Over sixty years for one TV series! Amazing!

I didn't watch every series, mainly because either life got in the way, or I didn't like a couple of the actors playing the Doctor as much as previous actors. (Faves are William Hartnell, Tom Baker, Matt Smith, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Peter Capaldi. I haven't seen the series with Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor.)

I admit, apart from watching the Rosa Parkes story with Jodie Whittaker as the Doctor, I didn't watch the others in that series. Personally, even though I absolutely support equality, I thought it was pushing the story concept too far for the Doctor to suddenly turn into a woman. There have been so many strong female characters over the entire show. Changing the Doctor to a woman? Yeah? Nah! But that's just my opinion. Disagree if you wish.
