It hasn't been since at least the modern era, or Tennant at the very least. The show was designed up to be aimed squarely at women and making them horny in every sense from that moment on.
Which is why girl doctor failed and why black gay doctor will likely do the same.
Hey us straight guys got a smoking hot redhead with Matt Smith for a couple seasons.
I also found Clara pretty hot.
Not everyone seems to agree, but for me, Clara >> later Amy (at least in looks).
Also less River Song, which for me sealed the deal. I really disliked that character, by the end, lol…
Yea, for all the noise they make, sexy women in media gives women the same sort of power fantasy as oiled buff dudes in jock straps give men (assuming it isn't overtly sexual). The first couple companions he had in the modern series played this role extremely well, but yes, they have once again completely misunderstood the point of the exercise by ditching that element.
