Jodie Whittaker ‘was the Doctor after five minutes’, says seventh incarnation, adding that a person of colour in the role ‘would be great’
The former Doctor Who star Sylvester McCoy has said his initial reservations about a female Doctor were due to “stupid sexism” and that he would like the role to be played next by a person of colour.
McCoy, who played the seventh incarnation of the doctor between 1987 and 1996, was quoted in 2015 as saying: “The Time Lord should never regenerate as a woman.”
