The brand new poster for Doctor Who was revealed on Friday.
Lead stars Jodie Whittaker, Mandip Gill, Tosin Cole and Bradley Walsh returned to their roles in the exciting preview for series 12, which will be released in 2020.
The actress, 37, transformed into the thirteenth Timelord once again, as she dressed in her characters signature look of a white-and-blue raincoat, a striped jumper, and her blue trousers with braces.

Same. The show bl0ws, the stories bl0w, the characters bl0w - Tom Baker reruns for me.
The show bombed last year and will do so again. They care little about ratings nowadays.
Complete with rainbow accents on the outfit... wonder if that was an accident (eye roll).
Doctor Who pays homage to The Village People.
Is his/her name Dr Who?
I was watching Tom Baker in the role when I was in college in the 70s. Has the show sucked since then?
David Tennant and Matt Smith were great as the Dr. It was a great run of funny, touching sci-fi with fun stories and special effects that were getting better, but when the producers jumped off the woke cliff, I stood back and watched them fall. No Ms. Who for me, no thanks.
BBC has a talent for taking winning shows and killing them by making ‘improvements’. Dr Who, Top Gear, the Great British Baking Show are three examples that come to mind. I guess when everyone who owns a TV in Britain helps to pay the bills, they don’t have to worry about ratings.
The next one will be a tranny: Dr. What?
“Tom Baker reruns for me.”
Best. Doctor. Ever.
Methinks a tranny Dr Who would be Dr Eeeeuuuuuuu!
I’m old enough to remember when I actually respected the BBC.
But then again, I was naive enough to also respect our press and gubmit.
Silly me.
Don’t blame the BBC for the changes to The Great British Baking Show. That show’s producers followed the money and took it to Channel 4. The talent, except Paul, opted to stay with BBC.
I was never a Dr Who fan....but did quite enjoy Matt Smith & Amy Pond episodes after accidentally discovering a short YouTube clip of the final scene of the van Gogh episode.
Pandering desperation thinking Gender Bending will fix the ratings issue.. which is due to weak and poor stories for years.... The gender bending got a quick pop, but the writing got even worse....
Pandering never solves the real problem.
I thought the Christopher Eccleston episodes were good.
The first two Drs after the Reboot were pretty good... the major decline started with Smith, and it hasn’t recovered since...
Writing has gone downhill every year.... and as a result... so have the ratings...
Attempted to Gender Bend to fix it, but sadly the writing got even worse...
The first two doctors after the reboot were well written and executed... Matt Smith time was a market decline in writing, and its continued down ever since... The Gender Bender pandering didn’t solve their problems... writing has gotten even worse....
Until they admit the problems, the show isn’t going to improve, regardless of what they do with the actor playing it.
