All the world's a stage I'm going through


I don't know the reason for all those missing stories on britbox in the OP, but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess Terry Nation's estate being arsey?

The thing that annoys me about the "Boys losing a role model" more than anything is that even if it were true, it's not forever. We're going to have a female lead for what, an average of three years. And once we're done, I doubt the BBC are going to go with 12 more female incarnations of the Doctor to balance things out.

Let a female lead shine for a while (or god forbid, actually wait till we have an episode or two to watch before condemning the idea). Eventually you'll have your male role model back again. Or, you know, rewatch some of the 50+ years where the Doctor was a male role model. Unless all that's somehow invalid now.

Ah. It's been a while since I read it, I forgot the specifics.

You're also possibly thinking of Life, the Universe, and Everything, where Ford and Arthur chase a spacetime anomaly in the shape of a Chesterfield couch across a prehistoric field.
