It's an alien in a sci-fi show FFS ... who cares what gender it is?!?It is a daft sci-fi show that some people take too seriously... thats the same with most sci-fi but Dr Who fans in particular have a reputation for that.
FWIW ... Benjamin Butterworth got it right when he said it's basically a daft sci-fi show that some people are taking too seriously! The other guest lost the argument as soon as he insisted "Doctor Who is a children's show." Ermm, no it isn't. if it was a children's show it'd be on CBBC not BBC One!
Originally it was a children's show, but for most of its life it was shown in the family viewing slot - after Grandstand, before the Saturday night LE shows (along with Jim'll Fix It). It's always had to be watchable by older children and, as shown on the Channel 5 documentary the other night they've often had to tone it down for kids.
It's a family show, but watched by kids.... both actual kids and big kids
