IT WAS LIKE RACING DOWN THE GARDEN ON A SPACE TARTAR, THERE
WAS A MASSIVE GUEST LIST, ME, MY OTHER HALF, AND MY KID.
IT WAS PRETTY FULL ON.
>> James: YOU DIDN'T EVEN PLAN SOME KIND OF ZOOM EXTRAVAGANZA.

THE WHAT I HAVE WARN IS FOR ZOOM TWO, AFTER.
THIS WE WILL BE-- I SHARE IT WITH ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS,
SHE-- WE HAVE TO SHARE THE GLORY.
>> James: NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT DOCTOR WHO.
OBVIOUSLY THE SHOW IS MASSIVE.
IS THERE ANYONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW IT?
IT IS HARD TO PUT INTO REAL TERMS WHAT IT MEANS TO EXPAND.
NOW THAT THE SHOW WILL BE STREAMING ON HBO MAX FOR ANYONE
WHO HASN'T CAUGHT UP WITH IT, DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, JODIE,
YOU ARE THE CURRENT DOCTOR RIGHT NOW.
EXPLAIN TO THE VIEWERS WATCHING WHAT DOCTOR WHO IS, CAN YOU
SUMMARIZE IT IN 30 SECONDS.
>> I WOULD SUMMARIZE IT BY SAYING YOU ARE GOING TO GET
SEASON ONE TO 1 1-RBGS START WITH SEASON 11.
>> I WOULD GO WITH SEASON TWO, IS WHERE IT REALLY COME AS LIVE.
>> I THINK WHEN YOU INTRODUCE YOU GAICH ME TOP BILLING, YOU

>> AND INTRODUCING.
>> YEAH.
>> James: WHAT YOU ARE WATCHING RIGHT NOW, LET ME TALK
TO THE VIEWERS AT HOME, WHAT YOU ARE WATCHING RIGHT NOW IS TWO
BRILLIANT ACTORS THAT HAVE BEEN STARVED OF ATTENTION FOR THREE
MONTHS.
AND THE SLIGHTEST GLIMPSE IS TO COME ABOUT BILLK AND-- BUT THE
SHOW SIN CREDIBLE.
DAVID, WHEN YOU GOT THE CALL TO BE DOCTOR WHO, I KNOW YOU WERE A
MASSIVE FAN OF THE SHOW GROWING UP.
WHAT WAS THAT MOMENT LIKE FOR YOU?
>> WELL, IT IS PART OF OUR CULTURAL HERITAGE IN THIS
COUNTRY.
THIS SHOW HAS BEEN SINCE 1963.
SO JUST ABOUT EVERYONE ALIVE IN BRITAIN HAS GROWN UP WITH IT OR
HAD IT IN THEIR LIFE.
SO IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE BEING HANDED SOMETHING VERY-- LIKE YOU
SAID, SOMETHING I LOVED.
I HAD DOCTOR WHO POST ARES ON MY WALL, I CUED TO MEET TOM BAKER
AND GET HIM TO SIGN PIE BOOK WHEN I WAS A KID.
IT WAS A BIG DEAL TO ME.
SO THERE IS A DOUBLE EDGED SWORD TO THAT BECAUSE ST WONDERFUL AND
THRILLING TO BE PART OF THAT THING THAT MEANS SO MUCH TO YOU,
BUT YOU ALSO DON'T WANT TO BREAK IT YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT YOUR
EIGHT YEAR OLD SELF, VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU KEEP IT
GOING.
>> James: HOW HARD WAS IT FOR YOU, BECAUSE DID YOU DO THREE
SEASONS ON THE SHOW.
>> I DID THREE AND THEN SOME MORE SPECIALS.
>> James: HOW HARD WAS IT FOR YOU TO WALK AWAY FROM A ROLE AND
A CHARACTER THAT MEANT SO MUCH TO YOU?
>> IT WAS REALLY TOUGH BECAUSE I WAS HAVING SUCH A GOOD TIME.
BUT THAT IS SORT OF WHAT DE FINED IT FOR ME.
I KIND OF THOUGHT, I WANT TO ALWAYS LOOK BACK ON THIS AS
SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL AND SOMETHING THAT WAS ALWAYS FUN.
AND I WANTED TO GET OUT BEFORE IT BECAME A CHORE, BEFORE I
THOUGHT OH, I HAVE TO GO TO WORK TODAY.
AND I NEVER GOT THERE.
IT ALWAYS FELT LIKE FUN, EXCITING.
ST NOT REALLY LIKE ANY OTHER JOB AS JODIE CAN ATTEST.
>> James: JODIE, YOU ARE THE FIRST FEMALE DOCTOR AND WHEN IT
GOT ANNOUNCED IT WAS THE BIGGEST NEWS STORY IN THE COUNTRY.
IT WAS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF EVERY NEWSPAPER, YOU KNOW,
INTERNET, CHAT ROOMS AND THEORIES AND ALL THOSE THINGS.
I KNOW THAT DAVID WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE THAT YOU CALLED.
>> WELL, YES, THAT WAS LICK A SNEAKY PREVIOUS CALL.
>> James: TELL ME ABOUT THAT PHONE CALL.
>> WELL, IT WAS BRILLIANTLY SET OFF BY THE SHOW RUNNER WHO
WROTE-- BROUGHT OUR FRIPPEDSHIP TOGETHER AND THEN HE SAID I
THINK I AM SAID TO DAVID F IT IS OKAY CAN I GIVE THE NEXT DOCTOR
YOUR NUMBER AND THEY'RE GOING TO RING YA.
AND SO THEN I POP UP AND HE'S LIKE HELLO?
>> AM I ABOUT TO BE THE FLOTTING HILL OPENING A DOOR, LIKE HI NO
IDEA WHAT WAS TO COME BECAUSE ALL I COULD THINK OF WAS THE
KIND OF LIKE YOU SAY THE WORST CASE SCENARIO, ARE YOU ABOUT TO
SINK THE SHIP THAT HAS BEEN GOING SO LONG AND HAS BEEN SUCH
A FLAGSHIP SHOW.
BUT YOU DON'T DO ANY FILMING BEFORE YOU ARE ANNOUNCED.
>> James: YES, OF COURSE.
>> SO YOU HEAR ALL THE CHAT, YOU GET EVERYONE'S OPINION, BEFORE
YOU DO IT BUT IT WAS, THE BEST THING DAVID SAID AND THE THING
THAT I WOULD PASS ON TO THE NEXT DOCTOR IS LIKE ST THE BEST MOST
INCREDIBE JOURNEY BUT IT CAN'T BE DESCRIBED.
AND ONCE ARE YOU IN T YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T DESCRIBE T BUT IT IS
LIKE THIS UNWRITTEN CODE IN OUR LITTLE TINY FAMILY OF PEOPLE
THAT KNOWS WHAT THIS IS LIKE.
>> James: I MEAN THE SHOW HAS THE MOST PASSIONATE FAN BASE,
WHOVUANS AS THEY ARE KNOWN.
AND AS FAR AS I CAN SAY IN THE TINY SORT OF LITTLE PATCHES OF
THAT WORLD, THEY ARE A GLORIOUS BUNCH OF PEOPLE.
THEY'RE FANDOM IS KIND OF THE MOST JOYOUS AND CELEBRATORY, I
FOUND IT TO BE.
DAVID, WHAT HAVE BEEN SOME OF YOUR MOST INTERESTING
INTERACTIONS WITH THE MOST PASSIONATE FANS?
>> I THINK FOR ME, BECAUSE THE THING, WHEN I WAS A KID, THE
THING THAT, WHY I THINK THE SHOW MEANT SO MUCH TO ME WAS THAT THE
DOCTOR WAS NEVER-- HE WAS THE HERO BUT HE WASN'T A JOCK, YOU
KNOW.
AND I CERTAINLY WASN'T, WITH MY NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE GLASSES
THAT WERE BOUND BECAUSE I BROCK THEM EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS.
I WAS NEVER THAT KIND OF SPORTY KIND OF VER AISLE TYPE SO THE
DOCTOR WAS SOMEONE I COULD ASPIRE TO BE.
AND HE WAS CELEBRATED BECAUSE HE IS CLEVER, BECAUSE HE IS CLEVER
AND KIND.
AND THAT'S SUCH A WONDERFUL THING FOR A CHARACTER TO
REPRESENT.
AND WHEN YOU MEET LITTLE KIDS WHO ARE HAVING THAT EXPERIENCE
THAT I HAD AS A LITTLE BOY, THAT IS WHAT I FIND MOST NERVING, I
THINK.
>> James: JODIE, I THINK IT MUST BE WONDERFUL FOR THE FIRST
TIME WITH THIS CHARACTER TO BE MEETING YOUNG GIRLS WHO ARE
SUDDENLY SEEING THEMSEES IN THE DOCTOR, HAVE YOU FOUND THAT
TO BE A REGULAR OCCURRENCE.
>> YEAH, IT IS REALLY-- WHEN WE ARE-- A LOT OF THE TIME ARE YOU
SHOOTING IN REALLY SECRET LOCATIONS.
THE TIME THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BE OUT AND ABOUT AND YOU GET
LIKE YOU SAY LITTLE GIRLS WHO ARE DRESSED AS THE DOCTOR AND
THEY HAVEN'T HAD TO CHOP THEIR HAIR OFF OR THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY
ARE IN A COSTUME THAT FEELS AT ONE WITH THEM AS MUCH AS IT
WOULD WITH A LITTLE BOY.
AND I THINK AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT IS BRILLIANT.
MYEACTIONS ARE ALWAYS BIGGER THAN THE OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE I
AM REALLY EMOTIONAL, I CRY ALL THE TIME.
AND I'M SUCH A FAN GIRL ANYWAY, IF I SEE ANYONE THAT I AM LIKE
SLIGHTLY-- I WILL BEIKE-- SO A GIRL CYCLED PAST, SPEEDED PAST
IN A T-SHIRT, OH MY GOD.
HEY, HEY, HEY, COME HERE.
AND I WAS LIKE, IT'S ME.
BUT I WAS LIKE IT'S BRILLIANT.
I WAS JUST LIKE-- .
>> James: I STARTED THIS QUESTION WITH IT MUST BE AMAZING
FOR YOUNG GIRLS TO SEE THEMSELVES IN YOUR NOW YOUNG
GIRLS ARE LIKE I KNOW WHATNOT TO DO.
>> YEAH.
I MEAN THE BEST THING IS, IT'S LIKE I'VE NEVER TRIED TO BE TOO
COOL FOR SCHOOL, YOU KNOW.
I'VE GONE THAT, AND RUN WITH IT.
REGGIE, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR ANY OF OUR GUESTS.
>> Reggie: YES, I DO, TOPT'S QUESTION GOES TO, LET'S TAKE IT
FOR BOTH OF OUR DOCTORS OKAY, DOUBLE DOCTOR, IF YOU FOUND
YOURSELF FLYING AND YOU GOT REALLYK REALLY HUNGRY, WHAT DO
YOU THINK YOU WOULD BRING.
>> James: GOOD QUESTION.
>> M & M'S.
>> PROSECO.
>> James: M & M AND PROSECCO, JUST IN CASE YOU WEREN'T AWARE
THAT WE ARE TALKING TO TWO BRITISH PEOPLE; IS THAT CORRECT?
>> Reggie: THAT'S ACTUALLY CORRECT TIMES TWO.
>> James: IT IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
