Which is why I've voted for him.
There have been many excellent actors who've successfully played the role. Ranging from Jon Pertwee to Matt Smith.
But as for the next doctor. I have to admit I don't know if this is anything to do with the BBC's obsession with it's LGBT/PC agenda or whether it's simply a case of inspired genius. Only time will tell.
As previously stated, I have no objections to Jodie Whittaker as the next Doctor and I would like to hope her selection is partly due to a case of inspired genius (for example I'm hoping the Thirteenth Doctor reunites with Captain Jack Harkness - can you imagine Jack's reaction? ).

But if the Thirteenth Doctor turns out to be just a case of the BBC pushing a PC agenda, with stories that fail to live up to such a momentous character development, then I will be just as cheesed-off as the other critics on this thread at the Beeb for sacrificing a classic Sci-F icon at the SJW altar, and "Auntie" will (deservedly) find itself deep in the brown smelly stuff.
