Jodie Whittaker joined host Dermot O’Leary on his BBC Radio 2 Saturday Breakfast show to talk about her experience of being the Thirteenth Doctor so far.
She spoke to Dermot about the filming of the upcoming series, joking that new companion Bradley Walsh is “the most immature person I’ve ever met, which is saying a lot coming from me, and he talks more than me, which is an award in itself, and I’ve never laughed so much throughout nine months – he’s absolutely brilliant.”
Jodie also spoke about her trip to San Diego Comic Con earlier this year, saying: “I found it so exciting because I’m a massive fan of cinema and television and characters and worlds, and so to see an event that is all about everyone from everywhere celebrating that in the most imaginative way – like the costumes are amazing, like you’re driving […] through the streets where you see all the crowds walking through San Diego, going for lunch dressed as Moana and Maui, it’s absolutely brilliant, and then the times when you see the versions of your character, whether it be previous Doctors or them embracing your costume […] it’s overwhelming but it’s fun.”
