Doctor Who may be a woman now, but don't expect James Bond to follow down the same path.

The suave spy is 'probably' going to stay as a man, the long time producer Barbara Broccoli told The Guardian.

She says that he was written as male and will stay as male, and called instead for there to be new female characters with stories written to suit them

Broccoli also says she thinks James Bond has 'changed with the times' in terms of how woman are viewed, but admits that the spy cannot be considered a feminist.
