'Doctor Who' Season 11: John Barrowman Tackles the Female Doctor Controversy

The Twelfth Doctor is dying, acting out his final scenes against a tumultuous backdrop of Whovian uncertainty. Doctor Who announced Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor, and the news was met with cheers and jeers alike.
