Go this thread out fast enough.

Next time, Danny Dyer.

 

[JimJamJones]

Oh boy those official twitter trailer tweet comments are already terrible.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

I imagine the BBC will put the teaser up soon - it was literally 10-15 seconds.

 

[epmode]

Any images?

Why bother? Gotta be the first to make the thread!

[21st century cowboy]

Called it being a woman with the hood up. The hand threw me though. Good job BBC. I'll need to watch more of her non broardchurch stuff

 

[jufonuk]

[DrForester]

I have never seen her in anything. But I like the look.

 

[Volotaire]

Wow, they actually did it. Pretty excited for the new direction.

 

[MarionCB]

Yes! I am so hyped. I've been waiting for this since I was a little girl.

Finally, nice!

SJW pandering! Cultural Marxism! LIBERAL AGENDA!

 

[slightconfuse]

Wonder if tenant gave her any tips

 

[Secret Fawful]

I liked her in Attack the Block, so I'm in.

She has man hands.

 

[Fergie]

Nice.

 

[jwk94]

Holy shit yes! Now give us a male companion.

SJW pandering! Cultural Marxism! LIBERAL AGENDA!

It's political correctness gone mad!

 

[Sage00]

That first reply.

 

[LongDongJunon]

SOOOO DOOOOPE

 

[-griffy-]

Man that teaser gave me chills.

 

[Beartruck]

Commence the MRA butthurt. I need salt for my fries.

Joking aside, if you had to do a woman as the doctor, she seems like the perfect choice.

 

[cloud_sleep]

A woman?

Fantastic!

 

[Shaanyboi]

I liked her in Attack the Block, so I'm in.

Oh shit, I thought she looked familiar

 

[linkboy]

Jodie is a great actress. Can't wait to watch the next series (and the meltdowns on Twitter are hilarious)

 

[Gowans]

Awesome!

I really need to watch Broadchurch

 

[liquidtmd]

Oh boy the Daily Mail comments are gonna be a shitshow

That guy who said 'No one wants Bras in the Tardis' - EAT IT

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

SJW pandering! Cultural Marxism! LIBERAL AGENDA!

Sargon of Akkad is furiously typing as we speak.

 

[Podge293]

Very nice choice. Well done BBC.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Yeah I love her in Broadchurch.

 

[Kalor]

This might bring me back. I fell off during the smith era.

 

[Blader]

Well damn, they actually did it.

Great choice. Really liked her in Broadchurch and Black Mirror (and from what little I remember of her in Attack the Block). Can't wait for S11.

 

[sammex]

Wow at the fume on the BBC tweet.

Personally I think it's a great choice.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Why bother? Gotta be the first to make the thread!

I mean, I made this thread to share the news that Jodie Whittaker had just been announced as the 13th doctor. I thought that in itself was news-worthy?

 

[broncobuster]

Attack the Block crew moving up in the world.

 

[xandaca]

Never really thought of her as someone who projected a big or eccentric personality as one might expect from the Doctor, but at least it's not Kris Marshall. Fingers crossed for her.
