Doctor Who's Jodie Whittaker is reportedly preparing to step out of the
TARDIS for good at the end of the forthcoming series of the iconic BBC show.
According to a report from The Mirror, Whittaker has allegedly shared her
intentions to step down from the lead role on the show after three years,
with one anonymous source claiming that the team is now "gearing up for a
regeneration," which will need to be filmed "at some point over the coming
months" in order to set the stage for the 14th Doctor.

The BBC has refused to comment on the rumours regarding Whittaker, who became
the 13th actor and first-ever female to portray the Time Lord after she
signed up to take on the beloved role in 2017. In response to the report, a
BBC spokesperson told Variety that they would not be commenting on "any
speculation around Jodie's future on the show."

Whittaker's co-stars Bradley Walsh and Tosin Cole made their final
appearances in the long-running series during the New Year's Day special,
Revolution of the Daleks, which also saw the return of John Barrowman's
Captain Jack Harkness, who was first introduced as a recurring guest
character in Season 1 of the Doctor Who revival before fronting the show's
spin-off series Torchwood.

In our review of the episode, we praised Walsh and Cole's final scene for
offering "a somewhat satisfying symmetry," though we also recognised that it
included "a note that some might consider overly manipulative in the way that
a Hallmark Christmas movie would avoid for seeming too over-the-top," which
partly contributed to "a disappointing return for Jodie Whittaker's Doctor
and her Fam."
