Comedian John Bishop to Join 'Doctor Who' in Season 13
Following the events in Doctor Who New Year's special "Revolution of the Daleks," we all knew changes were headed our way in the next season of the show.
Stars Tosin Cole and Bradley Walsh exited the TARDIS, to make a life for themselves on Earth - and maybe help save the world a little bit in their spare time. Many of us hoped that their departure meant Mandip Gill's Yaz might take center stage at last. (The show has struggled with what to do with her character over the past few seasons and making her a solo companion would at last force the show to give her something like a narrative arc of her own.) Alas, that is not to be, and a second companion will join the TARDIS when Doctor Who returns for Season 13.
Actor and comedian John Bishop has been announced as new companion Dan. As he becomes embroiled in the Doctor’s adventures, Dan will quickly learn there’s more to the Universe(s) than he could ever believe. Traveling through space and time alongside the Doctor and Yaz, he’ll face evil alien races beyond his wildest nightmares.
