"It’s been established within the world of the show that the Doctor can
take on any race and gender he so chooses, but thus far — over the
course of 54 years and 14 actors rotating through the role (including
John Hurt as an incarnation known as the War Doctor, who appeared in
three episodes in 2013, and David Bradley, who recently filled in for
the deceased William Hartnell as the First Doctor) — he has chosen to
appear only as a white British man of various ages, for reasons known
only to himself."
A good summary and historical review.
