Christopher Eccleston has come out in support of Jodie Whittaker’s casting in Doctor Who.
Doctor Who returns on Christmas Day. Whittaker’s first full season is expected in 2018.
Despite all the speculation going around, it’s unclear at the moment quite what Whittaker’s Doctor will be like.
Assuming that Whittaker keeps her natural West Yorkshire accent, her Doctor will be the first ‘northerner’ to pilot the TARDIS since Eccleston departed the title role after just one series.
