“Quiet please!” commanded the first Wise Man.
The other two finished their conversation and turned their attention to the first one.
“Right. Down to business.”
The other two looked expectantly at the first Wise Man.
“Reports indicate that far more people are concerned with this 50th Anniversary of a TV show than the forthcoming birthday of the Son of God.”
“Frankly, I find that show rather silly. I always have,” commented one of the other two.
“Even so it is very popular. We have to do something to make it unpopular.”
“Why? Lots of people on Earth like it. It is harmless fun,” said the third wise man.
“Nonetheless, instructions have come from ‘he who must be obeyed’ are for us to put a spanner in its worldwide popularity.”
There was a general nodding of their collective heads.
“Any ideas?”
There was stony silence.
Five days later, they were still sitting there thinking hard when the most junior of the trio started to smile.
“How… Nah…. It won’t work.”
“What is your idea? Don’t worry about it being rather silly. We’ve been here for days trying to think of something. So far we have come up with nothing.”
The other two looked at him earnestly.
“Well, there is always a special show broadcast on our Lord’s Birthday. This year, I understand it will involve what they call a re-generation. This is where one actor morphs into their replacement.”
“Yes.”
“Well, I was thinking that we could interfere with the process a little bit.”
“The show does not go out live you know! It was probably recorded last summer,”
“Yes but I am sure that you know who will let us mess around with it just this once.”
“I don’t know about that. I’d have to clear it with ‘him’ first. What sort of messing did you have in mind?”
“Well, I was thinking that every ‘Doctor’ for the past 50 years has been male. Why not…”
“Stop right there. ‘He’ won’t like a woman getting the job. You know how he feels about Women Bishops…”
“I wasn’t thinking of going that far. More like making the new Doctor start wearing women’s clothes.”
“You mean make him a Transsexual?”
“Yes. As the episodes go on, he becomes more and more effeminate and more… what the word… vampish. He can use his high heels instead of that think he calls a ‘sonic screwdriver’.”
“Well. We have not had an other ideas,” said the headman.
“I will put it to him upstairs. He won't like it but... we have to do something.”
[The end]
Stay tuned for the 25th… Only joking. This is a bit of fun nothing more.
I wrote this just a few minutes before the 50th Anniversary episode was broadcast worldwide. I can remember the first ever one just a day after Pres. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, I was 10 years old.

COMMENT REDACTED BY ORDER OF U.N.I.T.
Well shit, I guess it really CAN happen here..,
.
*vroop*
*goes back in time to read comment before redaction, is shocked by it's details*
Don't you mean TORCHWOOD? Now
Don't you mean TORCHWOOD? Now Cap'n Jack Harkness becoming the Doctor would be interesting if he was to play his real self.
but well remembered about UNIT ...
Don't you mean TORCHWOOD? Now

Doctor Who
25 Minutes and Counting.
Should be an Interesting Episode.
There was an interesting drama on Thursday about the creation of the series. :D
Very interesting. :D
It has been a year
It has been a year building up to this episode. I am on the other side of the world and will watch it at the same time as those in England. May we all take joy in what we see.
As for a Transgender or CrossDressing Doctor, now that would put a twist in things (or at least a bow on top).

I was Twenty-One and the day JFK was killed was also the date of my Mothers Birthday and that's all the comment I'm going to make!

Crossdressing on Other Planets
It would surprise these macho Turks and such to learn that on
many worlds the Fez is considered strictly a feminine garment.
This is what the 11th Doctor thought was so "cool" about them,
and why he was always so ambivalent about putting one on,
or only wore it briefly before chickening out.
Amy and Rory could have been a little more supportive,
instead of always snatching it off his head in embarrassment.
And Clara, there was some potential there for pangalactic crossdressing fun
but alas, he got himself killed again before he got a chance to confess his fez fetish to her.
I'm still holding out for a female Doctor, if not as the show's star then a recurring guest,
a "future self" who pops in from time to time to help out + drop hints about the lives ahead of him.
In my probably-to-never-be-written story BIG TROUBLE IN THAMESMEAD she first appears as a
wacky annoying redheaded neighbor who barges into his flat unannounced, insists on calling him
by his first name "The" and seems to be more in the way than anything as he faces cybermen,
an Ood who has attached himself to him weeping angels and a retired Sontarian general who has
declared war first on the local McDonalds and then on all of Scotland and has found an alien bomb
in the ruins of Torchwood London to help his one man war. At the last minute Wacky Neighbor Lady
proposes a solution that'll take care of all three menaces at once (the Ood isn't exactly a menace...).
When he marvels at how she managed this she reveals, "I'm you, ya silly git!"
Before popping into a pink TARDIS of a slightly different design and leaving him standing there,
excited to realize that some day he will actually find himself in the form he'd always coveted-
"My God!" he exults, "I'm going to be a GINGER!"
~hugs, Veronica
Oh, and his solution created a weird electrical storm that left a bunch of young ABSO offenders in orange jumpsuits who had been sentenced to clean up the place with various sorts superpowers.
tying the story in with the series MISFITS (hence the Thamesmeade Estate location)
Well shit, I guess it really CAN happen here..,

Actually Laika
I would like to see that! :) Just as one Ginger to another you understand. (I prefer redhead since I don't care much for the spice.)

on the subject of a female doctor
While I am not an expert on all things Whovian, Didn't River Song give up one of her own regens to save the Doctor? Would that be enough to introduce the possibility of a female Doctor? and didn't 11 kind of hint at the possibility of being female after he regenned from Tennant? Any true Whoviuans out there that can help me out here? And hey, at least he's not a ginger :P
Diana
ps When will the secret of today's episode be out enough to discuss it?
She used all her remaining
She used all her remaining regens. So it may a possibility after Peter Capaldi.
As to the Day of the Doctor. I just wish I had the money and the room for that last scene to be hung on my wall. All thirteen Doctors shown in a wide-screen shot...
Dr What?
...Is what it would become. I had to chuckle. I've been a fan of the Doctor for a lot of years now, though we are half a world away. And it's still televised on the same network(our equivalent of the BBC)
Joanna
Dear doctor,
looks like this year, you and your screwdriver are to be screwed... XDD
On subject of female doctor - I think this it would nice, especially her interaction with... well I wonder now, what would be more interesting - female doctor with fangirl sidekick or fanboy sidekick?
The Doctor
Well looking back on these comments, who would have thought the Master would be the one doing the gender bending. (Who indeed)
Who's Next
{their best album IMHO}
But who will be next to wield the sonic screwdriver and control the Tardis?
I'm sure that we
"Won't get fooled again..."

Samantha.
Well, as we now know
The Doctor is female now too. They lost a lot of die hard fans when they did that. Just look at all the complaints on the internet where the fans are complaining bitterly about how the show was ruined.
On the other hand they got so many new fans that the popularity of the show shot through the roof.
No cross dressing yet though. But who knows what the future will bring?
What's the sound?
Love, Andrea Lena
Uhhh...
Wait...! What...?
