Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor Who will enter a "zany" CGI world in an upcoming episode.
Although details of Jodie’s reign at the helm of the TARDIS have been sparse, new series director Jennifer Perrott has given fans a hint of the computer generated world the Time Lord will inhabit in the new season.
Jennifer told Doctor Who magazine: "I did have a zany action sequence in studio where we just had the actors, green screen and fans blowing their hair – the entire world around them will be created with visual effects.
"I can’t wait to see what those geniuses at [effects house] DNEG create for that."
Jennifer also revealed that she binge-watched the show in preparation for her work on the upcoming series with showrunner Chris Chibnall.
She said: "[It’s] such an iconic show and one I’d loved as a child, especially when Tom Baker was the Doctor.
"I hadn’t kept up with every episode of more recent series, so I binge-watched the last few seasons and became intrigued both by directing the show and by sci-fi generally.
"Space travel has become more a part of modern life since the 1980s, when I last watched the show religiously. I can see how this has opened the door for more human stories to be told amidst the escapist fantasy of saving the world from alien invasion.
"The aliens are now as emotionally complex as the humans, and I was really excited by that."
Chibnall recently praised the team of writers and directors for the new series, saying he is excited by the talent at his disposal.
He said: ""We have a team of writers who’ve been working quietly and secretly for a long time now, crafting characters, worlds and stories to excite and move you. A set of directors who stood those scripts up on their feet, bringing those ideas, visuals and emotions into existence with bravura and fun.
"Hailing from a range of backgrounds, tastes and styles, here’s what unites them: they are awesome people as well as brilliant at their job. (It matters!) They love Doctor Who. And they’ve all worked above and beyond the call of duty in an effort to bring audiences something special, later this year."
