Doctor Who: Flux - 15 Huge Details We Just Learned About Series 13

13. Jodie Whittaker Has Filmed Her Regeneration (But She Hasn't Met The New Doctor)

It doesn't feel like much time has passed since Jodie Whittaker took over from Peter Capaldi, but Christmas 2021 will mark four years since she inherited the TARDIS keys. Where has all the time gone?!

We're fast approaching the point where she'll pass those keys onto someone else, and with the announcement that her final episode will air in 2022, there's been a lot of talk about who her replacement will be.

We even made a whole video about it, if you want to hear our thoughts.

Anyway, you'd think Whittaker herself would be in the know about the new Doctor, but as she revealed in a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show... she isn't.

"We filmed some scenes, but the new Doctor wasn’t there" she said. "I wasn’t there for Peter, and I only met him months later when I passed him in the street!"

She could be lying of course, but it seems like she genuinely doesn't know who the Fourteenth Doctor is - even though she's already filmed her regeneration.
