Jodie Whittaker stars in Doctor Who for the final time – but how will she meet her end? Join us live to find out!

I’ve been a big fan of both Yaz as a character and Mandip Gill as an ambassador for the show. And how is it connected to the return of the wonderful Donna Noble? She said “to be on set with people that they paved the way for us to be here, is a really emotional thing.” And that’s not just because of her acting ability, it is the fact that she is one hell of a company leader. Tom Baker is still very active in the world of Doctor Who, but has been looking increasingly frail I’m afraid to say. On screen we only ever saw happy partings with the Seventh Doctor and Ace in both Survival - “Come on, Ace, we’ve got work to do!” and at the end of Dimensions in Time. After him saying “Someone tell me what the hell is going on here?” in the trailer that followed, who knows? I can’t wait to see what stories they have in store for the Fugitive Doctor.” It was nice to get a little bit more of Jo Martin in a role that she excelled at when actually given screentime. The Daleks were a bit part here, and Ashad remains the only Cyberman that can shoot straight when needed. The Master’s Tardis is a type 75. Whether it was the gif-able Boney M Rasputin dancing scene, his Doctor cosplay, or his taunting of Unit staff and companions, he positively revelled in being centre of attention and had all the best lines.
