Jodie Whittaker is ready to hit UK screens as the first female Doctor Who in the series 11 premiere, Sunday, 07 October.

'Doctor Who' will be broadcast on Sunday nights on BBC One for the first time in its history.

The first episode, titled 'The Woman Who Fell to Earth', will follow on from when viewers last saw Jodie's Doctor falling from her TARDIS. Showrunner Chris Chibnall has also penned the episode.

Mr Chibnall said: "New Doctor, new home! Jodie Whittaker's Doctor is about to burst into Sunday nights - and make the end of the weekend so much more exciting. Get everybody's homework done, sort out your Monday clothes, then grab some special Sunday night popcorn, and settle down with all of the family for Sunday night adventures across space and time. (Also, move the sofa away from the wall so parents can hide behind it during the scary bits). The Thirteenth Doctor is falling from the sky and it's going to be a blast."

Charlotte Moore, Director of BBC Content, added: "With Chris Chibnall at the helm and Jodie Whittaker's arrival as the new Doctor we are heralding a brand new era for the show and so it feels only right to give it a new home on Sunday nights at the heart of BBC One's Autumn schedule."
