P....

Unless you're talking about a female James Bond who goes around seducing men. That could be interesting...
It's odd how weakass this is but ok:
Let's start with Dr Who being a fictional character who regenerates in to a different form every few years.
Queen Victoria was a real person. I think that about covers that one.
Freeman as Baracus? Entirely doable - look at BSG. Retain the character traits that are important to the plot and if the actor has the ability, yes.
I had to google the last one but it seems that's already a thing. I don't get the joke.
And as for this:
"It's not sexist to think certain roles are inappropriate for women, just as certain roles are inappropriate for men. I don't want a bloke playing Miss Marple any more than I relish the prospect of a woman playing ol' Doc. I'm applying the same rule to both genders, so...how does that make me sexist, exactly?"
If you can't hear what's wrong with that then you're a lot less intelligent that I ever gave you credit for. (clue: it's the very definition of sexism lol)
Craig's Bond was massively different to the camp Bond of yesteryear - and his films are generally quite good... stuff can change and still be good.
I'm more concerned about the lack of Mary Berry on Bake-Off...
Definition of sexism: "prejudice or discrimination based on a person's sex or gender". I think what you're talking about is the pop-culture definition, whereby it only applies to discrimination against women...which in itself is discrimination.
There is absolutely no discrimination in what I said - applying the same rule to both genders, which (since you brought it up) is the very definition of gender equality. Don't let that get in the way of your laughter, though.
No, that's just being sexist twice to 2 different groups.
Does this mean that Sambostar is not the next doctor? WTF?
I mean, he's weird enough, and is almost certainly a time-traveler.
Wow, that's some world-class word-twisting you've got going on there. Everywhere else in the world, that's considered equality.
