The introduction of Jo Martin as a hitherto-unknown incarnation of the Doctor halfway through Doctor Who season 12 was one of the most shocking moments of the series in recent years.

The star indirectly confirmed this herself during an interview with Doctor Who Magazine. Martin spoke about how many of her friends didn’t watch her first episode, so she had to explain to them that she wasn’t “the new Doctor,” but that she was “a Doctor.
