The Thirteenth Doctor

The Thirteenth Doctor is the current incarnation of the Doctor, the fictional protagonist of the BBC science fiction television programme Doctor Who. In the series' narrative, the Doctor is a centuries-old Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey who travels in time and space in her TARDIS, frequently with Companions. At the end of life, the Doctor can regenerate her body; and in doing so gain a new physical appearance, and with it a distinct new personality; this plot mechanism has allowed the Doctor to be portrayed by a series of actors over the decades since the programme's inception in 1963. Whittaker's portrayal of the Doctor is a light-hearted adventurer with a passion for building things, placing a high value on friendships and striving for non-violent solutions. This incarnation of the Doctor travels with part-time warehouse worker Ryan Sinclair, retired bus driver and Ryan's step-grandfather Graham O'Brien and probationary police officer Yasmin Khan, all of whom she met shortly after her regeneration.
