Fans love new Doctor Who Jodie Whittaker

From Morning Report, 8:55 am on 9 October 2018

The Doctor's back and audiences are loving her. Jodie Whittaker plays the time-travelling, world-saving, regenerating alien in the latest series of Doctor Who. About 8.2 million people watched Whittaker's debut on Monday which beat the debuts of her predecessors David Tennant, Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi. One of those watching last night was Whovian Rochelle Scoones. She has her own life-size Dalek and a Dalek tattoo - and thinks the decision to have a woman play her hero is an excellent choice.
