This is Jodie Whittaker who is now the 13th Doctor of the long-running British sci-fi series Doctor Who. Jodie is making history as the first woman to play this iconic role.
Thank you Peter Capaldi and Steven Moffat for what you brought to Doctor Who.
That’s the trouble with hope, it’s hard to resist. The Doctor (from Doctor Who).
It’s new Doctor Who day around the world as the 10th series of the modern era kicks off today on the BBC and BBC America here in the states. Today has been about binge watching last season with Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman (who left to play young Queen Victoria in the ITV series “Victoria”, which is seen in the states on PBS). Pearl Mackie makes her debut as the new companion. This is Capaldi’s last season so we begin to speculate who will replace him. Let’s enjoy his brilliance while we can.
Peter Capaldi returns as the 12th Doctor for his final season. He is joined by a new companion, Bill who is played by Pearl Mackie. Matt Lucas joins in the adventure too. As a Whovian I am excited to see the upcoming season. We will see some classic villains returning too. It will be interesting to see how everything plays out and who will succeed Capaldi.
Peter Capaldi is a terrific actor and a great “Doctor”. He will be leaving “Doctor Who” at the end of this series/season. Peter made this role his own and it will be interesting to see who will be tapped to replace him in the TARDIS.
Pearl Mackie is named as the new Doctor Who companion alongside Peter Capaldi’s Time Lord.
