In an exciting development for Whovians around the globe, the upcoming series of Doctor Who is set to feature an episode co-written by the dynamic duo, Kate Herron and Briony Redman. The episode is scheduled to air as Ncuti Gatwa takes command of the TARDIS as the much-anticipated Fifteenth Doctor.
Kate Herron, renowned as the Executive Producer and director of Marvel Studios’ Loki, and a key contributor to the critically acclaimed Sex Education series, expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “Clearly I can’t get enough of time travel. It is an absolute honour to write for Russell and Ncuti. We had so much fun and can’t wait for you all to see it.”
Briony Redman, an accomplished actor, comedian, and BAFTA Rocliffe winning writer, shared her excitement as a fan of Doctor Who and Russell T Davies, calling the opportunity to write for the show a dream come true.
Show-runner Russell T Davies, known for his masterful storytelling, commented on the collaboration, saying, “This is when I absolutely love my job. Working with the stellar talents of Kate and Briony makes my whole world bigger and brighter, and a lot more fun.” He praised their script, noting it created unique challenges for the cast and crew, resulting in an episode that is “gorgeous, thrilling, and scary.”
The Doctor Who team is gearing up for a thrilling return in November 2023, with three special episodes featuring David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor to celebrate the show’s 60th anniversary. Ncuti Gatwa’s inaugural episode as the Fifteenth Doctor will follow, airing over the festive period.
