Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker has lifted the lid on the decision to keep her thick, natural accent for the Thirteenth Doctor.
After the Doctor spied a reflection of her new physical appearance in the TARDIS scanner, she uttered the now-immortal line “Aw, brilliant.”
Doctor Who is set to air in late 2018.
However, Doctor Who is far more of a global property than it was during the Eccleston era and there may be a small chance that the Doctor’s new accent could deter some international viewers.
