Even though Jodie Whittaker's portrayal of the Doctor faced a lot of backlash, producer Matt Strevens thinks DoctorWho fans will eventually appreciate her time on the series.
Doctor Who producer, Matt Strevens, has commented on how fans will look back on Jodie Whittaker's time as the Doctor. Time is running out for the Thirteenth Doctor as 2022 is set to bring fans her final adventure in a feature-length special coinciding with the BBC's centenary celebrations in the autumn. This will also mark the end of Chris Chibnall's tenure as showrunner as he prepares to hand the reins back to the writer who revived Doctor Who back in 2005, Russell T. Davies.
Both actor and showrunner will bow out after 31 episodes across three seasons, the third of which was produced under COVID-19 safety guidelines which limited the episode count and demanded a change of structure to be a more serialized ongoing storyline. The era was notable and somewhat controversial, for Whittaker's casting as the first female actor to portray the role in the main show, with reactions ranging from vitriolic outrage to joyous celebration.
“Every Doctor gets it, every showrunner gets it. I loved Steven Moffat’s reaction when Russell T Davies was announced as coming back recently – writing ‘RTD MUST GO!’ on Instagram. I thought that was so witty, because there’s always someone waiting to have a pop. And that’s good, in a way. The great thing is we have freedom of speech and people are free to say what they want.
Strevens comments are fairly measured and do match up with the history of the show's fandom. Whittaker's era, and her Doctor, have received some exceptionally vitriolic outrage from a loud sect of the fandom, the motivation of which primarily seems to be rooted in their belief that a woman should never play the Doctor due to the precedent of exclusively white male actors before her.
Former Doctors such as Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy were often thought of unfavorably while they were starring in the part, mainly due to poor writing and the show going off the air around their time. Subsequently, fans have not only appreciated their performances and the stories they featured in but the ancillary media that has given new life to their characters, the audio plays from Big Finish being beloved in particular.
