I found it interesting that nearly all of these involve the fake (female) Doctor.
A clickbait article with an agenda? How original! It's just a pity the
author didn't look back as far as the Sylvester McCoy era
A male Doctor wouldn't have made much difference to those episodes, as
an actor just reads a script. So male/female in the lead role is
irrelevant if the story itself lacks substance and/or coherence.
