![]() The previous few Doctors, played by Peter Capaldi (Twelfth Doctor), Matt Smith (Eleventh Doctor), David Tennant (Tenth Doctor), have all been well-rounded characters with layers and depth. The Thirteenth Doctor, however, was barely developed beyond being quirky, with Chibnall being so immersed in exploring the history and lore of Classic Doctor Who that he failed to give nearly as much attention to exploring Whittaker's character. Most disappointing, though, is the way in which Chibnall failed Whittaker's female Doctor. The past few years under Chibnall's direction have seen groundbreaking strides, such as Doctor Who casting its first female Doctor in Jodie Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor, but also plagued with head-scratching decisions, namely the much-maligned "Timeless Child" arc. Now that the Chris Chibnall era of Doctor Who is coming to a close, the need for a female showrunner for the long-running series is clearer than ever. Since taking over the role from Steven Moffat, Chibnall's time as showrunner of the beloved show has been controversial, to say the least.
