The first series of Doctor Who to star a woman in the leading role of the Time Lord has wrapped production.
It was announced that Jodie Whittaker would take over the part from Peter Capaldi a year ago and the first trailer for the upcoming series was unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con last month.
A photo on the show’s official Twitter page showed a clapperboard with the words “That’s a wrap!” written on it.
The short clip of footage from the highly anticipated series began with Whittaker’s Doctor being blown out of the Tardis and into space.
It then moved on to brief glimpses of different worlds and the new companions – Mandip Gill, Tosin Cole and Bradley Walsh – in action.
A voiceover from Whittaker – the first ever female Doctor – said: “All of this is new to me. New faces. New worlds. New times. So if I ask really, really nicely, would you be my new best friends?”
On screen, Whittaker added: “This is going to be fun.”
Following the trailer, Whittaker then unveiled her new sonic screwdriver on stage, showing off the silver and red device to fans.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
