Doctor Who: Flux – Jo Martin on Fugitive Doctor's Return & Future
Without giving away too many spoilers, this past weekend's chapter of the BBC's Doctor Who: Flux (check out Rich Johnston's thoughts on "Once, Upon Time" here), Jodie Whittaker's Doctor, Yaz (Mandip Gill) & Dan's (John Bishop) battle with Swarm and the Flux got a big boost (and a whole ton of new questions) with the return of Jo Martin's Fugitive Doctor (though things did get a bit more "timey-wimey" from there). A welcome and surprising return that helped fill in some of the Doctor's major memory gaps (and added a whole lot more credibility from Series 12's revelations).
Now here's a look at Martin, Whittaker, Bishop, and more discussing the return of the Fugitive Doctor and what that means for the Doctor during Doctor Who: Flux… and beyond:
Now here's your look at the promo & overview for "Village of the Angels," followed by the official trailer and Series 13 overview:
Doctor Who: Flux Series 13 Episode 4 "Village of the Angels": Devon, November 1967. A little girl has gone missing. Professor Eustacius Jericho is conducting psychic experiments. And in the village graveyard, there is one gravestone too many. Why is Medderton known as "The Cursed Village"? And what do the Weeping Angels want? Directed by Jamie Magnus Stone and written by Chris Chibnall & Maxine Alderton.
She's back. The Thirteenth Doctor is returning for the thirteenth series in what is set to be a six-part Event Serial. Since their last epic battle in "Revolution of the Daleks," the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) and Yaz (Mandip Gill) have been exploring the universe together but with the Doctor now questioning everything about her past there, she will undoubtedly be searching for answers. This adrenalin-fueled; universe-spanning series will also see an addition to the TARDIS with actor and comedian John Bishop joining the cast as Dan Lewis who will quickly learn there's more to the Universe than he could ever believe. Jacob Anderson ("Game of Thrones," "Broadchurch") is also set to make his debut on Doctor Who as reoccurring character Vinder. Jacob's new role will see him join forces with the Doctor, Yaz, and Dan as the Doctor faces her biggest ever adventure. Series 13 is set to introduce some terrifying new adversaries and the return of truly iconic old enemies. Expect action, fun, scares, extraordinary new worlds as the Doctor and her friends confront a deadly evil…
