Don't know her range, but she has a talent for arching an eyebrow just right.
I'll give her a chance.

Surprised shes attractive, white & blond and not an mixed race woman in a wheelchair.
EDIT: having never watched a single episode, not even a 30 second commercial, so I dont get the allure... but some of the comments??? Over a TV show?
>> I really think that if it had been another white guy there would have been all out revolt. It had to be a woman or POC and I am here for it
>> I watched the clip and when she was revealed I felt the tears come down - they were tears of pure unbridled happiness that I didn’t expect but readily welcome as another glass ceiling is shattered. I am a 33-year-old male and I reacted this way and I cannot but imagine what this will mean to young women. (really? casting a woman in a lead role is shattering a glass cleiling? has he never watched TV?)
Several more stating this will "empower women everywhere"

Are they going to be brave enough to reincarnate into a woman?

Ha! There's some buzz that the reveal being billed as after Wimbledon's 'Mens' Final' is a hint that the new Doctor will be a woman.
I love the interwebs.

Yes.
The history of the show has women frequently put into roles where all that they do is ask stupid leading questions to prompt exposition or they're helpless and scream a lot. (Not always the case. There have been some very good female "companions" on the show including a government-scientists and a (usually) gritty investigative reporter. But there have been more "downs" than "ups" in respect of women's representation in the show... Bonnie Langford representing the nadir. Sometimes it seemed that all the poor woman got to do was scream and whine.)
On top of that, the previous show-runners have made some very misogynist-statements.
So, this is progress.

So progress for this specific show.
But not for "lead women in TV series roles"....

Wait till River Song hears about this.
I'm envisioning a scene that will never be filmed by the BBC...

Some may feel half a Doctor is better than none, I'd say you can't be just a little bit Doctor.Quote

Well, in actuality, I think that we've already had a female Doctor. Donna Noble (my favorite companion by a long shot), in "The Two Doctors Become Three! - Journey's End" became a part human, part timelord clone of The Doctor.

If the Doctor can change appearance and personality and taste in clothes, I see nothing to prevent the Doctor from changing gender. I think Time Lords can technically become anything they like but this one obviously likes being a human.
