BBC America and HBO Max have announced Doctor Who’s return to New York Comic Con with the Doctor herself, Jodie Whittaker, and companion Yaz, played by Mandip Gill.

Together with moderator Melanie McFarland, TV Critic for Salon.com, they will look back at their epic past two seasons in the TARDIS, which have been packed with shocking twists, turns and surprises, and discuss their favourite moments to date. The panel will be streamed on Thursday, October 8 starting at 2:45pm ET (7.45 pm BST)

There’s also a discussion about BBC America’s newest series The Watch, featuring a discussion with cast and executive producers, special guests and a first look at the series on Friday, October 9 starting at 1:30pm ET (6.30 pm BST)

The Watch, based on concepts by Terry Pratchett, follows an unlikely group of misfits, The City Watch, who are forced to find the guts to save the world, surprising even themselves in the process. The comedic yet thrilling series pits trolls, werewolves, wizards and other improbable heroes against an evil plot to resurrect a great dragon which would lead to the destruction of life as they know it. Moderator – actress Yvette Nicole Brown (Community) – joins panellists and series stars Richard Dormer (Game of Thrones), Lara Rossi (I May Destroy You), Adam Hugill (1917), Jo Eaton-Kent (Don’t Forget the Driver) and Marama Corlett (Blood Drive), along with executive producers Simon Allen (The Musketeers) and Richard Stokes (Broadchurch).
