The Day of the Doctor gave us our first diagetic glimpse of the next actor to portray The Doctor. The casting of Peter Capaldi was widely praised among those who didn’t conclude that this time, it was a crime against humanity that they hadn’t hired a woman.

I don’t entirely disagree, but personally, I think they coulda made it work if they’d decided to have the Doctor keep regenerating younger…
He’s got the look. He’s got the moves…
Plus, now that Night of the Doctor has canonized the Big Finish companions, maybe we can bring Frobisher back…
