    So why is she being ignored?

    So it's a splitting hairs thing? "She's the first in-universe woman doctor, but not the first one in an official production"?

    Correct. Also, CoTFD is fairly obscure.

    And it's a Parody made while DW was on its break. It's nice that Rowan Atkinson got to be The Doctor for a bit, though. Commented Jul 17, 2017 at 13:56

    @phantom42 Curse of Fatal Death is usually regarded as non-canon (to the extent that there's any concept of canon in DW), and it certainly contradicts the main continuity of the show, with the Ninth to Thirteenth incarnations of the Doctor being played by Rowan Atkinson, Richard Grant, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant, and Joanna Lumley rather than Eccleston, Tennant, Smith, Capaldi, and Whittaker. It was a spoof and clearly takes itself even less seriously than the rest of DW.
