It’s hard to find the right words to express how I feel about being chosen as The Doctor, or to articulate the emotions that come with stepping into a role that carries such deep history and global adoration spanning over six decades.
Fans, you’ve been an integral part and pulsating core of this series. I can never express my gratitude enough for embracing me, and making this journey so heartwarming.
