I'm so glad someone actually geeky got to interview Jodie. I've watched every single interview so far and this guy is actually asking the same questions I wanted to ask hahah.
Addewyn Wisdomancer So Maude "Geek Bomb" Garrett didn't qualify as geeky enough for you? lol
the interviewer is a proper Nerd I love it.
Omg i did no know that one of he companions was Dyspraxic. I have Dyspraxia and was diagnosed late on in my life and i have been wishing and willing for this learning difficulty to be brought into prominence in the media. I hope you write it well and Tosin plays it well amd all i can say is Thank you from the botto of my heart Chibnall. Thank you sir xx
Loved this interview from start to finish, Jodie is funny, enthusiastic and witty. She's going to make an epic doctor. Thanks for asking some great questions
@@lepimond4605 Cry more.
How wrong you were
@@craycray8098 she is epic though.
Thanks for the interview, you asked a lot of New questions those three hadn't been asked before.
Put Matt Smith's version of the theme tune on Spotify.
It’s there
This was a fantastic interview. Great thoughtful questions and answers that were different from most of their other interviews they've done so far. The host did a brilliant job.
Im English born, but moved to Australia when I was 22 yrs old, Ive been watching Dr Who since Jon Pertwee, I really wish they wouldnt analyze the show too much, for me is spoils the magic, just let it happen, Jodi Whitaker is amazing, just let her do her thing and everything will be fine.
John Berry Fair point 👍
R.I.P Doctor Who 1963 - 2017
Michael McGrath give up
Michael McGrath - The Doctor's not leaving, you're leaving. The rest of us will party on.
It's not the first time the Doctor has lead where not everyone is capable of following. But there are still many of us that can genuinely claim to be life long faithfull fans.
John Berry, Fair point. The "problem" (although not really much of a problem!) is that there's a different viewpoint on Doctor Who in the US; for them it's a niche geeky show, so the US audience is disproportionately geeky, and they geek out about it to an excessive degree! But in the show's home environment it's NOT like that at all. In the UK, Doctor Who is not niche and geeky, it's mainstream and HUGE.
For Brits, Doctor Who is part of national identity, part of the language, in a way that Mickey Mouse or Superman would be for an American. There are UK geeks of course, but they are a TINY fraction of the viewership. For the vast majority of UK viewers, the show is like any other TV drama which they are happy to watch every week, without then analysing on the internet or drawing fanart about! So the US audience does seem a bit (ok, a LOT!) more obsessive by comparison!
Lungbarrow and Benny Summerfield ARE canon in my Whoniverse ;) Fabulous interview, I'm a very excited 42 year old life long fan
I could never get into Lungbarrow. I found the concept depressing - I know a looot of people loved it. Bernice totally is canon though. So too, Charley Pollard and Lucie Miller :)
Didn't they name some of the Doctor's BF companions during the 8th Doctor anniversary minisode?
@@danic9304 They sure did, but my familiarity with BF audio companions is limited and I'm filling those gaps. I love this show so much, anything and everything can be canon if you want it to be :)
I love that I got a doctor who ad for this
So excited for this new season! It's wonderful to hear that one of the friends (I forgot his name) has dyspraxia, I do too and it genuinely means a lot to me to be represented like that and that people might learn more about it through watching the show.
Ryan played by Tosin Cole :)
@@bruadarach9758 thanks ^^
I don't I have to wait 13 month for an appointment to investigate my problems, people see these things on TV think it's a cool and trendy thing to have and take up all the appointments.
@John 'Sepp' Schiltz hey, yeah I've heard there's overlap there, it would be fascinating to understand why. I hope your coordination problems don't cause you too much stress. I know for myself if I'm having a particularly clumsy day it can bring me down.
@@zaftra I'm sorry you have that experience, I personally have never met anyone who has decided they have something like that because it's cool or trendy so I can't speak to how prevalent that is.
In the U.K. where I live, if you want to be assessed for dyspraxia as a child you have to go through 3 months of filling out forms to show you might have a problem before they'll even decided if you can have an assessment. It's even harder as an adult.
My daughter is going to be Dr. Who for Halloween, finely a women as Dr.Who
Lol, this didn't age well.
To Jodie Whittaker-the woman who fell to earth has just been transmitted- hello doctor!!!!!!😀
Lungbarrow is a great book, thanks for bringing it up
Me wishing how Jodie looked here could’ve been one of her looks as 13
That presentator needs to be the leader of the fandom right now lmao
great questions!
The fact that Chibnall thought that toupee was convincing should have let us know that he has bad taste.
I'm more excited to see the rest of the season then the premier, don't get met wrong, it's not that the previous doctor had bad first episodes. But they have the excuse of the generation not being done cooking even after the doctor changes. So it's usually like the doctor is all over the place until they see something that fit, and then the next 3 episodes really hones in for what we can expect from this run.
I hope they manage to actually do 1 series per year, so that we won't get these 18 months long waiting periods with only 1 christmas special. Also if she follows the tradition of only doing 3 series with delays, then the next doctor is barley going to be established before the 60th anniversary which is probably going to try and go bigger then the day of the doctor now that this show has gotten more worldwide recognition. So either she should stay on and then maybe end the 60th anniversary with a generation if she feels like leaving, or I hope she gets 3 series and 2 christmas specials before and after. And let the next actor have gotten familier with the audience. I know that is looking a long ways ahead, but I really want to see this happen, if they try and really massage Eccolston to come back :p It could be really cool to get a 5 doctor story again but with the revived numbered doctors
I know that Tennant and Smith will probably always come back if asked, and probably Capaldi to, and getting to see them all on screen together would be in her first words "Oh brilliant!".
Ok this guy brought up looks and Benny. Much respect for him. I just started listening to the Bernice Summerfield stories and oh, my glob! Yes, I would love to see her in the show! Maybe even some Irving? 😁
The fact he said Bernice Summerfield mean he 1) knows how to ask the right questions 2) Knows the lore! It would be amazing if Benny made into the live action side of Doctor Who!
wow, didnt think id see questions about looms or lungbarrow...
I live in Australia as we only get to see the show until October 8
I love that velvet pantsuit on her so much I wish that was her official costume!
same
She has a great wardrobe!
Exactly what I was thinking! This costume looks so elegant.
The 80's-esque / stained glass jacket she wore on Graham Norton would also make a wonderful costume.
But her reasoning behind the "timeless" look will make me notice it, appreciate it, and respect her even more!
She's got style!
Enough talk, just wanna see the show now
Today is the day. Watching this fantastic new Dr Who now and Jodi is amazing LOL. This is going to be fun.
Can't wait to see the faces of the people who were at this interview, after they'd watched dr who season 11.
Matt Smith is just wonderful
The whole Lungbarrow segment is a huge bruh moment now isn't it
👀
I'm so glad there are no multi-part episodes, and hence no cliffhangers. Because with so many movies *Cough*Marvel*Cough* and TV series that create virtual cliffhangers tying episodes and movies together, it's refreshing to know we won't have to wait a week to see how the culmination of a story.
Did he say there were no cliffhangers? (I've forgotten, now) That was a bit of a cliffhanger in this first one. And Chris Chibnall does like cliffhangers. He always ended Broadchurch episodes on one.
Ok now I'm looking forward to ep 3 because of what Chris said.
How rude, not to introduce them. I know Chris Chibnall is the writer and showrunner, but had no idea who the third person was. I gather he's producer? He's not even listed in the description.
daffy deel Matt Strevens, the co-Exec Producer.
Hugely excited... On top of everything else - Well fit!
She’ll be amazing
My childhood tv show is turning into Star Wars seeing the trailer shown in the start 😩😳
You can get Lungbarrow as e-book/pdf very easily. I sold my copy for £80, I bought it new for £4.99
Jodie unintentionally dressed as Jon Pertwee!
You don’t have to watch it in order? Does that mean the whole series will just be a bunch of adventures instead of a story arc?
Yes. That's been confirmed. 10 unlinked stories, no returning villains, and definitely a Christmas special.
Huh cool. Finally companions can just enjoy traveling all over the place with out the whole universe unraveling lol
Storywise it can be watched out of order - but for character development it seems better to watch in order.
16:58 does anyone know what movie he's talking about?
I just figured out something and that is Jodie Whittaker wasn't the only one who only did 3 seasons of Doctor Who, I mean David Tennant did 3 seasons before his Doctor regenerated into Matt Smith's Doctor, then Matt Smith did 3 seasons of Doctor Who before his Doctor regenerated into Peter Capaldi, and then Peter three seasons as the Doctor before his regenerated into Jodie Whittaker's Doctor, and now David Tennant is back as the 14th Doctor before he hands the baton over to the guy who is going to play the 15th Doctor.
💜
When I see this all I'm thinking about is Bill Burr ranting about how uncomfortable the chairs are
Does anyone else think this outfit would be amazing as a doctor outfit
This was interesting and I'll give you something, that's a good question from the host, although it has an obvious and a not so obvious answer too. Everything in Doctor Who can be canon or not, officially speaking, but the generally accepted thing is that the show stays first, I mean, nobody would put their hands in the fire over potentially ambiguous extended canon whether it works or not. I did hear about that novel and the concept of the looms, but like Chibnall, I never read it. Time Lord asexuality and reproductive machines have been hinted here and there, although... what's 100% known to us is that Time Lord "regular" sexuality is possible and over-exposure to the time winds makes you into a "sort of Time Lord", for a lack of a better word (and that's "a way" on how Time Lords may have expanded their society), the Looms could explain a lot about Time Lord regenerations and how different Time Lords deal with that (from Romana to the General to River to the Doctor itself), one thing doesn't completely nullify the other (actually, it might add up to that. Maybe not all Time Lords were fond of the idea of living by "normal standards"). The obvious answer is "it's extended canon, you know what happens to non-generally accepted canon - the show's lore stays first", the not so obvious answer is "it's compatible with lore I think, there's a gray area in the lore where that could definitely stay".
Jo
Anders Østerlund Larsen Grant? Are you trying to say "Jo Grant" or are we playing a Marco Polo version of "Jo Grant"? :)
i enjoy her play ❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙💛💛💛
Doctor who ad before the video, that’s ironic
Charllee Dodson i think you meant iconic*
These comments about Dr Who now being "SJW propaganda" is actually hilarious.
It's TRANSGENDERISM ...male and female do not matter anymore...everyone should be Transgender
GamerZapocalypse Uhh... No?
Give them body mics not handhelds, the sound is too variable
I Wait. I know about the Virgin Books' Seventh Doctor New Adventure "Lungbarrow". I also know about Bernice Summerfield being the Seventh Doctor's companion in the New Adventure novels and Big Finish audios. Both are deep cuts from Doctor Who? I liked that the interviewer knew his stuff but it felt a little awkward for me knowing this stuff as well.
IM FUCKING LOSING MY SHIT SOMEONE ASKED ABOUT LUNGBARROW HDHSHJDGQKFUSGSKYS
I loved the episode, chibnall is not afraid of killing characters, more like Who should be
*Great questions in a world and press that is fixated on gender, sexuality, and race.*
They brought up Lunbarrow? That's the geekiest thing I've ever seen, and I've been a fan of this show for nearly a decade.
Thanks!
This whole thing is just a huge bruh moment now isn't it
the Victoria wood of doctor who.brilliant.
Make Lungbarrow canon, Chibbs !
This is all wonderful, if there had been better story lines and writing it might have worked.
Oh yeah, in the US, they call it a season, in the UK, they call it a series.
Not for a long time. The American terminology always takes over - seasons not series, apartment not flats, day-ta not dar-ta.
Not sure about the part where Jodie says she's still a Time *Lord,* the Master was refered to as a Time Lady after becoming Missy
Romana called herself a timelord
Am I the only one that thinks the term ‘friends’ doesn’t work as well as companions? Especially when you refer to them as ‘the friend’ or ‘a friend’, it’s just a bit unnatural despite seeming like it might be more natural than companion.
John Smith I think the same thing, Doctor
In the show, though, they do tend to refer to them as friends or mates.
Laura Kay Yeah I know, but now they’re going out of their way to say ‘friend’ instead of companion, rather than using the words interchangeably. It just doesn’t work for certain situations.
"Companion" always made me think of a paid escort, so, it doesn't bother me. People can still refer to them as "companions" if they want.
I mean, it used to be "assistant."
yo the host looks like Mark Foster
Eh, maybe a little.
I wish they hadn't pretended that the negative feelings among the fandom don't exist. Otherwise a very good interview and insights into the character's development.
Tbh I thought the story of the episode was pretty mediocre but the Cinematography and Jodie are great
I went and saw it in the theater and it looked terrific! I saw Age of Steel/Rise of the Cybermen in the theater and it did not translate well to the big screen. I thought this looked and sounded great. The new cameras, the drones, the scope was fantastic.
I hope there are a lot of references to Peter Capaldi's Doctor during Whittaker's run. During the 12th Doctor's run he spent billions of years in the confession dial, returned to Gallifrey and exiled Rassilon, faced villians like the Master/Davros/Daleks/Cybermen/Ice Warriors and others.
The 12th Doctor did the most out of any Doctor, and i assume those events will be fresh in the mind of the 13th Doctor.
I know the show wants to attract a different audience, but please Chibnall don't make the 13th Doctor forget about almost all previous events like they never happened.
Heinrich Himmler I imagine that’s why she has a hard time remembering that she’s changed in the preview they posted. I suspect the transition is going to be a bit rocky.
I think Chibnall openly said that there would be no/very little callbacks to previous doctors.
That really sucks because there are parts of 12's era that would affect the Doctor forever. There are also a few plots that need to be explored more.
What happened to Rassilon after the Doctor exiled him? Does Rassilon want revenge?
The Time Lords are at the end of the universe and Davros now has knowledge of their return. What happened to Davros? What are the Time Lords doing? Will there be another Time War?
I hope the things I've stated eventually in Whittaker's run. Maybe not in the first season but the season after. I am quite intrigued to see how the Doctor adjusts to this regeneration, as 12 didn't want to go on and had enough.
I also have a gut feeling that the fact the Doctor is a Time Lord will rarely (if at all) mentioned in the upcoming season.
I think Chibnall will humanize the Doctor and make her almost an equal to her "friends". She's smarter, more intelligent, superior, and probably the most powerful Time Lord to ever exist. I hope that's made clear to the new audience that the BBC are targeting.
The Doctor both did and didn't spend all that time in the confession dial. He was destroyed and re-printed over and over again, essentially being restored to the initial point of arrival in terms of experience. The confession dial had the Doctor in it for all that time, but the instance of the Doctor who survived it didn't experience being in the confession dial for all that time. Only the last bit.
I'm sure they'll get to making call backs and picking up on loose threads in later seasons. This first season is meant to work as a welcoming jumping on point for new viewers. That's fairly normal for the show. Moffat's first season was also pretty much a fresh start, except for returning monsters, same for Davies's. I'm sure some of the basics will be "revealed" to new viewers over the course of the season, and then it'll keep building from there and start pulling more from the past over time, and sooner or later they'll do another Gallifrey-related episode or storyline. Give it time.
14 regenerations and 13 faces. Interesting. 14 regenerations is correct if you count both War Doctor and Ten2, but if so then it should be 14 faces too.. 13 faces is correct if you omit War. PEDANT! PEDANT!
No, he got it right. In the fiction the Doctor has had 14 regenerations and 13 faces. JW's Doctor is the 14th face as he did say "finally" after 13 faces. The one regeneration at the end of Series 4 did not result in the Doctor getting a new "face" as in a new incarnation. Instead that resulted in DT's 10 staying in the same incarnation and the regeneration energy created the duplicate "meta-crisis" 10th Doctor that went with Rose to another universe.
MS is the 12th regeneration, PC the 13th regeneration (and first of a new cycle of 12) and JW is the 14th regeneration.
Yeah I guess his wording of "after...xyz" means hes counting the 13 faces prior to Jodie
Sorry I got confused myself. I should have said the Doctor has had 14 regenerations and 14 faces.
The interviewer referred to 14 regenerations and 13 faces prior to JW's "13th Doctor" with her's being the 14th face.
It was so easy before the "meta-crisis" Doctor and "War" Doctor. Suddenly Matt Smith's Doctor went from being regeneration 10 to regeneration 12 after it was acknowledged that the "meta-crisis" regeneration counted as one and then the "War" Doctor was added in 2013.
So now DT's 10th Doctor went from being regeneration 9 to 10 then he also was in a way also regeneration 11 or rather that body got restored/regenerated while the hand that was lost in The Christmas Invasion then regenerated into another version of DT's 10th Doctor.
I have a visual chart to keep it straight!
It wouldn't be Doctor Who without an overly convoluted endlessly confusing lore!
Possibly but like I said the regenerations were very simple Doctor 2 is regeneration 1, Doctor 3 is regeneration 2 and so on through Doctor 7 being regeneration 6, Doctor 8 was regeneration 7.
So whatever number of the Doctor that was also the incarnation number and the regeneration number was simply minus 1 with the 1st Doctor being the original.
Now the 13th Doctor is the 14 regeneration but also the 14th incarnation/face. If the old way had continued on then Doctor 13 would have been the 13th incarnation/face but the 12th regeneration.
So the "meta-crisis" and "War" Doctors jump Doctor 13 to incarnation 14 instead of 13 and regeneration 14 instead of 12.
THE LOOMS ARE CANON
welp
:)
english language a level LMAO
She's a lot hotter with that hair colour and style.
inb4 Michael McGrath
I'm here
Michael McGrath why are you here fuck off.
chris seems cold
... Chris Chilblain
Has he seen Doctor who
Why is that host guy referring to the Doctor in past tense as "She" when the Doctor was a man before. Did they confuse him some how?
26:08 that was fucking creepy and cringey.
"Describe this incarnation of this doctor in 3 words,"
*I've got boobs*
boo
she talks a good talk: a pity she cannot be the doctor that many who have watched since 63 might want. heck, i'd rather watch re-runs of the sarah jabe adventures, or liten to my big finish stories, than ever watch another episode from series 11 again.
It was dire.
It's about time:
#retconjodiewhittaker
This didn’t age well.
Such a shame season 11 sucked.
Polished, gold plated shit will still be a shit.

#notmyfobwatch
29:05 DOCTOR WHO IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CONTEMPORARY!!! C'mon, Think about it. It's a show about time travel. Why are the new writers such morons?
After watching the series it’s safe to say this season was the lowest of the low across the board from the acting and story telling. The story telling was on the free fall from season 10 and the PC story lines and the diversity agenda were poorly implemented. It’s changed to a show that fits on CBBC rather than prime time Sunday evening TV. Also these long years off are ridiculous are they this inept at turning around 10 episodes a year!
Gender and ethnic politics is vastly more important than good stories?
That was never once said. But diversity is important in any medium.
The Doctor is now Transgender...it's about time...everyone should be transgender...it's about time...LMFAO
Doctor who lost a fan.
Instead of a show, it became a political statement .
Which fan did they lose?
I don’t want the crew getting overheated 🥵
Watch the first episode like everything nowadays just another sjw victim
This nonsense won't end anytime soon unfortunately.
R.I.P Doctor Who 1963 - 2017
wrong
Dont let the door knock you on your way out.
Oh piss off
You'll be as on board as every one else before the season is over.
Michael McGrath ok i'm done trying to be nice can you please FUCK OFF
SJW Propaganda
One of the weakest (if not the weakest) Who writers promoting a fresh start? Loaded language like "fresh start", "about time". Advertising that focuses on the feminist agendga of pc speech. Not considering male actors for the role, the change from compaions to "friends" in addition to the slow descent into full blown anti-male rhetoric in previous seasons. Not looking good.
Everything you just said is pure and utter BS.
"One of the weakest Who Writers, if not the Weakest" not even close.
"Promoting a fresh start" that is nothing new, Doctor Who has done this many times before
"About Time" has multiple meanings and has been used as a slogon before
"Not Considering Male Actors for the role" with previous casting female actors werent considered either, (in fact in the case of Peter and David ONLY they were considered and chosen) double standards? Anyway If casting a woman was part of Chibnall's vision who cares as long as it is done well.
"The change from Companions to Friends" Companions ARE Friends
"Anti-Male Rhetoric in Previous Seasons" and those were under Steven Moffat, who I might add is gone.
Grow up and stop being so sensitive to everything.
@@pikaplayzhd595 I would love an example of a decent episode this hack wrote then. Because his writing is predictable and boring. Example: The hungering Earth, I think its called.
As to the fresh start, well if you add that to oh so subtle, about time and glass ceiling scene, its pretty clear what message they are sending.
As for casting of other doctors? How does that come into it? I never stated that I approve of narrowing the selective fields. Merritocracy should be the only criteria. Which this new doctor has failed at.
If Companions are friends, why change the name? Unless words have meaning and Companions are more than friends, they help ground the Doctor to real life and problems of smaller beings.
The interview is full to the brim of virtue signalling nonsense.
"Grow up" Really? Good arguement.
Kid, Moffat wrote great stand alone episodes but entirely failed as a show runner. Grow up, snowflake. Watch it or don't.
@@MaleficaWitch who is brining up Moffat? Obviously I wasnt a fan of the direction he took the show.
However it is interesting that when I calmly and politely critique this new direction, people start name calling. Seems like they know the people this new show is aiming for.
Dont worry, I wont watch it. Just sad to see ANOTHER franchise "Get woke, Go broke".
Well it used to be assistants, how come you were ok with that?
