DWM #516: Time for a Lady
Whittaker shares her feelings about becoming the Thirteenth Doctor: “Chris [Chibnall] wouldn’t have cast me as the Doctor because he wanted me to repeat anything that had gone before. And I think as a fan you don’t want to watch something that’s an imitation of something that’s gone before. Or what would be the point of recasting?”
