VIDEO : Doctor Who Star Shares Important Message About Characters Gender

When Jodie Whittaker was cast as the first female Doctor on the longstanding sci-fi series ?Doctor Who,? most saw her casting as breaking the glass ceiling on Time Lordship, but a few ? including Peter Davison, who played the role from 1981 to 1984 ? said they saw it as a ?a loss of a role model for boys.?
Whittaker doesn?t see the problem, however.
?I?d be surprised by finding a boy who didn?t have a role model in their life that was female,? she told TheWrap in a recent interview.
