8/9) Watch this clip from acclaimed BBC drama series Doctor Who

Why was the casting of Jodie Whittaker a significant moment in the history of Doctor Who?

I think this was a significant moment in the history of Doctor Who because through out the film industry, there has always been a male protagonist. This goes against general stereotypes so being able to have a female in cast changed peoples mindset. 

10) What aspects of this scene do you think an audience might enjoy? List at least three things and explain why the audience would enjoy each aspect. 

One aspect of the scene the audience might enjoy is seeing capaldi's iteration of The Doctor Who make one final dramatic speech (as the character is known to do),before bursting into the fiery flames of regeneration and changing into Whittaker's new thirteenth Doctor, making the first time in the show's 50 year run that a female actor has taken on the role.Another aspect is when sparks flew in the Tardis before Whittaker emerged from Capaldi's dying golden glow as this hopefully symbolised the end of overly wordily scripts and a new beginning of exciting escapades. Also One last aspect of the scene is knowing that, it doesn't end negatively as there will be more drama and exciting adventures to come.
