They love the will they wont they sexual chemistry when its younger doctors

Awesome! It's going to be interesting seeing a female Doctor, now felt like the right time for it to happen too. So happy it isn't Kris Marshall.

Chris Chibnall really needs to shake the show up if it's continue on so this is a great start in doing that.

I love absurd syntax.

Great news if they don't sex her up lara croft stylee.

Its going to make or break the future of the show and im excited to see what it is like

Shut up bitch

Not really.

I am LOVING the online sexist meltdowns about this :clap1:

Omg the daily mail comments section will be a scream won't it girls!

Was she even on the bookies list?

I wanted it to be Matthew Lewis ( neville longbottom)

oop, what are they saying?

ow we shouldd have seen it coming

With just hours to go before the new Doctor is revealed, Broadchurch actress Jodie Whittaker and Death In Paradise’s Kris Marshall are neck and neck as joint favourites to take the role.


Peter Capaldi hails his Doctor Who successor Jodie Whittaker saying she will be 'fantastic
Jodie – who played Beth Latimer in all three series of the smash hit ITV drama – had previously been only fourth favourite to take over the key to the Tardis, with odds of 25-1 just four days ago.

However now Ladbrokes have said that she is just 6-4 to take over where Peter Capaldi left off, and become the first woman to play the Doctor in a series of the show.

Just who will replace Peter Capaldi? (Picture: BBC)
Of course the fact that Broadchurch’s Chris Chibnall is the new showrunner might just have fuelled speculation that she is involved.

Jodie is now joint favourite with Kris Marshall at 6-4 – who fuelled rumours of his involvement with the role when he abruptly quit BBC One’s Death In Paradise earlier this year.

I haven't seen much of her work, but from the rumoured list of women, I was hoping it'd be her (I mean, who else was there? Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Olivia Colman?)

Yes and the Very Old DJ
on very early morning LBC Steve Allen

He said it has to be a MAN

They've done enough building up to this moment for it to feel pretty natural now, it wouldn't have worked as well if the 11th Doctor was female (though if he was, I don't think it would have been a bad thing once people got used to it), but it feels just right for Number 13 to be female.

What a ridiculous response :joker:

Unlucky 13

Especially given the whole 12-regeneration-cycle thing (yes, I know the clone Doctor and the War Doctor and all that lot mess the numbers up)... it feels like 13 is the right time for a new start

Perched for the Rose/Tennant vibe with Bill and Whittaker :fan:

The Doctor to accidentally drink Bill?

It'll be a totally different vibe to the show but I'm really looking forward to it!
