Most Sexist And Hilarious Reactions To Doctor Who's First Female Doctor

After 26 seasons and 54 years since its premiere in 1963, Doctor Who has finally announced its first ever female doctor.

The teaser trailer which dropped overnight revealed actress Jodie Whittaker, who stars on Broadchurch, has snagged the lead role.

Jodi will be taking over from Peter Capaldi, who’s been the doctor since 2013 and will leave during this year’s Christmas special.
