The first woman Doctor in 54 years of Doctor Who and The Sun responded in the only way it knows how – with topless (and bottomless) pictures of its new star, Jodie Whittaker.

“DALEKTABLE” was its headline across pages 4 and 5 of today’s paper. Geddit?

“New Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker has a saucy screen past, a trip back in time reveals. The show’s 13th Time Lord has strpped off more than once for her roles.”

Phowar!!! We’ve used the first thing that came to hand to hide her modesty.

EDITOR: TITS

INTERN: [nodding] tits — Marty Lawrence (@TeaAndCopy) July 17, 2017

Presumably the Sun also looked for pictures of Peter Capaldi’s dick the last time the Doctor was cast.

Even a Sun reader was taken aback.

Not to be outdone, the Daily Mail did exactly the same thing.

It prompted a similar response from (some) readers.

The Sun today publishes pictures of the new Doctor Who's breasts. I'm not sure things have shifted on their axis all that much, after all. — James O'Brien (@mrjamesob) July 17, 2017

Fed up with people telling you that Doctor Who is being run by PC lefties? Try sharing this.

"Doctor Who is being run by PC lefties now" In 1963, it had a woman producer and was directed by a gay Asian man. #doctor13 #DoctorWho — Chris Down (@PlingetheElder) July 16, 2017
