New Who has always been woke AF I don’t know why they minimized it so much in the other comment. Like, yes the main doctor is almost always a white man, but the show itself has often (and even more so in recent episodes) had a clear “woke” agenda. And I’m not saying that in a negative sense. The showrunner for much of it was/is a gay “absolutely happily left wing” man ffs.

Edit: also, this thread talking about strong female leads jn Dr Who and not discussing Donna Noble is just wrong.
