Male or female Doctor it wasn't a great idea...

It definitely came from the top. It had been foreshadowed
under the Steven Moffat era of the show... so before Chris
Chibnall even came along. Once the Master became Missy, a female
Doctor was always on the cards. I think it's something that the
BBC wanted, just because.
Even so, a lot of the fans did give the show a chance, then
Chris Chibnall created the Timeless Child arc and that whole
pre-Hartnell 'Fugitive Doctor' thing which overshadowed
everything... and we won't even mention the Flux!
