This Christmas, Twelve becomes Thirteen, as Peter Capaldi will regenerate in Doctor Who into Jodie Whittaker. Filming actually wrapped on the Christmas special last week, save for the moment of regeneration. But now Rachel Talalay, who’s directed the Yuletide episode, has confirmed that she’s returning to get one final scene in the proverbial can.
She took to her Twitter account to announce that she would be directing Jodie Whittaker’s entrance into the world of Doctor Who (save for that clip that played during the tennis). And whilst no timescale has been announced thus far, we suspect that filming will take place sooner rather than later.
Here’s Talalay’s Tweet, confirming the news…
Thrilled that I will be directing the amazing #DoctorWho13 Jodie Whittaker in Xmas episode. Plenty of time before Xmas to get that done.
