We\u2019re coming up to [its] 60th year and it\u2019s reinvented itself every year; every series it goes on the next journey.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s the most extraordinary drama franchise and global phenomenon. The fact that the Doctor himself regenerates is a great symbol for the whole of the BBC. Jodie has been such a fantastic first-ever female Doctor Who.\u201d<\/p>\n She added that the series \u201cconstantly reinvents itself just like the BBC and it constantly pushes at those boundaries and is ambitious in its storytelling\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m very excited.\u201d<\/p> This comes as the BBC recently announced a new deal<\/a> with Disney Plus<\/a> for the streamer to broadcast the show internationally from 2023, while the rights will remain exclusively with the BBC in the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n Additional reporting by Minnie Wright.<\/em><\/p>\n Doctor Who is available to stream on\u00a0BBC iPlayer<\/a>\u00a0with episodes of the classic series also available on BritBox \u2013 you can sign up for a\u00a07-day free trial here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our\u00a0Sci-Fi<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0to see what\u2019s on tonight.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31. or more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to the\u00a0Radio Times View From My Sofa podcast<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p><\/body><\/html>\n By James Hibbs Published: Monday, 31 October 2022 at 12:00 am With Jodie Whittaker having just bowed out of Doctor Who as the Thirteenth Doctor, and David Tennant and Ncuti Gatwa both incoming as the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Doctors respectively, the long-running sci-fi show is in a particularly transitional period.
