Doctor Who Full Panel At San Diego Comic Con 2018

Thank you to the Doctor Who YouTube channel for uploading the entirety of the panel. I love Jodie ever since St Trinian's and I'm so ecstatic during the reveal that she is the new Doctor. Best of luck to Jodie and I'm so excited to watch your first episode!!

Also, I love this part of the panel (I've taken the Uhs, Uhms, You Know, etc and paraphrased/shortcut the questions when I transcribed it):

Question: Any girl things for The Doctor?

Jodie: The thing about this role, which is why it's so amazing for any actor to play the role, is that essentially gender is irrelevant and that's completely liberating. As a woman, who isn't a genre, it's just a woman, I've never approached a role from thinking "How would a woman do this?" I've just done it from my perspective. But the wonderful thing about playing The Doctor is I'm playing an alien so all those rules are kind of irrelevant to the approach but what you do notice [is] sometimes within episodes the people's response is different because they're speaking to a woman. And that's interesting and that's why this role will continue to be layered and fascinating to play because, I suppose, of everyone else.

Question: Core tenants of The Doctor.

Jodie: To me, The Doctor is a pillar of hope and striving for brightness and inclusion.
