Your first teaser for the new series of Doctor Who is here.

Months after we watched Peter Capaldi regenerated, as per tradition from the TARDIS, as the 13th Doctor Jodie Whittaker in last year's Christmas special, BBC unveiled a teaser for the Broadchurch actor's debut season as the Time Lord on Sunday.

Aired on BB1 during the FIFA World Cup final between Croatia and France, the teaser highlights three companions the Doctor will be adventuring with: Graham, Ryan and Yasmin, played by Bradley Walsh, Tosin Cole and Mandip Gill.

Plus, there's a little former Doctor Matt Smith callback in there, with Walsh shown reading The Beano magazine, pointed out by BBC journalist Lizo Mzimba as an easter egg from 2013 episode "The Rings of Akhaten."

Whittaker will officially take the reins when Doctor Who returns to BBC1 in fall 2018.
