Since its resurrection in 2005, Doctor Who has favoured stories-of-the-week over the classic series’ serialised format, but showrunner Chris Chibnall is taking the show back to its roots for series 13 with a single story told over six episodes.
In Flux, the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) and Yaz (Mandip Gill) must battle an ancient evil threatening the universe. Along the way, they pick up a new companion, Dan Lewis (John Bishop, see panel), while another new arrival is the mysterious Vinder, played by Game of Thrones star Jacob Anderson.
Flux is the final full series for Chibnall and Whittaker, who will both depart the show after three specials in 2022, with former showrunner Russell T Davies returning to the helm, and the identity of the next actor to portray the Doctor yet to be confirmed.
Here, Chibnall, 51, and Whittaker, 39, tell TV&Satellite Week how they’re feeling about approaching the end of their adventure through space and time together…
