Doctor Who number thirteen is Jodie Whittaker.  After media speculation and BBC misdirection for several years, the first female Doctor has been revealed.  The newly appointed Doctor, Jodie Whittaker, has been quoted as saying:

“To be asked to play the ultimate character, to get to play pretend in the truest form: this is why I wanted to be an actor in the first place. To be able to play someone who is literally reinvented on screen, with all the freedoms that brings: what an unbelievable opportunity. And added to that, to be the first woman in this legendary role.”

Note:  The series “Doctor Who” is a British time-travelling science-fiction television programme produced by the BBC since 1963.
