I'm actually pretty baffled by Tony. I really love the version in my head (have you read Rictus? That's the closest fandom version to the one in my brain), but then the one on the show keeps making me feel vaguely disappointed. But then, not all of that is because I keep forgetting that Tony can be a dick in small-minded ways -- I also think NCIS characterization just tends to be really uneven on everyone except Gibbs.
Then also, NCIS's icky gender issues are sort of confused by their tendency to conceive really, truly awesome women who are actually pretty badass, but then the writers seem to just sort of...flail around, not knowing what to do with them or how to keep them that way in an actual plot line.
Like many people who quite like Tony and occasionally ship Gibbs/Dinozzo, I'm really ambivalent about the possibility of canon Tony/Ziva. But not because she's in the way of an OTP OMG, and not because I think he's "too good" for her. Ziva deserves better than a relationship with him. He's a fascinating character and sometimes I love him, but he's a dick, and he's a dick to her, and it kind of makes me queasy.
To answer your question, though: holy shit but I would adore Tonia. Or Toni, as I've also seen her called. But then, I love always-a-girl stories and Tony Dinozzo is precisely the kind of hyper-masculine character that is so interesting to me to see transformed like that. It's one of my favorite ways to explore characterization, to see what's different and what isn't different at all. I actively sought out Toni stories, and have loved a couple. And I would love to see that character on TV.
And while I don't have as much to say on Doctor Who, I loved Rose. I actually think she was a bit of a brat in the first series, actually, but that didn't detract from her bravery or compassion and was one of the reasons I loved her. She was real.
Basically a tl;dr that translates as YES, THAT, WORD
