Russell T Davies Reacts To Jodie Whittaker's Final Doctor Who Episode
Russell T Davies, who is set to return as Doctor Who showrunner in 2023, has revealed that he has seen Jodie Whittaker's final episode as the Thirteenth Doctor. Davies was integral to the modern relaunch of the BBC's long-running science fiction series, overseeing and writing much of its first four seasons between 2005 and 2010, with Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant in the title role. However, in a surprise announcement last September, the BBC confirmed that Davies was returning to Doctor Who after a 13-year absence, taking over from current showrunner Chris Chibnall for the Doctor Who 60th anniversary special, as well as following seasons. Tennant and Catherine Tate will also return for the 60th anniversary, and Ncuti Gatwa has been cast as the Fourteenth Doctor.
However, ahead of Davies' return, there is still one more episode set to broadcast for Whittaker's Doctor. The currently untitled finale for the Thirteenth Doctor will coincide with the BBC's centenary celebrations and will see the character's regeneration, although whether this will be Gatwa or Tennant remains unclear. But while not much is currently known about the special, a trailer shown after «Legend of the Sea Devils» confirmed a number of story details. Most notably, the episode will see Janet Fielding and Sophie Aldred reprise their companion roles as Tegan and Ace from the classic Doctor Who era, as well as the return of the Daleks, Cybermen and The Master (Sacha Dhawan).
