In 2019, two years after the announcement of Whittaker's casting, [[Christopher Eccleston]], speaking at Rose City Comic Con, said that the Ninth Doctor should have been female, and even claimed that [[Rose Tyler]]-actress [[Billie Piper]] should have been the Doctor instead of him, stating that ''"It's ridiculous we weren't thinking of a female Doctor at that time. In 2004, in me they picked yet another white skinny male to be the Doctor".''<ref>[https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a29116956/doctor-who-christopher-eccleston-ninth-doctor-woman-billie-piper/ ''Doctor Who's Christopher Eccleston says Ninth Doctor should have been a woman'' on digitalspy.com]</ref>

Of these forgotten incarnations, of which Martin's is suggested to have been one, at least four were female, including the earliest known incarnation, cementing that the Thirteenth Doctor had not, in fact, been the first female Doctor chronologically.
