- Hi I'm Jodie Whittaker,
and this is Doctor Who Support.
[electricity buzzing]
[upbeat music]
So here we go.
Bryn Hodgen has asked,
if I was able to ask the doctor,
well you can,
a question it would be how do you manage to balance a home,
slash, Time Lord lifestyle?
I would say it creates chaos and havoc and epic adventure
but that is all the things you want from life.
Hope that answers your question Bryn.
Joff has asked,
you have a TARDIS and know how to pilot it.
Where, when would you go?
Okay, I think I would go to Neptune
in 50 years just to see if our lessons have been learned.
If we have perspective from Neptune
and we can look back on this beautiful universe,
have we made the right choices for all those other planets?
It's Neptune because in our solar system it's
the furthest away if we're not counting Pluto.
So I think it would give
an excellent sense of perspective.
That's what I would do.
Also, Neptune's dark and stormy
and I quite like a bit of atmosphere.
Ryan Smith has asked,
Is the Doctor ever going to oil
that squeaky hinge on the TARDIS door?
I've got so many important things
to be doing every day like saving the universe,
I've got to leave that to somebody else.
Heather Roca has asked,
odd thought for the day,
does the Doctor ever wash their clothes?
You always see them in the same outfit right?
Is there a day where they just stay
in the TARDIS in some PJs
and wait for their clothes to be washed?
No, I just don't think,
particularly my Doctor,
I don't think I have the patience for that.
I think I've developed such an extraordinary outfit
that it's self cleaning.
Michael Hardy, what the hell,
in capital letters,
has happened to Gallifrey?
Do you think I'm gonna spoil that now?
I am not.
Lys @CoveredinBees67 has asked,
has the 13th Doctor used any aliases?
Doctor Who I wanna know
what she will call herself
when she can't say that she's the Doctor?
So, well I've got an excellent gadget
called a psychic paper
and when I want to be a little bit sneaky
and have a completely different alias
I just flash my psychic paper
and nine times out of 10
it gives a wonderful description
of what I think would be an appropriate way
for me to sneak into a building
if I don't want to reveal
that I am a Time Lord with two hearts.
Shawn Scott Smith,
Doctor Who was fantastic last night, thank you.
Has anyone ever sprouted a fan theory
that the Doctor and the Master
are the same being like a split personality?
I'd believe it.
I've never heard that.
That might be one of those things
that's a very big conversation online that I've missed.
I believe wholeheartedly that we are not the same person,
but you can disagree,
but I would say,
I would say not.
Hi Marie, your question is,
anyone else want to give the Doctor a hug?
No, just me?
Well, you can because I love a hug,
I'm very tactile.
This is from Who Fan Site,
Where do you think the 13th Doctor got those goggles from?
They were in "The Woman Who Fell to Earth"
and now they're in the new series.
Just curious what do you think?
Well, they were found
by our extraordinary costume designer, Ray Holman.
And they were loved so much by Jamie Childs,
the director of "The Woman Who Fell to Earth"
and they got such a fantastic response
that I think we just like,
we brought them back again.
But what I like to think of them as is my nod to Doc Brown
and if you don't know who that is
[Jodie sighs deeply]
"Back to the Future".
Giant Think Hole of Fun,
#JodieWhittaker is becoming another great #DoctorWho
but it's always going to bother me
that she was able to build a new Sonic screwdriver.
How did she build the software?
She couldn't do that.
She could I know she,
we are so clever sometimes.
I was able to because I was able
to steal something from Tim Shaw
that helped me along the way.
I was also in Sheffield
and they have excellent steel.
And those were all the things that I needed
and a little bit of Who-belief in myself
that got me that brand new Sonic
that works perfectly.
[electricity buzzing]
Amy, now she has asked,
Why is the Doctor being so secretive
about where she is from?
Now, I would say it's a Pandora's box
to ask the Doctor where they're from.
And I think particularity knowing how curious Ryan,
Yaz and Graham are they wouldn't accept necessarily
the one or two-word answer
that I would be willing to give
without revealing so much of my
past which some of it is a joyous memory,
some of it is incredibly sad,
some of it is steeped in loss,
and I think that conversation is often too big
in the moments that they have together.
Essie has asked,
Does the Doctor have a bedroom in the TARDIS?
I'd say yeah.
I don't think it will be frequented very often
because as I've said before I'm incredibly hyper active
and I think that just,
the brain never sleeps but I would say they do.
In this season we've discovered
that there's a wardrobe hall and karaoke buses,
so I think missing out a bedroom
would be a huge error.
So, Santa Major Mario SMM VA has asked,
I've always wondered if the Doctor was able
to get a cleaner for the TARDIS
what would the bill be for the inside?
I mean if you've seen episode three
of this season there's a giant tentacle
that we're moping up.
So I'd say pretty hefty, I mean,
there's custard cream crumbs on the floor,
there's muddy footprints.
I don't have lots of time to do cleaning.
I'm not a complete scruff
but I'd say it probably be quite a hefty bill.
Markashyyyk, how can the Sonic screwdriver work on a rope
when it can't even work
on something as basic as wood?
God, you are rude about my Sonic.
My Sonic's brilliant.
I'm not even going to comment on it,
it's absolutely flawless in my opinion.
Howard Nelson has asked,
How many lives does a Gallifreyan cat have?
I will never sleep again.
Gallifreyan cat, I mean, infinite,
let's give it that to really blow your mind.
Have Yourself a Cookie Little Christmas
Johnboy_Cook has asked,
so genuinely question for all Whovians,
how long have you been a fan
when you realize that the rhythm
of the theme tune is a Time Lord double heartbeat?
Well, I say it was a reveal to me
so I'm not embarrassed to say.
Lots of things are revealed to me,
that's why I love playing the part
because every day is a learning day.
But yeah, I thought that was a beautiful addition
to the episode and it was a reveal to me.
If I'm now gonna get hounded
because I should've known that I apologize profusely.
Bethany, she's asked,
I'm thinking of getting this tattoo on my wrist,
yes my first tattoo what's everyone's opinion?
I don't have any tattoos.
I go on about it all the time.
I've got an idea for one
and I've still at 37 have not got it.
I would think very carefully
about getting a tattoo because what if you taste changes?
But as designs go it's absolutely beautiful
so I'm not discouraging the artistic work on your wrist
at all 'cause it's beautiful but I would say,
how do you know you're gonna to like it in 40 years?
I'm always curious about that with people with tattoos.
I wish I had that kind of longevity in my taste.
I'm impressed if you do.
Binger's Digest, @BBC,
can we please see 13 meet the Face of Boe?
#DoctorWho #13thdoctor #faceofboe
We cannot reveal anything that is going
to happen ever because why be a fan
of "Doctor Who" if you're going to have spoilers?
So, I'm not answering.
So, Type 40 Marketing,
If nothing can get into the TARDIS
how did the Kerblam! Delivery bot manage it?
Well, let's use an analogy like a vampire.
There was a signal and I accepted the signal
because I've been waiting for a delivery,
so it's a bit like it was invited in.
And because of that the hologram esc delivery bot arrived
and brought me my beautiful,
beautiful, beautiful present.
The Renaissance of Bad Ideas,
So Merry Poppins is a Time Lord, right?
Oh.
So I'm not the first female,
that's just pulled the rug hasn't it?
There we go.
Lauren has asked,
oh she hasn't,
asked she's put in quotes,
I love a laminator.
Why is 13 the most relatable?
I do love a laminator actually,
although in this day and age I don't know
how good a laminator is.
It's not ideal for recycling,
but it does keep things very clean
and if you're putting it on your wall you don't need
to put a nail in you could just put blue tacks,
so it's always really handy.
'Cause if your taste change as I've just discovered
that my taste change quite regularly 'cause I won't
be getting a tattoo soon,
you can just peel off a laminator off the floor
from blue tack.
You don't have blue tack do you?
Do you have blue tack?
All right cool.
There you go,
that's your answer.
Ryan Kennedy has asked,
How does the TARDIS always land on the flat ground?
It always lands on flat ground
because I'm an excellent pilot, also,
because we have a brilliant art department
who find really wonderful location every time they
have to build it.
And they're just helping us out,
it's a lot of people to get in there.
If it's wonky we tip it over especially
if we get Brad in there we're all tipped over.
Silentrambles, how did the Doctor survive
the fall from the atmosphere to the train?
I'd say I'd taken a huge intake of breath
and then I've really good lung capacity
to scream throughout the entire fall so that my first,
then second, my next intake of breath was done
so smoothly on the train floor
that when I bopped up into frame
that change of atmosphere had no effect on me,
artistic license.
Poppy, since when can the doctor drive a car,
she can barely drive the TARDIS?
She's getting better.
I had a few,
how shall I say this?
In my first three episodes I did attempt to land in
Sheffield in the 21st Century
and it went a little bit wrong but thank goodness
for those little errors because we ended up
in some phenomenal adventures
and witnessing some extraordinary moments in history.
So, it was a new interior.
I had to learn how to drive it but now I'm pretty flawless.
I'm also a really good driver
and it would be very hard for me,
Jodie Whittaker as the actor
to kind of fudge my extraordinary driving
into bad driving on set.
Well, I'm Jodie Whittaker
and that is it for Doctor Who Support.
I will see you in the next 900 years.
