I'll get the popcorn..
Jodie Whittaker has been announced as Doctor Who's 13th Time Lord - the first woman to get the role.
She was revealed in a trailer that was broadcast on BBC One at the end of the Wimbledon men's singles final.
The Broadchurch star succeeds Peter Capaldi, who took the role in 2013 and leaves in this year's Christmas special.
Whittaker, 35, said it was "more than an honour" to become the Doctor. She will make her debut on the sci-fi show when the Doctor regenerates in the Christmas Day show.
Here are Jodie Wittaker's entries on Wikipedia and IMDb.

I had never watched the first doctor until a couple of years ago. I just assumed since it was a TV show from the 60s, and most TV from that time period is garbage, that I wouldn't like it. Woah, was I blown away. I absolutely loved every episode of William Hartnell's doctor. Excellent show. I wish there was more of it to watch and that many of the episodes had not been destroyed.
Still really don't like Troughton, Pertwee, or Davison runs at all.
