The new Dr Who has been announced, to be played by Jodie Whittaker. This is the first time the character has been played by a woman. Jodie will be the 13th Dr Who, the series was first aired in 1963.
Jodie said, "I want to tell the fans not to be scared by my gender. This is a really exciting time and Dr Who represents everything that's exciting about change."
"It feels completely overwhelming as a feminist, as a woman, as an actor, as a human, as someone who continually wants to push themselves and challenge themselves and not be boxed in by what you're told you can and can't be."
