Despite a mixed reception for Chris Chibnall's reign as showrunner - critically and in terms of viewing figures - casting Jodie Whittaker as the first female Doctor was a groundbreaking and largely successful move. But time's up for both of them now, and they begin their long goodbye with this six-parter, plus three specials in 2022. Mandeep Gill's Yaz survived the companion cull at the end of the last series, and is joined by John Bishop (as Dan) who adds to a short and ignoble list of standups turned Who actors. Familiar enemies - Sontarans, Ood, Weeping Angels, Cybermen - pop up across a single-story season ranging from the Arctic Circle to deep space, with some surprise faces promised.
