In an effort to try and control spoilers and leaked info, today the BBC announced who'll be playing the Doctor in Season 11 of Doctor Who.

Are you done with Doctor Who now? No more poster updates?

Call me out of touch or a dinosaur if you want, but I just don't care for the idea of the Doctor turning into a woman. Oddly enough, I have no problem with the concept of a female lead though. If the producers felt the show needed a woman as the main character, then I wish they'd have sent the Doctor off on a mission and brought in his daughter Jenny to take over for a while. Even better, create a NEW Time Lady to fill in for him. I'd have been completely on board with that.
I doubt there will be any poster updates either. Mainly because there's just no more room to cram another character on the page, unless I start eliminating the fact boxes, which was the point of the whole infographic.
