Nope, this is the most welcoming they've ever indicated for a female Doctor.

Color me impressed, surprised, and excited.

<spoiler>Jodie Whitaker best known for playing Beth Latimer in Broadchurch. Given the new show runner is from the Broadchurch production crew, I'd suspected (and said previously) that if he had any say over who the next Doctor is that he may well (or may not) have been inclined to bring someone on board whom he'd worked with previously. (Along this line, I actually thought Olivia Coleman might be a surprise choice.)</spoiler>
Of course it's just speculation and we'll know tonight but just thought it was an interesting development. It's rare the odds on favourite changes overnight for these things.

Not saying I called it but I think mine was the first post to mention her name... What? Let me clutch my straws goddamit!
Have to say, I am relieved it isn't Kris Marshall. Nothing against the guy, I'm just not a fan of dead-eye acting. (He was terrible in Death In Paradise...)

I haven't seen her in anything before, the same was true with Eccleston and Smith. I was familiar with Capaldi from the couple of episodes with him as the hilarious Malcom Tucker I saw, and of course David Tennant was in Goblet of Fire (although only a bit part and not enough for me to judge him on).
I'm pretty sure The Chibs wanted a reliable person he had worked with before, and I seriously doubt political correctness had anything to do with it, but I'm sure people will whine about it regardless.
On an unrelated note, we do have our first blond Doctor since Davidson.
