No it's not, it's a variation on the same thing. The clue's in the phrase 'female Bond'.

It had better be different. Otherwise it's a woman being a man. Might as well just keep it as a man if that is the case.

So many particulars. So many questions.
its ok. The heroes are basically muggers though and thats never really addressed.

That was my problem with it. I was on the side of the alien

have you ever explored your dark side?
No I wouldn't. clearly I'm the same person I used to be and my personality has changed too, and yet, I remain consistently me.
It's an odd position that Bungle is trying to defend. It seems to be based on one that insists that women and men are fundamentally more different than timelords and humans or old people and young people, etc.

One on one? You're crazy.
It isn't a sex change
Dr Who is an alien, not a man or ladyperson.

i predict at no point will they ever discuss the sex of DrWho. It's appearance and gender identity that's changed. Do we even know if Time Lords have sex? Might they not have out evolved it a long time ago? (not a big Dr Who fan, sorry)It isn't a sex change

1. Hope you are right. Doubt you are.
2. Appearance has changed (Earth is used to this by now). Funny how you are assuming gender id has changed. You discounting the possibility of this Doctor being a trans man in a female body. If all things are possible so is that.
3. Yes the Time Lords have sex.
The Doctor has had sex with men and women. The Doctor has even had children.

yeah he's married to Alex Kingston and i'm 99% sure they bang

it is possible - i just can't see the BBC ever going there. They struggle just doing a basic, human, every day trans character, so good luck to them if that's how they decide to go.
children does not necessarily equal sex in science fiction (or fantasy).
I still can't see Dr Who's genitals and reproductive organs ever being discussed on what is a kids show.

but is this ever overtly stated on the show? Or is just done as a nod and a wink to the adult viewers - loosely implied rather than stated.

if Dr Who was realistic the British government would refuse to recognise her new gender until she divorced River Song and submitted herself to a panel of faceless bureaucrats with a foot deep pile of documentation to prove she was who she clearly was.
Gromit
International Man of Misery
She isn't married to River Song as marriage is only valid till death parts em.

This is silly. It would be a woman playing a character formerly played by a man. Of course it had better be different, and I don't see any reason to doubt that it would be: each Bond has been, to some extent. But it would still be a variation on a character that already exists. Otherwise it wouldn't be Bond, it would be a new character.
All this applies to female Doctor too.

I predict what they'll do is script a bunch of smirky but slightly oblique references to it, none of which are nearly as clever as the writers think they are and which will be grating on all of us by about 3m into the second episode of the next series.

I think that's what we would have got with Moffat in charge, I'm hopeful that the new guy will be a bit more subtle. I think it would be probably sensible if there's a bit of a time jump after the Christmas episode so we don't have all the post-regeneration stuff. Introduce the new characters who then happen to meet the new Doctor, who doesn't ever really remark upon the change, unless she runs into past characters at some point.

He could pop up in a branch of John Lewis, sell her some pot pourri and throw cushions for the Tardis.

I wonder if this will effect the decision on the new bond?
The Brocollis may see this as the sacrificial lamb so they can carry on with a white posh man as usual.
Also the BBC is at the forefront of political correctness and are not in it for the money, a private company may be more risk averse if it may mean less profits.
