"We have a different, another little surprise at the end of the interview for you today" says Shaun, the #gally1 organizer.

So who's ready for Jodie's Sunday interview?! Hosted by @taigooden
Jodie Whittaker in the house and laughing already! #gally1
"Let's go back in time to before you became the Doctor."
"I'm good at that" says Jodie #gally1
"I was like can I be a baddie please?" Jodie asked Chris while doing Broadchurch press after he'd been announced... and then he told her he was going to be doing the first female Doctor! #gally1
"You're rubbing your belly and patting your head while saying, with the utmost respect, complete gobbledygook!" Jodie on playing the Doctor for the audition #gally1
"There was going to be a number of people furious that I hadn't told them, including my family!" #gally1
"[Chris] already knew my process which is I whatsapp. I should be the face of whatsapp!"

"A lot of it is, what is that. Is that a thing? Or is that my thing?" #gally1
"Music... I mean, we didn't bond with Brad over music, every time he put something on it sounded like we were in an elevator."

"I wouldn't change a thing about Mandip except her taste in food!"

- Jodie Whittaker #gally1
"He's absolutely beautiful. He's not going to be good. You can't have those cheek bones AND be good."

Jodie talking about Tosin Cole, who then blew her away. He was her first chemistry read!

"He made me laugh so many times" #gally1
"I need to be with somebody who's going to be my best friend!" Jodie picking Mandip to be her costar #gally1
"Oh my God! The old man fell!" Brad doing a comedy fall down a massive stretch of stairs #gally1
When finding eyelines, Brad would be joking like "boring", Mandip would be zoned out playing with her hair (great impression from Jodie), and Tosin would be complaining nobody was listening to him and they'd been doing the scene a while.
Jodie is particularly into dystopian apocalypse books. She also says "I am really into American classics."

She then launched into an AMAZING speech about the power of words and how we're never done finding new, wonderful things I couldn't write down fast enough.
"The thing I'm really good at is monologuing... weirdly that sometimes that ends up being a really really creative thing!" She then loves when she can find a really creative person to take those words she says and make them into something meaningful and be part of that process.
"Sometimes people are like, 'you couldn't play that part.' Yes I could!" Jodie on whether she can be typecast #gally1
"I met Juno, the writer, she's incredible, and Charlie, the lead in it, she's incredible." Jodie on Redacted #gally1
"Oh my God, what if I've forgotten how to do it!" Jodie returning to do Redacted. #gally1

She realized quickly she still had it. "It's always there, I can pull it out at parties, it's always there!"
"What I always liked about working with Chris is he loves an ensemble... an opportunity for so many different energies and elements!" Jodie at #gally1
"You're never having to explain your career. I'll always be able to say I WAS THE DOCTOR!"
"It would be really interesting to go back to the world I came from which was quite intense naturalistic drama... what I'm shooting at the moment." Jodie Whittaker on what's next after Who! #gally1
"My craving would always be the other. I love questions about how people experience time!" Says Jodie about what she would love to do #gally1
"What interests me is not limiting myself to thinking I can only play this!" Says Jodie. Playing the Doctor really opened her mind up to what she could do.

As a woman: "We are not a genre!" #gally1
Thasmin convo time. Applause.
"Is this a Twitter thing?" Jodie when she first heard about Thasmin. "Keeps being sent to me. Have I missed summat?" #gally1
"It was absolutely the natural progression of the way the Doctor and Yaz had journeyed together. Particularly our scenes at the end of The Power of the Doctor, it was so emotional to shoot!" Jodie on Thasmin #gally1
"To have that simplicity and truth was really beautiful." Jodie on her final scenes with Mandip after all the bombastic action #gally1
"Ha ha you're carrying two." Quotes Jodie on her pregnancy in the bridal carry scene.

Quoting Mandip:
"You do eat a lot at the moment and we've got that scene where I have to carry ya!" #gally1
"They smashed the technical after about two or three takes so I only did a really short amount..." regeneration filming was over quicker than Jodie expected with all the technical crane stuff. "That's a wrap." "I'm done. Oh my God what have I done, I'm done!" #gally1
"And then you're just in this really weird anticlimactic thing, but the beauty is the show hasn't come out yet... so I really dragged it out!" Jodie after wrap #gally1
On Jodie Whittaker's takeaways from time on Who: "There's literal takeaways from all the things I stole."

But also "really poetic, philosophical life lessons" in addition to the "literal bag of takeaways." #gally1
"Love exists everywhere." Jodie Whittaker learned from Doctor Who #gally1
Jodie Whittaker describing the era and legacy "I don't think you can be the writer of your own obituary... The things I take away from it is it was home, it was hopeful, it was emotional... You want people to feel that this is their home." #gally1
"I'm currently working in Sydney, which is extraordinary, but it's a long way away! It's a limited series... I'm obviously not allowed to say what!" Jodie Whittaker on her new job! #gally1
Here come special guests as a surprise!
"Here's the gold standard, boys!" Janet Fielding #gally1
"Oh look, there's five women standing here. Five powerful women...three of us over the age of fifty... and we're not talking about shopping our relationships!" Aldred on Power of the Doctor #gally1
"I dropped the f-bomb, and you said 'I know we're going to get on.'" Janet to Jodie #gally1
"I wore a mask all the time even though we were outdoors so we weren't recognized." Says Janet. On the other hand all three Doctors went out to dinner together and posed for a photograph. Shade. #gally1
"Well I'm not not coming in on that day!" Jodie coming in for the support group filming despite not being needed! #Gally1
On wrapping on Power, Aldred says she thought "I don't want to go!" So she asked to stay and ended up reading in for all the Doctors filming the Guardians scene! #gally1
"You're always the audience, even if you're in it!" Says Jodie, because you never really get to see how good it'll look when it's done. "You're always a fan."
The TARDIS landing in Graham's flat, Jodie says cracking up, was "two guys with a leafblower!" #gally1
💙💙 #gally1

Writing for audio with Matt Fitton, Lisa McMullin, Liz Myles, Joe Lidster, Rossa McPhillips, Alfie Shaw, and Kenny Smith from Big Finish! #gally1 Image
Majority of panelists got in to Big Finish through Matt.

"What we've learned so far is Matt Fitton. He even script edits."
"Because no one else will."
"That was a real lesson in terms of what you can and can't do. You can't have access to everyone... check who you can use before you start" says Alfie Shaw on how he wanted to include Clara as a source of tension between 11 and 12 in Regeneration Impossible. #gally1

Last day of #gally1 kicking off with Ascension of the Cybermen commentary featuring Cybermen Patrick O'Kane, Mickey Lewis, Simon Carew and Richard Price!
"I must just have a horrible face. I'm SO typecast... and I love it!" Mickey Lewis on playing monsters. #gally1
The Nightmare in Silver Cybermen design was intended to be quite sleek, whereas the RTD ones are very heavy and they had to stomp. They tried to bring the stomp back with the Cyber Warriors but the costumes didn't work with it. #gally1
