The actor claims that he was “misquoted” in the reports that emerged, which suggested he had expressed doubts about the milestone casting of Jodie Whittaker, citing a possible “loss of a role model for boys”.

“My point was that the Doctor is a Don Quixote-type figure who rides into situations and the character who always puts him right is his female companion,” he told the publication. “And if you reverse that, you’ve got the difficult dynamic of a man telling a woman what she can and cannot do.

 

 

But I do also think the Doctor is a good role model because he is a hero who isn’t beating the s**t out of everyone.” On this topic, Davison said that Doctor Who has always been “liberal and progressive”, and added that the execution of its messages is important.

 

 

“[Doctor Who] would have a go at corporations, at the arms race, whatever,” he said. “But the point was: it never announced that that was what it was doing, As soon as you do that, it changes the optics.”
