BBC shares first photo of Jodie Whittaker as the Doctor and we're screaming
Can we speed up time, please? BBC shared a first look of Jodie Whittaker as the new star of Doctor Who, and we could not be more ready to see how this series grows.

Whittaker's casting was announced in July and met with everything from wild enthusiasm to archaic misogyny. Her companions are also diverse, breaking the usual model of a white male doctor and his female companion.
The thirteenth Doctor will make her debut per tradition in the annual Doctor Who Christmas special, taking over the TARDIS from her predecessor.
