The BBC released a 1 minute trailer after the men's Wimbledon final and broadcast it on social media. It is characterized by a mysterious person wearing a headscarf walking through the forest and finally arriving at Tardis, an iconic blue telephone booth for doctors who travel through time and space, putting down the hood to reveal her face.

The decision to portray a woman as the 13 doctor originated from Chris Chibner, the new screenwriter and executive producer of the play, who "always knew" that he would be the next doctor. In his statement, he said that a woman is a doctor.

The storyline has previously hinted that a time Lord may be reborn as a man or a woman. The End of Time: Part II In 20 10, the new doctor (matt smith) mistook himself for a woman for the first time.

This is also the role that Doctor Who (Michelle Gomez) often plays. She first appeared as the Time Lord in 20 14 Deep Breath. She is the latest incarnation of the doctor's oldest friend and opponent. In the past, male time lords were called masters.

However, not all fans of Doctor Who are ecstatic about the new direction of the program. On YouTube, this trailer has been liked by nearly 9,000 people and disliked by about 5,000 people. Although some commentators claimed that this was an "interesting experiment" and thought that putting an actress in this role would "bring vitality to the program", others claimed that the program was "officially ruined", saying that it was "the worst thing the BBC could do" and "the BBC is instilling equality in us".

The BBC is not the only company that has overcome the resistance of different representation in leadership roles-in the United States, experts are examining procrastination in the entertainment industry from the perspective of actor diversity and inclusiveness. There is still a long way to go for women to have the same frequency as men.

Women play leading roles in 42% TV and digital programs, but they lag far behind in movies. In the movie, they only play the leading role of 27%.

It is a well-known and popular program, such as Doctor Who. Whitaker said in a BBC statement: "Molding doctors into women conveys an important message, that is, even iconic figures do not prohibit actors who may not be considered to play them in the past. This is a very exciting moment, and' doctor' represents all exciting changes. "Whitaker said that fans have experienced so many changes, which is just a new and different change, not a terrible change.
