The YORKSHIRE BORN actress is making history with her new role.
You’ll last remember her as Beth Latimer, Broadchurch’s grieving mother, but Jodie Whittaker is set to make a return to New Zealand TV screens very soon as the 13th incarnation of The Doctor in the cult classic Dr Who.
Playing the first female doctor in the show’s 55-year history, the British actress says she’s thrilled to take on such an iconic role, but laments the loss of her previous relative anonymity.
“I’m the type of person that you’d walk past and go, ‘I think I went to school with her,’ or, ‘I know her and I can’t quite place it.’ It certainly isn’t, ‘I know her full name and I can tell you who she is.’”
But when Jodie (36) debuts as the 13th doctor on TVNZ 1, that will certainly change – in fact, as she tells with a wry smile, it’s already started, though she happily adds, people have been “lovely” so far.
