I've always wondered if one should take exception to that word
"genderswap" as it seems to trivialize the $10,000 or so
one pays to Dr Chettawut. As if one were bartering one's anatomy
like Staffordshire tableware at a flea market.

Well...

I've generally seen "genderswap" in the context of fictional characters; "genderbending" can refer to fictional or actual challenges to traditional gender divisions. I used "genderswap" in this post because it was in the original.

Joanna Lumley as the Thirteenth Doctor in "The Curse of Fatal Death", a charity comedy special that had Rowan Atkinson as the ninth Doctor, Richard E. Grant as the tenth Doctor, Jim Broadbent as the eleventh Doctor, Hugh Grant as the twelfth Doctor, and Joanna Lumley as the thirteenth Doctor. (There was a loose electrical plug that took several tries to fix.)

Disturbingly, all of them are actually really good Doctors.

Wow!

That is so cool.

I saw a Doctor Who knockoff video playing at a convention, once, that featured a female Doctor but that doesn't look like her. I distinctly remember the line, "I'm sorry, Doctor, but you're not the man I fell in love with." So he ran off with someone else instead. It was quite well done.

That's the one. The companion, Emma, is played by Julia Sawalha, who played Saffie in AbFab. The Doctor ends up with The Master, The Doctor's old nemesis. Jonathan Pryce plays The Master, doing an incredible copy of Roger Delgato and Anthony Ainley, and they walk off together, with the Doctor observing that the Sonic Screwdriver has three speeds . . .
