And now for something completely different!  Jodie Whittaker brought us our first female Doctor amid huge outcry and controversy which I never really understood. We had already had a female Master , why should a female Doctor be such a surprise?  She has certainly made the role her own, taking bits from many previous Doctors, and blending then seamlessly into a whole new person, which is exactly what its all about!  Jodie Whittaker is excellent as the Doctor and has been in the role since October 2018 to the present day.  So far she has appeared in 22 episodes over 2 series and series 13 is due to air in 2021.
