JODIE Whittaker made history when she became the first ever female Doctor Who for series 11, but she’s since revealed she’ll soon be ready to leave the role behind.

What’s the history of Doctor Who and when did it return to TV?
Doctor Who was first broadcast in November 1963 and remained on the BBC until 1989.
The series follows the mysterious Doctor as they travel across space and time, saving the galaxy from dastardly villains.
Conveniently, the Doctor can regenerate if fatally wounded. This has allowed the popular show to run for over 50 years.
It was revived in 2005 with Christopher Eccleston as the time-travelling adventurer.
The Doctor has since been played by David Tennant, Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi.
