Jodie Whittaker has addressed her Doctor Who<\/a> exit for the first time in a new interview, where she describes the long-running sci-fi drama as the \u201cbest thing\u201d she has ever worked on.<\/p>\n The actor\u2019s tenure on the show began in 2018, when she took over from Peter Capaldi, and has seen some major changes and additions to the lore of the franchise.<\/p>\n Earlier this summer, it was announced that Whittaker and showrunner Chris Chibnall would both be departing Doctor Who in 2022<\/a>, allowing the show to undergo a major creative shake-up.<\/p>\n In an interview with BBC Radio 6 Music, she reflected on her experience with the show and its passionate viewers, heaping glowing praise on her colleagues and fans alike.<\/p> She began: \u201cThe two highlights for me are having a brand new family of cast and crew, and making a set of mates for life in an environment where we have such joy going into work everyday, and we\u2019re part of something so amazing.<\/p>\n \u201cBut then also, on the outside of it, seeing how much it means to Doctor Who<\/a> fans of old, to new Whovians, to people who have gone away and revisited \u2013 whatever stage of Whovian journey they\u2019re in, just being half a second in that has been really exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n Whittaker has featured in a number of major projects over the years, including Broadchurch<\/a>, Black Mirror<\/a> and cult hit Attack The Block, but Doctor Who seemingly trumps everything else she\u2019s worked on.<\/p>\n She added: \u201cIt means so much to so many different people and now I\u2019m a part of this\u2026 for me, it\u2019s going to be the best thing I\u2019ve ever done. I\u2019ve loved it, I\u2019ve loved every second of it.\u201d<\/p>\n While fans can\u2019t help speculating on where the franchise will go next and who will be the next Doctor, Whittaker ended the interview by reminding fans she has many more adventures still to air: \u201cDon\u2019t write me out just yet!\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong>\u00a0Doctor Who drops new Mary Shelley clue in mysterious treasure hunt<\/a><\/p>\n Doctor Who is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
