Jodie Whittaker made her debut as the next doctor on tonight’s Doctor Who Christmas Special, which also saw the departure of Peter Capaldi.

Before transforming into the first female doctor of the franchise, Peter‘s Twelfth Doctor walks around the TARDIS and says, “Well, I suppose one more lifetime won’t kill anyone… well, except me.”

Right when Jodie appears on screen, a crisis occurs and something major happens… which won’t be continued until the start of the next season.

Watch the video below and tune in for Twice Upon a Time at 9/8c on BBC America.

Jodie Whittaker, the actress just announced as the new Doctor Who, happily posed for fans while visiting the BBC studios on Monday (August 7) in London, England.

The 35-year-old actress faced a ton of backlash after being named the first female Doctor Who.

“I’ve missed a lot of the fun stuff, and probably the bad stuff because I am not on any type of social media and never have been,” Jodie said during her appearance.

Peter Capaldi, the current Doctor Who, will be stepping down from the role this December.

The BBC has crafted a perfect statement to respond to those upset that they have cast Jodie Whittaker as the first female Doctor Who after a string of males held the role.

The news was announced over the weekend that Jodie would be taking over the role, and some on Twitter began immediately rejoicing. However, there were some who wanted the role to remain male.

“Some viewers contacted us unhappy that Jodie Whittaker has been cast as the new Doctor,” the BBC wrote on their complaints website.
