I am a woman, so I don't need to play that. A moment like this of being the first woman cast as something, it makes you really think about your sex, whereas actually what you want to do is play a part where your gender is irrelevant. In an interview with Rolling Stone on 5 September 2017, Whittaker said that: "As a young girl, I did not think that 'Time Lord' would ever be on my CV." She continued: "I’m playing an alien and gender is not a part of that. In an interview with Doctor Who Magazine, Whittaker stated that the new incarnation will not fundamentally change the character of the Doctor, saying: "It's a brand new body, and the body happens to be female." She has above all the huge heart to play this most special part." Capaldi had previously expressed that he wanted the next actor to take the role to finally be a woman. "Anyone who has seen Jodie Whittaker's work will know that she is a wonderful actress of great individuality and charm. Peter Capaldi, Whittaker's predecessor, stated his full confidence that "she's going to be a fantastic Doctor". Whittaker, herself, stated, "I'm beyond excited to begin this epic journey … It's more than an honour to play the Doctor It feels completely overwhelming, as a feminist, as a woman, as an actor, as a human, as someone who wants to continually push themselves and challenge themselves, and not be boxed in by what you're told you can and can't be." Chris Chibnall took over as showrunner with series 11, following the exit of Steven Moffat.Ĭhris Chibnall revealed in July 2017 that he "always knew I wanted the 13th Doctor to be a woman, and we're thrilled to have secured our number one choice." Prior to Jodie's reveal, bets on who would be the next Doctor were hype, with names like Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Kris Marshall among fan favourites. Series 11 consisted of ten episodes and one New Years special. Despite not featuring its own storyline, series 11 did include the first mention of the Timeless Child, which would be explored in Series 12.
The series opened with The Woman Who Fell to Earth and concluded with The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos, with an additional New Years Special, Resolution, airing in 2019.Īlongside introducing the first female incarnation of the Doctor, the series was notable for avoiding overarching storylines and the use of "classic" aliens and monsters, both staples of almost every series of the revived series up to that point. It starred Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor, Bradley Walsh as Graham, Tosin Cole as Ryan and Mandip Gill as Yasmin. Series 11 of the revived Doctor Who ran between 7 October 2018 and 9 December 2018.
