Last year, it was announced that Jodie Whittaker would take on the iconic starring role of BBC One’s Doctor Who.

Speaking about playing the Doctor, the critically-acclaimed actor said: “It feels completely overwhelming, as a feminist, as a woman, as an actor, as a human, as someone who wants to continually push themselves and challenge themselves, and not be boxed in by what you’re told you can and can’t be.

“This is a really exciting time, and Doctor Who represents everything that’s exciting about change,” she said, adding: “The fans have lived through so many changes, and this is only a new, different one, not a fearful one.”

Since then, we’ve been given a glimpse of Whittaker’s costume – and learned that she will have not one, not two, but three companions as she travels the galaxy in her Tardis.

Now, at long last, the new cast have been shown in action for the first time: a new trailer has aired at San Diego Comic Con.
