Q: I believe you indicated that you stopped by rec.arts.drwho from time to time. If so, by now you have probably noticed a long string of messages concerning the concept of a female Doctor. Assuming Fox gives a green light to a new series, is there any possibility that a future Doctor may be female? If so, how do you believe such a change should be handled? - 4/8/96

Phil: Just thinking about a female doctor takes my breath away. I would love it! However, I'm not entirely sure the world is ready for that. Let's see what happens to the one we've got. :-) Speculation was never my strong suit.
