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.
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+.
