They both represent the dangers of allowing a franchise to get too long in the tooth...

I assumed Broccoli was preventing Bond from becoming a black prostitute with a license to kill Nazis

The truth, Gatwa as the Doctor is/was gimmick casting - getting somebody just to attract attention, without caring whether they can play the character. And that was true of Whittaker, and maybe even of Tennant second time round. Never mind the identity politics garbage, it's just a tired old show resorting to gimmicks.

How could anyone properly play the character, when there's no one left to properly write it?

It goes without saying that the show's writing and production needs a total overhaul. Ever since 2005 it's been controlled by the same small group of people who were fans and aspiring writers during the hiatus years. Time to get rid of that gang.

"It’s called Tip Toes and I don’t have to even guess what it’s about."

Oh it's a series adaption of the Gary Oldman classic isn't it?
