Jodie Whittaker feels proud of her 'Doctor Who' legacy.
Jodie Whittaker loved her time on the BBC show
The 40-year-old actress made history when she became the first-ever female Doctor, and Jodie feels proud of what she managed to achieve during her time on the show, after previously saying that she wanted to bring "inclusivity and hope" to the series.
Jodie shared: "I suppose I can’t take much credit for most of it, because that is down to the writing.
"But that was the overriding feeling of the Doctor I wanted to bring. And I feel I was given that opportunity, and that this show, at this time, represents everything I wanted it to be."
Jodie is set to make her final outing as the Doctor in an upcoming episode.
And the actress has confessed to being overcome with emotion during her last day on set.
She told The Big Issue: "Before they even finished checking the last take of the last scene, I was in bits. Even when we wrapped on a corridor we would always run down, or did the last costume checks with the person who’s stood by you through all this time. You know, even my last lateral flow test was emotional!"
Despite this, Jodie is convinced that her replacement, Ncuti Gatwa, will be a huge success on the show.
Jodie said: "Ncuti Gatwa doesn’t need any advice from me - he is far more qualified than me. He is absolutely amazing.
"I got caught up in the euphoria of it all like everyone else. But that’s the beauty of this job. You get to hand it on. And you get to discover, like a fan, where it is going to go next. And now I will get to watch it without being stressed out about whether I nail a speech or if anyone can understand my accent. I’ll get to watch something I love from the safety of my living room."
