Doctor Who: Jodie Whittaker shares what she thinks is the "best thing" about the Doctor

"The Doctor is all of us"

Popverse's top stories of the day


The Doctor is an exciting character, with (at least) fifteen faces... and that's only so far. In fact, this is the coolest part of the character, which the Doctor herself, Jodie Whittaker is happy to point out. This year, Popverse had a chance to moderate the Jodie Whittaker Spotlight panel at Emerald City Comic Con, and in the panel, Whittaker chatted everything from costume, to stunts, to the different peculiarities of her own turn as the Doctor - as well as what makes the role so special.
