Chibnall: Not Casting A Female Dr Would’ve Left Show Behind World
New Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall has explained his decision to make the Thirteenth Doctor female.

He continues: “I think if the show hadn’t done it, we would have been behind the world, and Doctor Who has got to be out front leading the world, and being a great example of all the amazing things that are in the world. So, it wasn’t even a question in my mind.”
The magazine also unveils three photo stills from Series 11 showing the new TARDIS crew together:
