Jodie Whittaker has been announced as Doctor Who's 13th Time Lord - the first woman to be given the role.

Whittaker, 35, said it was "overwhelming, as a feminist" to become the next Doctor.

Whittaker said: "I'm beyond excited to begin this epic journey - with Chris and with every Whovian on this planet.

It means remembering everyone I used to be, while stepping forward to embrace everything the Doctor stands for: hope.

Another tweeter, Ayad, said: "I don't even watch Doctor Who but a woman doctor is so cool.".

Traditionally, each Doctor has their own distinctive look, raising questions about the cloak Whittaker wears in the trailer. »
