DOCTOR WHO
October 14, 2018  | By David Bianculli

BBC America, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

I briefly, and erroneously, had this listed under yesterday’s Best Bets – but as several of you noted, and took time to help me see the error of my ways, this second episode of the new Doctor Who season airs Sunday, tonight. (Thanks for everyone who wrote in. Good to know you’re still out there, and paying such close attention.) So what I wrote yesterday now, finally, applies: Last week, this long-running British sci-fi series unveiled the 13th actor to play the title role – and while the first dozen casting choices made the Doctor a he, the current incarnation of the Time Lord marks the first time the Doctor is a she. Jodie Whittaker stars, and, as both she and this new version of Doctor Who continue to take shape, embodies a certain type of TV history.
