Ahoy, Doctor Who fans.
Season 11 of this long running (50+ year) SciFi show is coming soon. And with it, a new Doctor. The 13th Doctor. The first Female Doctor.
Here she is...

Indeed. She broke the Doctor Who glass ceiling. A first.
But did she?
Last century-last millennium, Comic Relief, a major UK charity, raised (and still raises) funds through comedy, Red Nose Day, with help from many well known British celebrities. In 1999, one of their skits starred Rowan Atkinson, as the 9th Doctor, in the Doctor Who parody, The Curse of Fatal Death (1999).
The 9th Doctor, after saving every planet in the universe 27 times, decides to retire, settle down, and marry his lovely time traveling assistant Emma. But they run into their archenemy, The Master, who puts a wrinkle in their wedding plans.
At first, the Doctor and Emma thwart The Master. But The Master prevails with help from the enemy of all living things. The Daleks. But with this deal with the tin can devil, The Master will be double-crossed and also exterminated by the Daleks.
The Doctor, The Master, and Emma quickly become allies to survive Dalek extermination. In the struggle, Doctor 9 is fatally wounded and regenerates into the "lick-the-mirror" handsome Doctor 10. Soon, 10 gets fatally wounded and regenerates into the homely, bumbling Doctor 11. Shortly, 11 gets fatally wounded to regenerated into Doctor 12, played by Hugh Grant.
Then Doctor 12 is fatally wounded and regenerates into the 13th Doctor. The lucky number.
Wait for it...

The enemy of the my enemy is my friend, right?

1999: The 13th Doctor is Female!
2018: The 13th Doctor is Female!
Back to 1999:
As the assistant says to Doctor 13: You're just not the man I fell in love with.
Then the female Doctor 13 asks her archenemy (they find each other mutually attractive): Why do they call you the Master?
His answer: I'll explain later.
Doctor 13 and the Master walk off together, leaving Emma behind, as The Master lets rip his diabolical laugh.
Wait a minute.
Let's go back to the future.

Red Nose Day did the first female Doctor Who first!
And comedy has the last laugh.
