Our First Look At Jodie Whittaker As The Thirteenth Doctor Who

As just aired on BBC One in the UK – and airing on BBC America later tonight, this is our first look at the Thirteenth Doctor in action, as portrayed by Jodie Whittaker, taking over from Peter Capaldi. And the baton was handed across.

The Doctor has just undergone a regeneration – not one that this Time Lord was particularly looking forward to. And one the fanbase seems rather divided on. But the Doctor had words for herself.

"Never be cruel, never be cowardly, never eat pears, hate is always foolish and love is always wise… ALways try to be nice and never fail to be kind oh and never tell anyone your name. No one would understand it anyway… except children…. Love hard, run fast, be kind." That's the advice the Doctor left to herself before the regeneration. But she may have more pressing concerns.

The new series of Doctor Who will begin sometime in 2018. A whole new show, a whole new Doctor and.. what was it the fanbase were fearing? A TARDIS full of bras? Well, as it stands, no TARDIS at all…

UPDATE: Oh go on, watch the whole thing yourself now…
