TRENDING NOW: Incoming transmission from Doctor Who

Actor Jodie Whittaker channelled her "Doctor Who" character to deliver a message of hope during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Whittaker, who played the 13th doctor on the iconic British TV series, has sent an emergency transmission to the show's fans.

"If you're seeing this, the Tardis must have detected an upsurge in psychological signals from somewhere in space and time," Whittaker said while in character. "Basically, I think somebody, somewhere, might be a little bit worried. I'm actually just self-isolating, or as I like to call it, hiding, from an army of Sontarans."

"Remember, you'll get through this and things will be alright, even if they look uncertain, even if you're worried, darkness never prevails."

She also asked everyone to keep their sense of humour, and remember to be kind.
