The Doctor’s Past Haunts Him: Season 14 Hints At Classic Doctor Who Connection With Previous Era

According to Screenrant, recent news about the new season of Doctor Who has teased that the dark past of the Third Doctor played by Jon Pertwee (The Time Monster) will be haunting Ncuti Gatwa’s (Masters of the Air) incarnation of the Time Lord. The Third Doctor era was well known for its blend of scientific and fantasy. Season 14 will also see the return of previous beloved companions, such as Yasmin Finney’s (Heartstopper) Rose Noble, Bonnie Langford’s (The Saturday Starship) Mel Bush, and Jemma Redgrave’s (Cold Blood) Kate Stewart.

The season is set to materialize on Saturday, and the series show runner, Russell T Davies (Queen as Folk), revealed to RadioTimes. According to Screenrant, his official synopsis which teases on the future episode “The Legend of Ruby Sunday,” mentions a connection to the Third Doctor’s era.

Davies stated, “The TARDIS is on a top-secret mission, heading straight for the UNIT Tower in the middle of modern-day London. But ten floors below, a long-buried secret has been waiting since the era of the Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee), and Ruby’s mother holds a vital clue that might change her daughter’s story for ever.”
He continued, “This is the first part of a two-episode season finale, and oh my, the vultures are coming home to roast. Plots, hints, secrets, lies, and twists that have been muttering in the shadows since Christmas now rise up and unleash and absolute snowstorm of horror. Sometimes, late at night, I play this episode just for myself. So I can imagine being eight years old. And terrified. Because this one is the stuff of nightmares.”

There is still uncertainty about the specifics of how the Third Doctor’s past will connect to the approaching season and how the Doctor and company will combat it. The new season is available to watch on Disney+.
