Hitting newsstands today is the latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine, where, contained within its glossy pages of goodness, are interviews with the new Doctor Jodie Whittaker and showrunner Chris Chibnall.
Chatting with DWM in its cover feature ‘Jodie Whittaker is the Doctor’ the new Doctor shared a few details behind her eye-catching new clothing:
“There is no other job in the world like this. The very first meeting (with costume designer Ray Holman) was all very secret and incognito. As we were talking I was completely distracted by the colour of the wallpaper behind us. I told Roy I absolutely loved that colour, and that’s the colour of the trousers.”
Then there’s a few reassurances from former Broadchurch creator and new Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall, who cannot wait to introduce this new era for the show:
“What’s evident is Doctor Who’s extraordinary ability to embrace change while remaining exactly the same show that people love.”
