After the announcement by Peter Capaldi that he was leaving the role of the Doctor on the hit BBC series, speculation ran rampant about who would take over when the Doctor regenerated.
While most people speculated on which actor would take over the role, a small minority of fans began to speculate on whether or not the next Doctor would be a man or a woman. After an exhaustive search, the BBC announced the next Doctor to take over the iconic role.
