Being announced as the next person to take up the mantle in July 2017 after the Wimbledon finale, Jodie Whittaker was the first woman to be cast as The Doctor.
Her tenure lasted five years, spanning three seasons and a year of specials, and featured the creation of a bunch of new monsters (e.g. the Pting, the Lupari, and The Solitract), the return of some classic friends and foes (e.g. Jack Harkness, the Judoon, and the Weeping Angels), and the reinvention of some truly classic foes, breathing new life into monsters we know and love (e.g. the Spy Master, the Cyber-Lords, the security drone Daleks).
She also featured in many EU appearences, for example:
- DWM comics
- Doctor Who Redacted
- Titan Comics
- Team TARDIS Diaries
- BBC Books
And many more…
And with Big Finish having acquired the license to use things from her era, we’re soon to be seeing more of her era than ever, between the recently released The Fugitive Doctor, Call Me Master, and the latest Classic Doctors, New Monsters set, and the upcoming Thirteenth Doctor Adventures.
It should be noted that we do already have a thread for Thirteenth Doctor/Chibnell Era Positivity, this thread is not intended to replace that thread, or to be a thread devoted purely to criticism or negativity surrounding the era. This thread is intended for general discussion of the era and its expanded materials, containing both positivity and critique. If you don’t to see any criticism towards the era (due to the overwhelming negativity a lot of it received at tie of airing), that’s completely fair, there’s nothing wrong with that at all, that’s why the other thread exists, just ignore this one!!
