So, remember last year when my daughter was all over the internet for screaming “THE NEW DOCTOR IS A GIRL!” during Jodie Whittaker’s reveal? And remember how any time anyone even mentions Doctor Who since that video seems to pop up? Well, they finally got a chance to meet, thanks to BBC America! You can watch a small portion of the call here (Jodie was incredibly generous with her time and spoke with Wednesday a lot longer than I anticipated). I love everyone who made this happen for my kid, who has literally never been this shy with anyone before.
Jodie is The Doctor; she absolutely embodied Eleven’s quote, “You know, nine hundred years of time and space and I’ve never met anybody who wasn’t important before.” She made my daughter feel important and valued and I am ridiculously grateful. This is a moment Wednesday will never, ever forget.
Omg that was so amazing! I saw your tweet and I’m so glad I got to see the video of it! I have tears of joy for Wednesday 🙂
Oh, this made me tear up at work. I’m so happy for Wednesday. What a wonderful experience for her!
I am cri.
This is amazing and your daughter is SO PRECIOUS and I am so delighted she was treated so well.
I’m not crying, you’re crying!
(I am also crying).
What a wonderful memory for Wednesday! She, and you, will treasure it always! Yay Doctor Who and BBC!
That’s so precious I have tears in my eyes, so happy for her!
This was way too adorable. So happy for Wednesday and I think she handled herself really well. I’m not sure I’d be able to form coherent sentences if I met Jodie.
Watching Wednesday grin and grin and grin was a spot of joy in a shit world. Jodie is a delight.
My cheeks hurt from smiling so hard 🙂 so happy for Wednesday
Why are my eyes leaking?
Totally awesome! That made my week after the spouse’s bout in the ER for amnesia.
Wishing your spouse the best of health.
Thanks, Tez! Fortunately most of the 2 to 12 month block of memory was recovered, the only thing she doesn’t remember is the 8 hours around the incident itself. But during that time she had NO short term memory and would forget things that happened or I said 60 seconds before.
This is such a great video, literally could not stop smiling! Even though Wednesday is quiet you can tell how much joy and awe she’s feeling during the chat, and I feel like most of us would be the same!
Finally got to watch this. I have slow leaky tears of joy. ❤️ So happy for Wednesday.
This made me so happy! I’m thrilled that Wednesday got to speak with Jodi! What an amazing opportunity.
I totally teared up!
