Doctor Who is a British science fiction television programme produced by the BBC since 1963. The programme depicts the adventures of a Time Lord called "the Doctor", an extraterrestrial being, to all appearances human. The Doctor explores the universe in a time-travelling space ship called the TARDIS. Its exterior appears as a blue British police box, which was a common sight in Britain in 1963 when the series first aired. Accompanied by a number of companions, the Doctor combats a variety of foes while working to save civilisations and help people in need.

The show is a significant part of British popular culture, and elsewhere it has gained a cult following. It has influenced generations of British television professionals, many of whom grew up watching the series. The programme originally ran from 1963 to 1989. There was an unsuccessful attempt to revive regular production in 1996 with a backdoor pilot, in the form of a television film titled Doctor Who. The programme was relaunched in 2005, and since then has been produced in-house by BBC Wales in Cardiff. Doctor Who has also spawned numerous spin-offs, including comic books, films, novels, audio dramas, and the television series Torchwood (2006–2011), The Sarah Jane Adventures (2007–2011), K-9 (2009–2010), and Class (2016), and has been the subject of many parodies and references in popular culture.

Thirteen actors have headlined the series as the Doctor. The transition from one actor to another is written into the plot of the show with the concept of regeneration into a new incarnation, a plot device in which a Time Lord "transforms" into a new body when the current one is too badly harmed to heal normally. Each actor's portrayal is unique, but all represent stages in the life of the same character, and together, they form a single lifetime with a single narrative. The time-travelling feature of the plot means that different incarnations of the Doctor occasionally meet. The Doctor is currently portrayed by Jodie Whittaker, who became the first woman to play the role after Peter Capaldi's exit in the 2017 Christmas special "Twice Upon a Time".

The twelfth series of the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who premiered on 1 January 2020 and aired through to 1 March 2020. It is the second to be led by Chris Chibnall as head writer and executive producer, alongside executive producer Matt Strevens, the twelfth to air after the programme's revival in 2005, and the thirty-eighth season overall. The twelfth series was broadcast on Sundays, except for the premiere episode, continuing on from the eleventh series, after regular episodes of the revived era have previously been broadcast on Saturdays. The series was preceded by a New Year's Day special episode in 2019, "Resolution", instead of the traditional annual Christmas special.

Jodie Whittaker returns for her second series as the Thirteenth Doctor, an incarnation of the Doctor, an alien Time Lord who travels through time and space in the TARDIS, which appears from the outside to be a British police box. It also stars Bradley Walsh, Tosin Cole and Mandip Gill as the Doctor's travelling companions, Graham O'Brien, Ryan Sinclair and Yasmin Khan, respectively. The series follows the Thirteenth Doctor and her companions as they meet a new incarnation of the Master and his destruction of Gallifrey, the return of Jack Harkness, the appearance of an unknown incarnation of the Doctor from before the Time War, the Cybermen, and the secret of the "Timeless Child".

The ten episodes were directed by Jamie Magnus Stone, Lee Haven Jones, Nida Manzoor and Emma Sullivan. Alongside Chibnall, who wrote four of the scripts and co-wrote a further three, the writers include Ed Hime, Pete McTighe and Vinay Patel, who return from writing the previous series, as well as new contributors Nina Metivier, Maxine Alderton and Charlene James.

The thirteenth series of the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who is set to premiere in 2021, after being announced in November 2019. The series will be the third to be led by Chris Chibnall as head writer and executive producer. This series is set to be the thirteenth to air following the programme's revival in 2005, and will be the thirty-ninth season overall. The series will consist of eight episodes.

Jodie Whittaker returns for her third series as the Thirteenth Doctor, the most recent incarnation of the Doctor, an alien Time Lord who travels through time and space in the TARDIS, which appears to be a British police box on the outside. Recording commenced in November 2020, and is set to run for ten months.

I hate feeling like this but I'm happy that Chibnall is leaving Doctor Who. He's my far the worst showrunner Doctor Who ever had and I hope the next showrunner will repair the damages Chibnall has made. Even though I'm not a fan of 13 I'm still sad to see her go as she has been given bad material by Chibnall..

[Quasarguy]

The most Chibnall thing, to leave the show and leave the new show runner to have his first series on the anniversary year.

[mtdlx]

Kinda sad for Jodie but

CHIBNALL OUT LEEETS

"YEAH DON'T MIND US WE ONLY MADE THE SHOW WHAT IT IS FOR THE PAST 50+ YEARS BUT YOU GO RIGHT AHEAD WITH YOUR INFORMATION WE'RE ANXIOUS TO HEAR ITS CONCLUSION"

[Jamestopboy]

Notice, however, it says NOTHING about Mandip Gill or John Bishop leaving, so they COULD carry over to the new Doctor as the companions.

[abbyalphonse]

I'm ambivilent about Jodie Whittaker, but Chibnall was one of the worst things to happen to New-Who

[alternatethirteenth]

Honestly? It's time. 5 years and 33 episodes... Jodie is my least favourite right now, I'm sorry to say, and it's been the last 4 years draining me. The violence of the fandom, the lacklustre scripts... So you know what? I look forward to S13 and the 3 specials, including the blockbuster. Hope Jodie goes out on a high and honestly, bye Chibs. We've known he's showrunner since JANUARY 2016!

I have hopes for showrunners and Doctors, but honestly, perhaps, just PERHAPS, in this next era the fandom can heal and unite in some ways for a less controversial era. Here's to the future.

[robertk]

i heard this on the radio and i literally fought it was April fools day. I was literally frozen. But now, whos gonna be the next doctor. we will probably get a trailer soon

[MrOllieman]

Thank Heavens for this, Jody was nothing more than average as the Dr, , and Chibnalls writing was dire, so surely after nearly running the show into the ground, the only way to go is up..(crossing fingers)

[adzinco]

would've like to see a series with 13 that wasn't done by chibanll but oh well i suppose big finish can do that. i like that the 13th doctor is leaving after series 13 and the 14th will be in series 14

[calvingalbraith]

I’m not going to lie, this news is the happiest I’ve been as a doctor who fan since 2017. Jodie could have been good under a decent showrunner but chibnall was a complete disaster. I’m hoping for a brand new writer who’s never worked on the show to be the next showrunner. As I feel the show needs a fresh start.

[DalekCaanOfSkaro]

Wishes:
Neil Gaiman: writer
Kris Marshall: The Doctor

[thetrailerfactory]

I’m sad Jodie’s leaving, (maybe time for a new show runner though)

[crazywalker]

Hopefully this means that I can watch series 14. Let’s hope for good writers and actors.

[Sam-zumr]

Thank goodness, about time. The BBC finally realized there stuffed up this previously much loved show. Good riddance, they will not be missed. Don't let the door slam you on the way out.

[ma_]

The 14th Doctor and head writer etc will be under huge pressure. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say the future of the whole show depends on them.

Chibnal's mistake (one of many) was making too many changes at once. In effect causing a clean break from its past in season 1. Subsequently he has been trying to row back on it ever since.

It is imperative that the show's new writers don't do a segment where it's "moral of the week." I don't mind it been shown through allegory. But to be so blunt doesn't make it DW. It just makes it annoying.

I don't particularly mind who is the next Doctor. Ideally someone a nerdy hero, but the writing has to be top draw.

[callummac]

John Bishop is a professional stand up comedian who fills mega stadiums and makes his fortune that way. The implication of his introduction as Dan is that he could only take on that role as COVID-19 meant his stand up gigs schedule had been postponed. Now that society in the UK is opening back up I doubt he would commit to further series. Though happy to be proved wrong. On the wider news, thank you to Chibnall & Whittaker for doing their best and bringing us Doctor Who.

[thecyborgrhino]

I wish Jodie stayed for another Series but I'm intrigued for the new specials
