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.

Come on, a female Doctor? That ain't how you SJW in $current_year guys, need more than a lousy one pointer. Add on lesbian, non-white or something. Trans, that is what counts as edgy in $current_year though. So they could have the Doctor's long standing male persona come through, making him a male trapped in a woman's body... for 'real' and then he could F-M transition. THEN they could make the show socially relevant with some "very special episodes", and isn't that what is important?

It is amusing seeing special little snowflakes being triggered so easily.
