Later this year, Peter Capaldi will portray Doctor Who one final time, the Christmas special also marking Steven Moffat’s final episode.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly at the San Diego Comic-Con, Capaldi revealed the advise he offered Whittaker following the announcement.
Despite this, it seems the majority have embraced news that Broadchurch star Whittaker will play the 13th version of the Time Lord.
Capaldi also spoke a little about the upcoming Christmas special, which will also star David Bradley as the First Doctor, originally played by William Hartnell. “That’s the first Doctor I remember,” Capaldi said.
