With just under three weeks until the start of Doctor Who Series 11, the production team are starting to release information.
“Finally – Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor is about to crash land on to the nation’s screen,” showrunner Chris Chibnall explained. “It’s thrilling to think, in the next few weeks and months, there will be children encountering Jodie’s Doctor who’ve never seen the show before. She’ll be forever their Doctor: you never forget your first.
“Alongside Jodie, we have a delightful ensemble of new characters for the audience to fall in love with, led by the incomparable Bradley Walsh.
“So break out the popcorn and hunker down for Sunday night adventures in space and time, with the Thirteenth Doctor and her new best friends. The journey’s about to begin.”
Episode 1 is The Woman Who Fell to Earth, written by Chibnall, directed by Jamie Childs and introducing Bradley Walsh, Mandip Gill and Tosin Cole asGraham, Yaz and Ryan. “We don’t get aliens in Sheffield.” In a South Yorkshire city, Ryan Sinclair, Yasmin Khan and Graham O’Brien are about to have their lives changed forever, as a mysterious woman, unable to remember her own name, falls from the night sky. Can they believe a word she says? And can she help solve the strange events taking place across the city? The episode guest stars Sharon D Clarke, Jonny Dixon and Samuel Oatley.
Episode 2 is The Ghost Monument, also by Chibnall, and directed by Mark Tonderai. Still reeling from their first encounter, can the Doctor and her new friends stay alive long enough, in a hostile alien environment , to solve the mystery of Desolation?
