When will we have a female Doctor Who? I suspect we'll have to wait at least two decades.
-
We won't, because the character is called "The Doctor", not "Doctor Who".
</pedantic>
I bet the Doctor will be a woman sometime within the next ten years. Maybe within the next two or three incarnations?

Even though it seems to be a popular speculation (among even Steven Moffat), I somehow doubt it will be any time soon. I wonder if any female actresses have tried for the part or if they themselves decided against it because of how they feel about the idea; that has never been addressed to my knowledge.
On the other hand, I think him being a dude is pretty okay any way you slice it. I mean, I'm not totally against it, but I have some doubts that anyone would be able to see it/utilize it beyond it being more of a gimmick. It would be fun/interesting to be proven wrong though. Also, don't get me wrong; I'm not against a female playing the part, and I don't have doubts that an actress would be able to do it, but there are a lot of other factors/people that would have to work out for it to be a successful move.
My phrase of the day is "I'm not against it," apparently.

Just for the fan reaction (or lack thereof), I'd like to see an elderly female Doctor. Knock the wind out of some horny teenagers' sails.

It could happen. I'm not very far into the series, but I seem to recall a scene I came across while I was researching the series before I got into it: one of the female companions somehow absorbed part of that Doctor's personality.. (I don't recall the specifics, and am not up to that point in the series yet, so don't spoil me too much if you feel compelled to explain..)

NEVER

Eh... that's sort of relevant? You'll have to see it for yourself.

I hope to see one within my next three re-generations.

Maybe the 20th. It'd be cool.

Oh.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh.
-
Any ideas on how they might work "his" wife, daughter, and grand daughter into the change? Also, how do you think they'll handle the regeneration limit?

Julie Andrews would be a good Doctor.
