While I’m open to the idea of Olly Alexander playing The Doctor, I can’t help but consider the can of worms Doctor Who might open by immediately returning to a male Doctor after having its first female.
I’m not sure if Chris Chibnall or Doctor Who’s deciders really care about fan opinions for that decision, but the next casting of The Doctor stands a good chance of either unifying or further dividing the fandom since Chibnall’s start on the show.
There will almost certainly be some that would rather the series continue its trend of female Doctors and others who believe the return to male Doctors is an admission the first female Doctor was a mistake.
