The Thirteenth Doctor is the current incarnation of the Doctor, the fictional protagonist of the BBC science fiction television programme, Doctor Who. She is portrayed by English actress Jodie Whittaker, the first woman to play the character in the series. First appearing in the show's eleventh series, Whittaker is expected to leave the series as the Doctor following the thirteenth series and its associated specials.
Within the series' narrative, the Doctor is a millennia-old, alien Time Lord, with somewhat unknown origins, who travels in time and space in their TARDIS, frequently with companions. At the end of life, the Doctor regenerates; as a result, the physical appearance and personality of the Doctor change. Whittaker's incarnation is a light-hearted adventurer with a passion for building things, placing a high value on friendships and striving for non-violent solutions.
This incarnation's companions include dyspraxic part-time warehouse worker, Ryan Sinclair (Tosin Cole), retired bus driver, and Ryan's stepgrandfather, Graham O'Brien (Bradley Walsh), and probationary police officer, Yasmin Khan (Mandip Gill), all of whom she met shortly after her regeneration. She later crosses paths with former companion, Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) and is subsequently joined by food bank volunteer, Dan Lewis (John Bishop).
