Broadchurch star Jodie Whittaker will be the first woman to play the title role of Doctor Who, the BBC announced on Sunday.
Here are 20 of our favourites responses online (with more to come, no doubt) to the identity of the 13th Doctor.

Oh great a female Doctor Who. What next? Female real doctors? Female pilots? Female scientists? Female sisters and mothers? Female WOMEN?!

It's hilarious watching people on twitter try and come up with reasons a fictional shape shifting alien can't be played by a woman #doctor13

Never mind that the new Doctor Who is a woman – she's from YORKSHIRE. New catchphrase: "switch that immersion off; I'm not made of money"

If you're fine with "magically regenerating time-travelling alien" but struggle with "female", have a word with yourself! #doctor13

To misogynists moaning about #Doctor13: You’re not the target audience. It’s aimed at children w/ grown-up minds, not the other way around.
