This is where things ARE so wrong .
When Dr Who and other franchises where first created it was in an almost all Male all white era .
James Bond , Superman , Batman , Fantastic Four MOST main stream supper hero's White and Male .
Now IF an Actor / Actress can play the part then let the main stream normal DO ONE and hang thire head in shame . We live in a diffrent time with a difffent set of rules and culture .
Women no longer stay at home and wait hand and foot on the Man . I am WAITING and will jump for joy when a Black , Asian , Oriental Woman OR Man gets cast in a big role known previously as being casted as white .
If recasting The Mastera as a woman is the start of this change THEN GOOD at least someone has and vision and Balls to take that disision .
