Jodie Whittaker will face her final battles as the Time Lord in one last special episode of Doctor Who to mark the BBC’s centenary. The actress, 40, became the first woman to portray the Doctor when she took over the role from Peter Capaldi in 2017.
The feature-length programme airing this evening (October 23), titled The Power Of The Doctor, will bring an end to her time in the sci-fi series as the 13th iteration of the character. Her final episode is the last of three specials to air this year and will see the Doctor fight for her existence against some of her deadliest enemies: The Master, the Daleks and the Cybermen.
This will be the first time the three classic adversaries of the Doctor all feature in a single story since the show returned to BBC One in 2005. The Time Lord will face further issues, including deciphering who is attacking a speeding bullet train on the edges of a distant galaxy, and why seismologists are going missing from 21st century Earth.
