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.

    Sure they have. The daleks were originally collectivist sociopaths, they were nazi's. In the new show, they haven been increasingly reduced from characters with political agency to mere props at the same time as the show glamorised collectivism and sociopathy (via the missy character). I'm afraid the original daleks ideology is preferable to that of the modern show. [thedailymash.co.uk] That is when you know the series has gone "full retard".
