Doctor Who Won't Return Until 2020 (bbc.co.uk)
AmiMoJo quotes the BBC: The next series of Doctor Who won't start until 2020, it's been confirmed. Series 11 ended on Sunday night, but after the festive special on New Year's Day, Jodie Whittaker won't be seen in the Tardis again next year.
Showrunner Chris Chibnall said work on the new series had already begun... The first episode of the series, the first to feature a female Doctor, drew a record audience. It saw the highest launch viewing figures for the sci-fi stalwart in a decade, with 10.9 million people tuning in. The series has been considered a ratings success, with viewing figures above those of the last two series when Peter Capaldi starred in the title role.

Rlwrotong is a perfectly crapulent word.
Strange hills to die on, since Dr. Who has had male companions since 1969 and The Doctor is an alien species who has regenerated his identities seemingly at random: the fact that Time Lords can change gender during regeneration was established at least 7 years ago with The Corsair (as written by Neil Gaiman, not Moffett).
But if this gender stuff really bothers you, you'll see it everywhere.

I've watched every episode since the late 1970s, but I couldn't bring myself to watch this series. The BBC are ruining everything. Every program these days has to have a man swapped with a woman, half the cast gay, lesbians, black, etc. It's totally ridiculous. If they made a new show (like they did with the Sarah Jane Adventures, which I loved), then I'd watch it, but the Doctor is a male character. I won't put up with this crap any more.
