Also check out rocketsurgery’s other Doctor Who illustrations here.
First, look at these. Observe how right they are.
Then tell me why you couldn’t have a female Doctor again…?

Doctor Who e-cards! (I like this one best…)
ceci-nest-pas-une asked: Hello! Your episode of Doctor Who was absolutely fantastic, and if you don't mind I have a few questions about it for research that I'm doing on the representation of women in Doctor Who. 1) Your episode made it canon that a Time Lord can change their gender in a regeneration, but it wasn't in earlier versions of the script. Why did you include the line that the Corsair had been a woman? 2) Do you think the Doctor could or should regenerate into a woman? Thanks!
1) I just went and looked, and it turned up in the 5th draft, in June 2010, which was the rewrite I did where I moved it from Season 5 to Season 6 and first included Rory, instead of it being a Doctor/Amy two hander.
This was how the scene read in that draft:
AMY This Time Lord. What’s he like? Or is it a Time Lady?
The Doctor keeps leaving the control panel to talk to her, then heading back to it to make an adjustment.
THE DOCTOR He’s called The Corsair. Fantastic bloke. Hearts in both the right places. Time Lord High Council couldn’t stand him either…
(to Tardis)
You can do it. Push!
RORY So what happened to him?
THE DOCTOR Went off in a TARDIS, never came back. Problem unique to Time and Space exploring. You never know if someone never came back, or if they just haven’t come back yet.
The centre column has now almost stopped.
THE DOCTOR (cont’d) Lovely man. And occasionally, lovely woman. He had a tattoo on his arm. A snake, eating its own tail. Incorporated it into every regeneration. Said he didn’t feel like himself unless he had the tattoo. We’re completely and utterly stuck here. She needs more thrust.

The top three and the final two are the ones that produce actual visceral emotional reactions in me. The top three give me a combination of nostalgia and delight, the final two just happiness.
(Although I never saw the top right one in colour when it was being broadcast.)

Just noticed this one too.
I miss my recording-an-album-in-Australia wife and wish I had a TARDIS, this evening.
THE DOCTOR WHO EPISODE I WROTE, THE DOCTOR’S WIFE, IS NOW UP ON NETFLIX
Actually, the title says it all. Season 6 of Doctor Who is streaming on Netflix, so if you haven’t seen “The Doctor’s Wife”, now’s your chance.
Hang on. I will go and find something to randomly illustrate this with, by searching for “Idris” on DeviantArt & picking the first thing that makes me smile.
Just in case you are thinking, “What would Neil Gaiman say if someone stuck a camera in his face on the set of the Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me Special and asked what his favourite Doctor Who moments of 2011 were?”. Now you can find out.
WARNING. I look sort of rumpled.
Charlie McDonnell and I, on the TARDIS set, talking about The Doctor’s Wife.
One of the best things that happened to me in Tasmania early this year was watching FourPlay start an impromptu version of this backstage at the Monafoma festival.
Nakedly commercial message.
THE 2012 Doctor Who Brilliant Book has just come out. I write a page about the Corsair ( Remember him/her? The Time Lord with the Ouroboros tattoo? “ohh, she was a bad girl…”) from The Doctor’s Wife, and Mark Buckingham and I did a 3 page comic of a deleted scene from The Doctor’s Wife in it.
Here’s a few Mark Buckingham panels of the Rain Gods bit before they were lettered.
