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 can't afford professional help because billionaire looters are hoarding all the money and I don't live in a TARDIS which can extract energy directly from the time vortex and 3D print food.

    I miss the TARDIS food machine. It only appeared in two episodes in 1963. Apparently the machine broke down or something? After then the Doctor and friends always go out to eat. Fish and chips, usually.
