JUST SO YOU GUYS KNOW:
I was at Raleigh SuperCon this weekend which hosted none other than the fabulously lovely Alex Kingston. We were FRONT ROW at her panel Sunday morning (EST time) when the announcement was made about the new Doctor AND we got to be part of the crowd that told her about Jodie Whittaker.
For context, Alex was talking about she loved the line about River’s wives and how excited she was for the possibility of a female Doctor (and kissing a lady :3)
So her immediate response to hearing Jodie got the part?
She made kissy noises into the mic AND I AM LIVING
(she then went on to say that Jodie was lovely and fantastic and she was so excited for her)
