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.

Being set in space / having time travel does not make a program sci-fi. This is mass-appeal fantasy bullshit at best.

Oh, ok, so you are one of *those* people.
Aren't you supposed to bitch about how it is "speculative fiction" anyway?
