Doctor Who's First Female Doctor

[Katganistan]

Just as the Harry Potter universe must be set in/alongside Great Britain, so should Doctor Who. Why? Because when we try to copy awesome UK shows here, they suck ass.

Compare the original Fawlty Towers starring John Cleese, and the copycat Fawlty Towers starring John Larroquette.

No, don't. The American version was a horrid abortion that can't compare to the original.

It doesn't work the other way round either. The Upper Hand was pretty dreadful (Who's The Boss) and the less said about The Brighton Belles the better.

I've also only seen a few episodes, but the American "The Office" was..... not good. At least it wasn't what the original was.

See?

And if they tried to do The IT Crowd here it would suck ass.

Actually, I thought the original IT Crowd sucked some ass as well..... (not a big fan).

I don't know why, but a Doctor with a southern twang would just strike me as endlessly awesome.

OR MAYBE AN AUSSIE!

The reason people don't want a woman in the role is because it flips the entire show around, changes the doctor that everyone knows.

"Changing the doctor that everyone knows" happens every few years. The only difference this time is that this one has a vagina.

[The Two Jerseys]

Now that I wouldn't tolerate. The Doctor must always have a British accent.

I fully admit that I have absolutely nothing in the way of reasoning for this.

Other than the solution to every problem becoming "Shoot It," "Outshoot It" or "Blow It Up".

Ooh yeah, let's make Troy from Swamp People the new Doctor!

"Ooh, lookit dat Dalek, he's a mean sonuvagun! Choot em! CHOOT EM!"

[Risottia]

I don't watch this, but what if an American was Doctor Who?

NO.
Companions, ok. The Doctor, no.

Not even companions. Time Lords, that's fine. Alien half-constructs, that's fine. Non-British humans, no.

How did Gracepoint turn out?

The only time Americans are allowed is when we're making jokes at their expense

I think Mr Moffat (and the other writers) worked about three or four President/Trump jokes in to the last series. Which is quite impressive, if you think about it, given when it must have been written and filmed

Why would anyone try to remake Fawlty Towers?!
