Still from "Doctor Who: Flux", BBC Doctor Who: Flux has been an utter waste of resources, of everything, of both Jodie Whittaker and Jo Martin Chibnall had two fantastic actors who are The Doctor and does[...]

He never had a crossover episode except perhaps for an upcoming Big Finish audio where he teamed up with the late David Warner.

Both classically-trained actors, they seemed to relish bouncing off each other like tennis players, Tate's comic timing complemented Tennant in ways no Doctor-Companion pairing did before or since. All this is well and good, but the one casualty here is Jodie Whittaker She has become ignored and forgotten when she's still the current Doctor with one[...]

The Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) vs the Sea Devils That's all it is.
