jodie and mandip answering the "what does the support of the queer fanbase mean to you" knowing that yaz and the doctor canonically like each other is brilliant
Yes it is important for kids to see that diversity exists. They had 12 white, straight male Doctor's. Now they get to see a female Doctor who still prefers women. Makes perfect sense to me.
What I especially love about dr who is that they put gay couples in stories just completely unironically, like they are like the only show I’ve ever watched that has like one off gay couples or people in episodes and they don’t make them being Gay a whole big deal, they really portray gay people and relationships like they are in real life, in the real world people being gay isn’t their whole personality or character arc and dr who does that
Jodie talking about how Doctor Who is about humanity- so humanity should be represented made me tear up. Its just so so true. And yeah, everyone should be able to see themselves in DW.
@@noneya3635 "just not that problematic male part of humanity" so was that sarcasm or are you saying that people in general aren't allowed to have biases and faults? Because I think it's about more than just acknowledging that you've got them! It's also about accepting them, I accept that I'm going to relate far more to a male Doctor because I'm a man! People acting like it's about how much you do or don't look upto someone based on gender need to grow up and make that distinction in their minds. Just because one thing influences the other doesn't make them inherently the same. After watching a few clips I thought that Jodie was just a David Tennant ripoff with 70-80% quirk and no depth! Having watched her that number dropped to 60-70% and then disappeared because even though she had influences like some of the other male Doctors she put her own unique spin on it! I'm a fan of Jodie and her performance, but I'm not a fan of her Doctor, because Chibnall did a very poor job of writing her character development especially in "Arachnids in the UK" that episode was horribly written when it comes to the Doctor's character and who she is!
Not going to lie, Thasmin the shallowest most contrived ship to be thrown in at the eleventh hour. As a gay person, this is not representation. This is fanservice. My sexuality isn’t shallow fodder for Twitter stans to parade around.
@@roguexxrenegade i don’t think it was eleventh hour. there has been stuff hinting to it for ages even since s11. for me it felt like representation since yaz and dans conversation was so so relatable to me. everyone is different but for me i really liked it
Absolutely incredible to be hereafter watching Eve of the Daleks. Mandip-absolutely brilliant portrayal. As someone who thought since series 11 that there was something, even subtle in looks and text, it felt so incredible to hear Yaz recognize her feelings for the Doctor, but more importantly, to find who she is and try to come to terms with it.
and the way they did it, with yaz not “telling herself” yet, was so relatable to so many fans of the show, me included, about realising it for yourself and coming to terms with that, since that is such a big part of life for so many people
@@user-ye1xe7oy7i What did you think about Dan telling the Doctor about Yaz's feelings? As Yaz is still figuring it out for herself and getting through that hard part of admitting to yourself out loud, I'm curious, was it kind or inappropriate for him to blab so soon? I'm slightly torn, Dan's heart was in the right place, trying to be a good friend but it was also heart wrenching that he's put her on the spot as it were.
@@hotdog1214 yeah i don’t think he should have told her. yaz, who is only just telling someone (and herself) this for the first time in her life would probably want to keep that private and i don’t think she would have been ready for the doctor to know so soon. i think it would have been best to at least wait a little bit
@@user-ye1xe7oy7i I think for the show it works because since the beginning it was sprinkled in. By this point the fans are like come on just say it! Of course in real life it wouldn’t be right. Yaz would need to come out on her own terms.
@@amanekabbaj exactly. In real life it’s never OK to out someone. Within the terms of the show I understand it helped move things forward. I posted about it on Instagram because I had Opinions 😂 i’m glad they touched on it in the next episode, I half expected them to completely not even mention that he did that.
Jodie has just rekindled my love of the show and has just got better & better…will be so sad when she goes😢…Mandip has grown so much and they’re great together ❤️
People have a right and are entitled to like and have their favourite era Michael. I don't like David Tennant but I don't go around saying your not a real fan or insult anyone. A real fan would embrace change and support the show rather than whine on about how bad the era is. You don't like this era fine that's your choice and entitled to it but let others enjoy it that do.
@@MichaelM28 A "real fan" as you so confidently put it would stay with Doctor Who no matter the reviews, quality of the episodes etc. So you are clearly not the "real fan" here.
Jodie is so hilarious when she gets excited. Love listening to her and Mandip interact too. I was hoping for more "Snog, Marry, Exterminate" randomness but thanks for the interview!
I've been watching Doctor Who since Jodie was in nappies, and I cannot remember the last time I enjoyed TV Who this much - maybe 1990 with Ace & the Professor, when all the women at Bryn Mawr wanted to be Ace or date Ace or both. Jodie has had such a hard job with the headwind she gets from some quarters, but she brings all the daft energy, passion and compassion to the Doctor the part requires. And Mandip has been brilliant too, both in showing a companion's classic Who style character development as she learns more about herself on her travels and gains confidence and expertise that will allow her to achieve things in her post-Doctor life, and in the way Mandip portrays the subtext of a gal with a crush on the Doctor (but not an unhealthy obsession, for the most part; Yaz is terribly attached and looks at her starry eyed but also recognizes the all too annoying flaws and risks of getting attached to an alien one knows too little about - a bit more healthy than recent new Who Doctor/companion dynamics). It's been fun, The characters are great, the actors are great, and thanks to the chemistry between Jodie and Mandip I can't help wanting the Doctor to find a clue and give Yaz a snog - but I'm here for them until the last second. I'm probably gonna bawl like a baby for Jodie's regeneration, when i never have for any that I can remember, even Jon Pertwee's which hit me hard because I was quite young. Jodie, Mandip, you'll probably never see this, but as a bi Whovian who's just about old enough to be your mom - you've given us joy during some difficult years. You've brought this classic Who fan fully aboard new Who. Good luck in your next roles. But please, stop by Big Finish sooner or later to record some audio adventures together with Thirteen and Yaz, because boy are we going to miss them!
this comment honestly just made my day! it’s nice to see someone saying such lovely things about this era of the show, especially with so much negativity about (even just in this comment section). I’m still a teenager but i’ve been watching this show for as long as i can remember, and, just like you, i adore the thirteenth doctors era! it’s just nice to read about what it means to different people :)
Quite right. Honestly Jodie as the Doctor is.. I will definitely be bawling like a big baby I love her so much as the Doctor. Honestly I've been a big fan for a long while now, maybe not my whole life or even half of it (I came into the show just before Peter Capaldi took over from Matt Smith) but I love Doctor who so much and 13 has become MY Doctor and I absolutely adore Yaz as well. I'm not ready to see Jodie go, and I dunno what the future holds for Mandip but if she is also departing I will be extra sad. 13 has saved my life in some of my biggest life struggles these past handful of years and I will always be grateful to Jodie for that because it was the right time in my life to see someone so enthusiastic to be the Doctor as Jodie has been. I'll miss her a great deal
I love Jodie’s answer to the whole ‘why do boys need female role models’ question. I never thought about it that way myself but she’s totally right. As girls we are just expected to look up to men a lot of the time because women have been and still are in the minority of lead roles. Why should it still be a question when you reverse the roles? All children should have role models of diverse genders and backgrounds to look up to.
I used a similar answer even before Jodie's first episode and I think both boys and girls can benefit from have opposite role models, there's no reason why we shouldn't. In fact, there's more reasons why we should. I always admired female roles just as much as male roles and it's a scientific fact we both have in ourselves male and female hormones, we flip each others' "energies" all the time. I think having both role models no matter who they are can always give oneself things to aspire to and wrongs they must overcome.
@@ReversedPolarity absolutely right! saying people desperately need role models of the same sex and gender is just creating a bigger divide between the sexes and adheres to the idea of a rigid and strict gender binary which is not really a good thing at all
@@fifthdoctor We definitely have plenty of stereotypes and preconceptions we absorb on a daily basis when life can be so much more wholesome. Anyone (real or otherwise) can influence people to be their best. As you said, people really shouldn't limit their mindsets to binary ideas because that division never brings anything productive to us. We can be way more than our differences if we want to.
the two of them somehow became my favorite doctor and companion duo among the huge group of pairings with great chemistry, they got me back to being fixated on the show like i was at age 12 i’m going to miss them so much
Me too...I just love both of them so much...I will be so sad when this Doctor regenerates OMG.. I can just see myself in tears 😢 ....and I love the energy in both of them....Jodie is such a grait ambassador for this show...and the passion that both of them have for the show and the characters is just so inspirational. 🥰🥰🥰
Funny... they've driven MOST people away. So glad they aren't staying longer... they've already stayed too long. How were the viewing figures last night? What? The lowest ever? I wonder why...
I’ve been rewatching and the first episode Graham says “this is Sheffield we don’t get aliens” or something like that. Then Jodie turns round and says “why I’m alien and I’m here”. I just loved that!
Its great to read possitive comments about 13th Doctor. I have been watching DR Who since Jon Pertwee and she certainly became my fav. I love Mandip and Jodie's Chemistrty which I think makes it so much better on screen. I am so going to cry at the end of her last epsode also I feel sad that its coming to her end and she is finally possibly going to acknowledge her feelings but not going to have much time together. !3th knows her time is short so its heart breaking seeing her look at Yaz with such sorrow knowing what pain will be coming :( I also hope next one is female too but they will have quite the act to follow ;)
WHY? They don't deserve it. They've ruined Doctor Who for most people. Both terrible actresses, the worst the show has ever had. They deserve nothing but unemployment after this.
@@benmiller3252 Harsh... but true. The damage they have done to the show is probably irreversible, even RTD probably can't save it now. How proud they must be.
@@blastfromthepast8344 you are out of your depth. They are actresses. Not writers, not directors. They have to work with what they are given, script and direction. This is not their fault.
ahh it’s amazing watching this after eve of the daleks!! it’s nice seeing how all the subtle looks and comments over the series paid off into Yaz realising she likes thirteen. excellent episode and this interview is great and i’m definitely going to miss them both when they leave !
I wish that Steven Moffat would write and produce at least one story for these two really fun people. I mean, Jodie is truly "Doctor-ish-ly" awkward (Moffat's great at writing that stuff), and Mandip's silliness never got used enough.
If David Tennant and Freema Agyeman were great during the Doctor Who series, the same has to be said for Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill. They definitely are a great on screen pair and the action in the current series is just amazing to watch.
I love these two so much! Also I am here after Eve of the Daleks and the question about the support of the queer fanbase hits so much harder after what happened in regards to Yaz's feelings for the Doctor, this is so important!
it's a shame that Russel T Davies didn't return to the era of Jodie Wiltaker it would have allowed him to see her performance for me she played the doctor very well. one more season with Jodie Wiltaker with Russel T Davies would have been beneficial.
'Obviously the show has been on the forefront for queer representation for years now, how much does the support from lgbtq fans mean to you and affect the show?' Mandip and jodie : ;) time to pull a sneaky on ye
Jodie's answers 6:12 - 8:05 pretty succinctly sum up first, my reaction to the Thirteenth Doctor; and then second, exactly why I fell in love with the show as soon as I watched my first episode back in 2005 :') (also I agree, Eccleston's jacket was fantastic ;D)
I really wish that the writing had been better in the last three seasons because Jodie was so good in the role and I love her so much. I feel like the actors were given so little to work with and still managed to make me enjoy their performances.
She has one more episode left which is very sad and bitter sweet. I loved her Doctor the most. Grew up watching this series fell in love with it when David Tennant was playing the doctor after him I wasn't that attached to any dr until her. Yh the writing was off but HER as the doctor was marvelous! Jodie Whittaker was THE PERFECT doctor castings EVER. I wouldn't want any other actress to play the first female doctor. Her ACTING is out of this universe. I hope after this is all over and after her baby is born she will comeback to the industry with a great project, and she gets many more big projects in the future. Hopefully she will return as the doctor in the future as well. I can't end this without saying that Yaz was well casted as well Mandip did a splendid job. Gonna miss these two working together. I'm heartbroken to let them both go but Can't wait for the future. She will be MY Doctor forever.
Sad. No one else does. Maybe that's why they took her face off the front of the annual? And why the viewing figures for last night's 'special' were the lowest ever. She's NOT the Doctor. No for MOST people anyway.
I'd have loved a season with the two of them after the big feelings reveal. I'd also like, just once, to se the Doctor be the one crushing on a companion and trying to hide it. I feel these two would have been great for that.
Tbh, if season 1 and 2 had the quality of writing the last season did AND made more of the relationship between The Doctor and Yaz, I think it would have been an awesome 3 seasons. However better late than never.
Doctor Who Has Been Around For 60 Years and I Find That Every Doctor Has Their Own Personality & Alot Of The Stories Have Their Own Personal Moments. Romana , Sarah Jane, Nyssa, Lela, All Had Interesting Adventures and Stories With The Doctor, Ace Was A Different Companion Than The Rest She Was Always The One With The Explosives On Hand In Her Backpack. Each Companion Has A Different Style & Personality That is Unique To The Series, Tom Baker Was Definitely One Of The Best Incarnations of The Doctor, Sylvester McCoy Also Was Very Different From The Rest With His Persona He Was Great For The Series Also. I Think That Given The Chance The 8Th Doctor Would Have Been Fabulous Also.
my fav moment is at the beginning of flux, when 13 & yas are hanging upside down about to die bantering about whose fault this situation is ❤️ 😁 perfect vibe
This last series was amazing! My fav episode was with Kate-I realized Kate always knew she was seeing the Doctor without being told. And the NYE episode reminded me of “Groundhog Day” from a Doctor Who perspective. Truly brilliant, IMO. I can’t think of another writer who could have done that. Of course, no one else could have written Cubed or 42 (Doctor Who episodes), either. Sorry to see Jodi go.
I love Jodie so much. I wish we had had her longer. I don’t hate the chibnall era but I really wanted an opportunity for her to do more and I am so mad we got cheated out of seeing her with River
@@blastfromthepast8344 because ur sitting here talking about someone you don’t like 😭😭 like i’m sad for you. be happy! go watch a video of someone you like and enjoy it instead of wasting ur time lol

This is great! I enjoyed Eve of the Dale's. Aisling Bee is always so good. I loved the loves revealed in it. I have pretty much loved every episode of Doctor Who that I have seen. I first watched it when I was 8. I am now 53. 💜💜💜 I agree about Ace's style. I still dress that way. 😁
As a gay woman myself I loved the portrayal of Bill. She was a young woman who happened to be gay. Straight people sexuality doesn't have a big thing made about it. So why shoybit be any different without the LGBT community. Her love story with Heather was treated the same as a straight persons. It was lovely. She also wasn't the stereo typical lesbian. She wore trousers. But so do straight women. She was still femanine. I just feel we didn't see enough of Bill. I'd have loved her to have met the 13th. Not for any kind of love thing between them. Just for her to see a different side of the Doctor.
I love these two both as people and the characters. A fantastic addition to the Whovian universe. As to my fave bit? Definitely the random mattress in the console room from episode 1 of Flux 😂
it's random and weird, but i really love the way Jodie consistently licks her lips between questions. not just in this interview, but in all of them, for all her life. it's a thing she has always done, and i love it
Jodie Whittaker says the Doctor "wouldn't exterminate anyone" ... but her character just used the Flux to genocide 3 races ... so that's just a little bit confusing. Unless the rumors are true that she's been secretly playing the Valeyard all along?
Say what you will about The Thirteenth Doctor and Yasmin Khan. But Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill were trying really hard in their roles. It's just the writing didn't do their characters any favors.
I really like Jodie, I wish that Chibnall wasn't directing all of her stuff because I feel like she could have really shined if it wasn't for poor writing.
jodie and mandip answering the "what does the support of the queer fanbase mean to you" knowing that yaz and the doctor canonically like each other is brilliant
Mandip's eyes darting from the inteviewer to the camera just killed me
As many have mentioned, I would love to play poker with Jodie, she had about 5 tells instantly.

@@jonylawson73 I agree, it's so important, would've helped me out so much when I was little

I love Mandip and Jodie's Chemistrty which I think makes it so much better on screen. I am so going to cry at the end of her last epsode also I feel sad that its coming to her end and she is finally possibly going to acknowledge her feelings but not going to have much time together. !3th knows her time is short so its heart breaking seeing her look at Yaz with such sorrow knowing what pain will be coming :( I also hope next one is female too but they will have quite the act to follow ;)
THASMIN IS CANON YALL
The way they pause after the question about favourite queer character or storyline 💀
I don’t ship it but I know so many who do and I SCREAMED when I watched the new episode askajskj
In a good way
I wish Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill the best of luck
WHY? They don't deserve it. They've ruined Doctor Who for most people. Both terrible actresses, the worst the show has ever had. They deserve nothing but unemployment after this.
@@blastfromthepast8344 well that's a bit harsh
@@benmiller3252 Harsh... but true. The damage they have done to the show is probably irreversible, even RTD probably can't save it now. How proud they must be.
@@blastfromthepast8344 you are out of your depth. They are actresses. Not writers, not directors. They have to work with what they are given, script and direction. This is not their fault.
@@YoungButRetro LOL. If you gave Jodie the best Doctor Who script ever written, she'd still mess it up! She's hopeless.
ahh it’s amazing watching this after eve of the daleks!! it’s nice seeing how all the subtle looks and comments over the series paid off into Yaz realising she likes thirteen. excellent episode and this interview is great and i’m definitely going to miss them both when they leave !
Love their friendship so cute
I would love to be friends with Jodie Whittaker she is so postive
She looks down on dweebs like you. Try to get some real friends instead of fantasising about a bad actress.
@@blastfromthepast8344 bad actress? Shes bloody brilliant! Amazing actress and so is yaz.
@@blastfromthepast8344 i feel Jodie Whittaker has been let down by chibnall stories
@@Undefinedcreature394 LOL. Get well soon. I think you may need to change your meds!
@@kylelacey8062 They are BOTH to blame. He is a terrible writer. She is a terrible actress. She's totally wrong for the part in every possible way.
jodie and mandip best friends forever ❤️
I remember when I first saw Jodie Whittaker in the Sci-Fi movie Attack of the Block… She’s an awesome actress… For Jodie -> 💐💐💐💐 … 😎
Jodie is the best doctor I've seen for a while sad when she will leave
I wish that Steven Moffat would write and produce at least one story for these two really fun people. I mean, Jodie is truly "Doctor-ish-ly" awkward (Moffat's great at writing that stuff), and Mandip's silliness never got used enough.
I truly cannot express just how much I love these two nerds 😍
Favorite moment when the doctor and Yaz look in each other eyes.
Jodie, as the Doctor, in those weird flood pants were the fashion crime. But we still love her. :)
If David Tennant and Freema Agyeman were great during the Doctor Who series, the same has to be said for Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill. They definitely are a great on screen pair and the action in the current series is just amazing to watch.
I love these two so much! Also I am here after Eve of the Daleks and the question about the support of the queer fanbase hits so much harder after what happened in regards to Yaz's feelings for the Doctor, this is so important!
it's a shame that Russel T Davies didn't return to the era of Jodie Wiltaker it would have allowed him to see her performance for me she played the doctor very well. one more season with Jodie Wiltaker with Russel T Davies would have been beneficial.
'Obviously the show has been on the forefront for queer representation for years now, how much does the support from lgbtq fans mean to you and affect the show?'
Mandip and jodie : ;) time to pull a sneaky on ye
Jodie's answers 6:12 - 8:05 pretty succinctly sum up first, my reaction to the Thirteenth Doctor; and then second, exactly why I fell in love with the show as soon as I watched my first episode back in 2005 :') (also I agree, Eccleston's jacket was fantastic ;D)
8:46 this is hilarious in hindsight
Loved every Yaz and 13th interaction. They're so cute
I'm hoping expanded media explore their adventures straight after revolution of the daleks and before they meet Daniel lewis
I would kill to see Jodie dressed as 7 and Mandip dressed as Ace! Somebody make this happen!!
Yes! ❤❤
Omg yes please😍😍😍 Someone get them costumes when they go to their next convention (f*ck you covid)
Dude they’re wonderful haha. The Doctor & Yaz are great
I really wish that the writing had been better in the last three seasons because Jodie was so good in the role and I love her so much. I feel like the actors were given so little to work with and still managed to make me enjoy their performances.
"I would never exterminate the Master"
And then the death particle happened
She has one more episode left which is very sad and bitter sweet. I loved her Doctor the most. Grew up watching this series fell in love with it when David Tennant was playing the doctor after him I wasn't that attached to any dr until her. Yh the writing was off but HER as the doctor was marvelous! Jodie Whittaker was THE PERFECT doctor castings EVER. I wouldn't want any other actress to play the first female doctor. Her ACTING is out of this universe. I hope after this is all over and after her baby is born she will comeback to the industry with a great project, and she gets many more big projects in the future. Hopefully she will return as the doctor in the future as well. I can't end this without saying that Yaz was well casted as well Mandip did a splendid job. Gonna miss these two working together. I'm heartbroken to let them both go but Can't wait for the future. She will be MY Doctor forever.
I’m from Huddersfield too, that was a great moment 😂
I’m so glad Jodie doesn’t do social media. Some Doctor Who “fans” are not very nice people.
ikr i was so worried she and the cast would see all the hate but may...be she wouldve been less exposed to it?
Absolutely love them
@@MichaelM28 they won ur obsessed
@@MichaelM28 go get a life go back the rasicted and sexisted bowlestrek the doctor who Fandom not for you
Love them too! ❤❤
Favourite episodes defo Village of the angels and last seasons Fugitive of the judoon which was best dr who episode in about 40 odd years 😁
I love Jodie Whittaker as doctor who
Sad. No one else does. Maybe that's why they took her face off the front of the annual? And why the viewing figures for last night's 'special' were the lowest ever. She's NOT the Doctor. No for MOST people anyway.
@@bookcollector538 LOL.
I love her too!
I would've loved her too.. If it weren't for absolute horrible writing therefore horrible acting.
@@lolasum_sumi_san I think the writing was more of the problem than the acting during Jodie Whittaker's tenure
God I love them SO MUCH!
@@MichaelM28 Well you can't expect everyone to have such refined taste as yourself my good sir. :)
@@MichaelM28 Dumbo your just rasicted and sexisted jodie whittaker is one the best best British actors fact
They are amazing!!! ❤❤
Her reaction to him being from Huddersfield
Me too hahah
Love these two so much
jodie I’m so sad because I live 2 hours away and I love you like your the best doctor ever and so is Yasmine as the best companion LOLLL- sienna
I'd have loved a season with the two of them after the big feelings reveal. I'd also like, just once, to se the Doctor be the one crushing on a companion and trying to hide it. I feel these two would have been great for that.
great interview,nice to see these lovely ladies
Tbh, if season 1 and 2 had the quality of writing the last season did AND made more of the relationship between The Doctor and Yaz, I think it would have been an awesome 3 seasons. However better late than never.
Doctor Who Has Been Around For 60 Years and I Find That Every Doctor Has Their Own Personality & Alot Of The Stories Have Their Own Personal Moments. Romana , Sarah Jane, Nyssa, Lela, All Had Interesting Adventures and Stories With The Doctor, Ace Was A Different Companion Than The Rest She Was Always The One With The Explosives On Hand In Her Backpack. Each Companion Has A Different Style & Personality That is Unique To The Series, Tom Baker Was Definitely One Of The Best Incarnations of The Doctor, Sylvester McCoy Also Was Very Different From The Rest With His Persona He Was Great For The Series Also. I Think That Given The Chance The 8Th Doctor Would Have Been Fabulous Also.
my fav moment is at the beginning of flux, when 13 & yas are hanging upside down about to die bantering about whose fault this situation is ❤️ 😁 perfect vibe
This last series was amazing! My fav episode was with Kate-I realized Kate always knew she was seeing the Doctor without being told.
And the NYE episode reminded me of “Groundhog Day” from a Doctor Who perspective. Truly brilliant, IMO. I can’t think of another writer who could have done that. Of course, no one else could have written Cubed or 42 (Doctor Who episodes), either.
Sorry to see Jodi go.
I'm hoping Jodie Whittaker goes out with a bang💥
2:50
i just... i love you, Jodie. Ilysm
“Near the big ASDA” is such a typical British thing to say 😂😂
jodie's outfit looks like something the doctor would wear
I just love them so much 😭
Me too! ❤❤
Thanks for this, most entertaining!
Mandip was awesome she’s so adorable in real life
I love Jodie so much. I wish we had had her longer. I don’t hate the chibnall era but I really wanted an opportunity for her to do more and I am so mad we got cheated out of seeing her with River
loved this! going to miss these two so much!
No one else is. They've ruined the show. How were the viewing figures for last night by the way?
@@blastfromthepast8344 why are you replying to every comment saying this .. do you have nothing better to do?? lmao embarrassing
@@cat-zm6tc Why embarrassing? Jodie Whittaker is embarrassing. How were the viewing figures, by the way? LMAO.
@@blastfromthepast8344 because ur sitting here talking about someone you don’t like 😭😭 like i’m sad for you. be happy! go watch a video of someone you like and enjoy it instead of wasting ur time lol
@@blastfromthepast8344 why tf would i know the viewing figures i don’t work for the bbc 😭 and idrc?? you can dislike jodie sure i’m just confused why ur spending ur time thinking and commenting about someone you don’t like LOL
Ace and Sylvester for the win. Love it!
they're so adorable
Jodie and Mandip!!!! Can't wait for New Years! Well the day after New Years since I buy it on Amazon.
This is great! I enjoyed Eve of the Dale's. Aisling Bee is always so good. I loved the loves revealed in it. I have pretty much loved every episode of Doctor Who that I have seen. I first watched it when I was 8. I am now 53. 💜💜💜 I agree about Ace's style. I still dress that way. 😁
thasmin shippers going fucking mental every time anyone says the special is "romance"
edit: turns out we were right to-
CONGRATS THEYRE CANONNNNN
@@7barsofchocolate I KNOW AHSHAHDHTJEHT
“He’s done nowt to you as Jodie!”
Love you two, thanks
I love these two so much haha, such fun energy
As a gay woman myself I loved the portrayal of Bill. She was a young woman who happened to be gay.
Straight people sexuality doesn't have a big thing made about it. So why shoybit be any different without the LGBT community. Her love story with Heather was treated the same as a straight persons. It was lovely.
She also wasn't the stereo typical lesbian. She wore trousers. But so do straight women. She was still femanine.
I just feel we didn't see enough of Bill. I'd have loved her to have met the 13th. Not for any kind of love thing between them. Just for her to see a different side of the Doctor.
They have 1000 times the amount of chemistry in this interview than any episode!
Oods aren’t villains….they were hypnotised by the devil and only went rouge cause humans were cutting there brains off…….
Danvanista is obviously my favourite 😁🥰🥰 This is a wonderful interview 🥰🥰
She said that about the scarf but I’ve seen a photo of her as the doctor with a scarf! I think it’s season 12.
Wish I grew up watching Doctor Who because I feel as if I have missed out on so so much
I love these two both as people and the characters. A fantastic addition to the Whovian universe. As to my fave bit? Definitely the random mattress in the console room from episode 1 of Flux 😂
That set a lot of us thasmin shippers off on a rant 😂
it's random and weird, but i really love the way Jodie consistently licks her lips between questions. not just in this interview, but in all of them, for all her life. it's a thing she has always done, and i love it
Jodie Whittaker says the Doctor "wouldn't exterminate anyone" ... but her character just used the Flux to genocide 3 races ... so that's just a little bit confusing. Unless the rumors are true that she's been secretly playing the Valeyard all along?
If the two were like this in the show, it be 10000000000% more entertaining than what we have
Say what you will about The Thirteenth Doctor and Yasmin Khan. But Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill were trying really hard in their roles. It's just the writing didn't do their characters any favors.
NOPE 👎 They were shit
I bloody LOVE their accents hahahah
Jodie was fr struggling for that answer lol but I'll give it to them they didn't even flinch when asked
Mandip Gill herself is a far better character than Yaz.
I really like Jodie, I wish that Chibnall wasn't directing all of her stuff because I feel like she could have really shined if it wasn't for poor writing.
If they do a season 25 Blu ray box set Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill should be in behind the sofa
1:26 Same tbh 😂
