This promo video confirmed the casting of Jodie Whittaker as the 13th Doctor.
She is destined to be an utterly iconic Doctor.
We hope viewers will enjoy what we have in store for the continuation of the story.
What the BBC was after was risk and boldness, Chibnall explained toTelevisionmagazine (whichCultBoxreported online).
He also mentioned that he has a daring conceit up his sleeve, which could well fit that brief.
I had ideas about what I wanted to do with it, Chibnall teased.
Chibnalls appointment wasnt all plain sailing, though.

The aliens are now as emotionally complex as the humans, and I was really excited by that.
Mark says: What was really crucial in my decision to direct the show was Chris Chibnall.
Im a huge fan of his and I like the way he sees the world.
He has this ability to entertain and also deliver truths questions, too about who we are.
And he does it all with a hint of a smile.
Im about to do an episode ofDoctor Who.

You have to enjoy every moment of it or youre in the wrong field.

Can I play a baddie?'
There are no tears from my Doctor, no.
That would be a huge statement.
How exciting that would be!
Each Doctor needs to have their own journey, Chibnall went on to muse.
I think Peters Doctor came into the world asking, Am I a good man?
and questioning his self-identity.
Jodies Doctor is definitely more outward-looking.
Any potential romances in series 11 were ruled out during the interview, too.
