* The inclusion of a woman as the Thirteenth Doctor addressed long-standing fan speculation that the Doctor could at some point change sexes while [[regenerating]]. The theory has been supported by [[Tom Baker]]. The possibility of such a sex change had been suggested by the newly regenerated [[Eleventh Doctor]] at the conclusion of ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'' when he found he had long hair and momentarily thought he was now "a girl". The first direct confirmation that a [[Time Lord]] can change sex later came in [[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]]'', where the Doctor mentioned that he had known [[the Corsair]] in various male and female incarnations.

* Fans had for years thought [[Joanna Lumley]] a candidate for the role of the Doctor, should they ever cast a woman in the role. She had earlier played Sapphire, a non-human time detective in the cult fantasy series ''Sapphire & Steel''. The script gave her name as "The (Female) Thirteenth Doctor".
