On Sunday the world met the 13th Doctor in Doctor Who, Jodie Whittaker. She will be the first woman to play the role.

Facebook: BBCOne

Whittaker told the BBC that it feels "completely overwhelming" and "incredible" to be the first woman to do so.

A lot of people were ~really excited~ about the choice, like this little girl.

"Time Travel Is For Men And Men Only."

I took Daily Mail comments from people angry about a possible Female Dr Who and turned them into episode titles for… https://t.co/f3Hga2Da4E

The sarcasm was heavy.

It’s a Doctor Who special on Christmas Eve, not a Doctor Who special on Christmas Steve.

Doctor Who just won't be the same without The Doctor going on about his dick all the time.

WHERE?

A girl Dr Who, my God where can I go anymore to see white men in sci fi and fantasy pop culture.

Ah-ha!

1534, a great year.

Interesting how the Doctor Who casting announcement reflects real life issues such as time travel, as most comments about it date from 1534.

This person provided some friendly reminders.

If you're angry about #doctor13 possibly being a woman, just remember: 1) Its not real 2) The Doctor is an alien 3) You're a moron

*Enters mind of someone who objects to woman taking role of Doctor Who* "Wow, it's so much smaller on the inside" #DoctorWho13

A FEMALE Doctor Who? What's next? A female DIFFERENT THING I'm not that familiar with????!

Anyway, it's the END of the WORLD.

SO WATCH OUT.
