Jodie surprising Doctor Who fans is delightful

From Digital Spy

Jodie Whittaker is clearly an absolute delight, and her latest stunt has made us love her even more.

In a new clip posted by Doctor Who's official Twitter account, a bunch of unsuspecting fans talk about Jodie taking over the role of the Doctor, saying all manner of nice things of course.

Little do they know that the woman herself is backstage, and they then get the surprise of a lifetime as she pops up behind them.

Well, if there's anything that will definitely get you through the midweek slump, this is it.

It comes ahead of Jodie's proper debut as the iconic Time Lord next week, with excitement ramping-up for the new series.

To mark 13 days before her first full episodes as The Doctor yesterday (September 24), Jodie posed with 12 other identical 13th Doctors ahead of the show's premiere in Sheffield.

The series dropped its most epic trailer yet last week, which gave us a glimpse at whole new worlds, as well as the Doctor's new companions and a new sonic screwdriver.

Meanwhile, last week further proved her chops at brilliant video content by expertly taking down trolls that took aim at her casting in the BBC show, proving that she truly is the boss. Frankly, we seriously can't wait.

Doctor Who will return with 'The Woman Who Fell to Earth' on Sunday, October 7 on BBC One.
