Doctor Who star teases her last series
DOCTOR Who star Jodie Whittaker has spoken to the BBC about the new series – her last as the Time Lord.
The 13th series of the show promises to “tell one story across a vast canvas”, as well as being jam-packed with action, humour and terrifying new villains as always.
And, of course, expect the iconic return of monsters and aliens, including the Sontarans and the Weeping Angels.
This series of the show is called Flux. It will see the Doctor and her companions travelling to Liverpool, or back through time to the Crimean War, to uncover the moving parts of the universe.
Talking about the show, Jodie Whittaker said: “This series certainly doesn’t exclude people that haven’t seen it but it gives reason to go back and rediscover.
“It also has those brilliant cliffhanger moments and that – as actors and for the characters – it gives lots of different layers you can bring to it.”
Jodie teased fans the series would be “bigger and better than ever”.
“It’s my final (full) series,” she said.
“There’ll be questions asked, there’ll be answers, there’ll be exclamation marks, and huge exclamation marks, and I think that in itself will pique your interest and pique your curiosity.”
Talking about the journey of her character, Jodie said “self-discovery is the biggest journey” the Doctor goes on in this series.
Summing the series up in three words, Jodie said it was a: “Selfdiscovery rollercoaster!”
Showrunner Chris Chibnall said: “People can expect a rollercoaster of a ride, very different episodes, six very specific chapters, lots of different places in time and space, lots of returning monsters, some really brilliant guest stars, some brand-new monsters and some of my favourite cliffhangers we’ve done!”
The show began its 13th series last night. It airs at 6.25pm on BBC One. You can also watch Doctor Who on iPlayer.
