The BBC has announced that Peter Capaldi's successor as the Time Lord in Doctor Who will be revealed following coverage of the Wimbledon men's final on Sunday afternoon.
The announcement was teased during coverage of Roger Federer's semi-final clash with Tomas Berdych on Friday evening, while the official Doctor Who Twitter account also released a trailer.
The 60-second clip shows the number 13 – the new Doctor will be the 13th - in a number of iconic locations across Britain including Downing Street and the White Cliffs of Dover.
It ended with the words: "Meet the 13th Doctor after the Wimbledon Men's Final . . . Sunday 16th July".
Death In Paradise star Kris Marshall is the odds-on favourite to succeed Capaldi, according to Coral bookmakers. His odds are 10/11, while Fleabag creator and actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge is second favourite at 9/4.
Jodie Whittaker (4/1), Michaela Coel (8/1), Tilda Swinton (10/1), Natalie Dormer (12/1), Tom Rosenthal (14/1) and David Harewood (14/1) are also in the running.
Capaldi said last week that his regeneration as the Time Lord will be "more complicated than recent ones".
The actor will step down from the role after the Christmas special but Capaldi warned in an interview with Radio Times magazine that it will not be an easy process.
The men's Wimbledon final coverage begins at 2pm on Sunday on BBC One.
