Why would Maggie Smith make a great first female Doctor?
I know what you are thinking but don’t click off, I know that
we shouldn’t have a female Doctor but hear me out. It’s become pretty evident
since series 6 that we will probably be getting a female Doctor soon, so I’ve
sat around thinking of whom it should be and I narrowed it down to two Hayley
Atwell or Maggie Smith. So you can see my answer Maggie Smith but it was a very
hard choice and now I’ll be explaining why my choice is Maggie Smith.
Harry
Potter
This explanation couldn’t be written without mentioning this
role, the role that most people know her for, Professor Minerva McGonagall, Head
of Gryffindor and then Head of Hogwarts. What an amazing performance she gave
in this franchise, a scene that really stands out to me is when she fights
Snape to protect Harry in film 8; I can just imagine that as The Doctor and The
Master fighting. She brings an air of wisdom to the character which would be
amazing for The Doctor.
Ratings
Situation
Right this is what turned me away from having Atwell as the
first female Doctor and it’s something I’m naming the Tennant-Smith situation. This
is where an attractive actor/actress is cast as The Doctor causing the rating
to go up, right sounds good so far. But when we eventually get an older
actor/actress rating will plummet, as we lose the fake fans that came to see
the previous as eye candy. This may lead to a cancellation/hiatus of Doctor Who
again. So if we start with an older actress we will not be in this situation.
So there my reasoning on why Maggie Smith should be the first
female Doctor, my question for you today is who would you like as a female
Doctor and why? I’ll see you next time on The One Whovian
