Tranter was part of the creative team who revived Doctor Who in 2005, and she later returned to the show alongside showrunner Russell T Davies in 2023 - and she's also produced hits including Succession, Spooks and Life on Mars.
"I also don't see the casting of Jodie Whittaker as the first female Doctor or casting Ncuti Gatwa as the first Black Doctor as some bold step in the culture wars. It's simply as it should be. It's normal."
Doctor Who has always been progressive but, in recent years, conversations have been sparked about the show's so-called "woke" attitude.
Previously chatting exclusively to RadioTimes.com, he said he doesn't necessarily view anything he's added to the series as representation per se, explaining: "I think it's my life."
He said: "And I kind of [am] rather bemused when people say you're representing things now, because I think that's just people I live with, and know and love.
Davies added: "But I think it's a great thing to see. I think Doctor Who’s a great big open door for everyone to come and see. Even if you’re straight as a nail, come and watch because there’s lots in this for you."
