Jodie Whittaker 'will wear past Doctor Who outfits in her finale'

‘She’ll wear the best-loved items from over the decades!’ Doctor Who’s Jodie Whittaker ‘will celebrate former Time Lords by sporting their iconic outfits in her final episode’

Jodie Whittaker will allegedly pay tribute to past Time Lords by wearing their iconic outfits in her final episode of Doctor Who.

The actress, 40, is set to bid farewell to the iconic part during the BBC’s centenary episode in October – making way for Ncuti Gatwa to enter as the 14th Doctor – but not before David Tennant reprises his role for three specials next year.

A source told The Mirror: ‘Getting Jodie – and some others – to wear some of the best-loved items from the Doctors’ wardrobes over the decades, seems a fitting and perfect way to mark the BBC’s 100 year anniversary.’

70s Time Lord Tom Baker’s striped scarf will reportedly make its comeback as well as a celery sprig worn by Peter Davison from the 1980s installments.

A pair of checked trousers famed by Patrick Troughton, the debut Doctor in 1963, are thought to be included, along with Sylvester McCoy’s question mark jumper in the late 80s.

Finally, David Tennant’s brown-and-blue tie from the late 00s will also be worn by Jodie, it has been claimed.

MailOnline has contacted the BBC for comment.

It comes after Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies revealed Jodie’s farewell is ‘full of surprises.’

The writer is set to return to the sci-fi series for its 60th Anniversary in 2023, but first viewers will bid farewell to Jodie in a 90-minute special penned by current boss Chris Chibnall that will air in October.

Speaking on The One Show, Russell revealed he’s already watched the ‘epic’ episode that will see Jodie regenerate into the next incarnation of The Doctor, with the episode set to air in October as part of BBC’s Centenerary celebrations.

During the interview, hosts Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas tried to grill Russell on details about Who’s Diamond Anniversary next year, but he remained tight-lipped.

Instead, the It’s A Sin writer offered hints of what fans can expect from Chibnall’s swan song, which will see the return of iconic villain The Master Sacha Dhawan as well as classic companions Ace (Sophie Aldred) and Tegan Jovanka (Janet Fielding).

He said: ‘Has anyone ever come on The One Show and given away a spoiler? I can’t say, honestly, because what is coming up in October, this year, is Jodie Whittaker’s farewell. So, I feel like I’m upstaging it slightly.’

‘Love Jodie, and I just saw the finished version of that two days ago. It’s a 90-minute epic, it’s fantastic. So, that is gorgeous with lots of surprises and I’m going quiet!’

Russell also briefly touched on his plans for Who’s big anniversary next year, which will see the return of fan favourites David Tennant and Catherine Tate as the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble respectively.

Neil Patrick Harris, who starred in Russell’s acclaimed drama It’s A Sin, has also joined the cast, alongside Heartstopper’s Yasmin Finney.

Chibnall has penned Jodie’s epic concluding episode after taking over as Who’s showrunner in 2017, previously hinting that Ace and Tegan will be ‘helping the Doctor fight on three fronts, against her deadliest enemies: the Master, Daleks and Cybermen, in one huge story.’

An air date for the episode is yet to be confirmed, but it is expected to air around the BBC’s 100th Anniversary, which falls on 18th October.
