Doctor Who: See Jodie Whittaker as the Time Lord!

at .

Doctor Who is changing up for Season 11 and that means the show will have its first-ever female time lord. 

The exciting announcement was made just a few months ago, and we're intrigued to see the brand new episodes which feature Jodie Whittaker as the elusive character.

The BBC knows fans are dying for any information about the new season, and they have gifted fans in the best way possible. 

A picture was released this morning, and it shows Whittaker in character with a scenic backdrop and, of course, the TARDIS is also part of the image. 

Could we imagine the show without the TARDIS? That is not the type of show we would like to watch!

Whittaker is taking over the role from Peter Capaldi who will solve his final case in next month's Christmas special which will likely be a heartbreaking affair for fans of the series. 

Capaldi's performance gave the show a new lease of life, and it brought with it snappier writing and excellent characters. 

With the Doctor having a new face, it means there will be a whole new cast of characters. In fact, the show recently confirmed the addition of three brand new series regulars. 

Bradley Walsh (Law & Order: UK)  has been added as Graham, Tosin Cole (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) as Ryan and Mandip Gill (Hollyoaks) as Yasmin.

Doctor Who Season 11 will span ten episodes and will launch with a feature-length outing to get everyone accustomed to the new characters. 

Over to you, Doctor Who Fanatics. What do you think about the picture? Are you excited about the new season?
