Jodie Whittaker Responds To Fans’ Criticism Of ‘Doctor Who’ Ending

Whittaker played the Thirteenth Doctor during Chris Chibnall’s era in 2018–2022.

Big Finish recently announced Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill’s return as the Doctor and Yaz in an audio series. The two discussed the new project and their time on the BBC show in an interview with RadioTimes.com.

Whittaker also spoke about her last episode, ‘The Power of the Doctor.’ The 2022 special faced criticism from fans for the lack of romance between Thirteen and her companion. Still, the actress said:

“I’m quite protective over it. It was a really beautiful thing, particularly the scenes in the TARDIS – they were really wonderful to shoot, because that was our last day. And so, we shot those and then went and sat on top of the TARDIS and then shot in isolation, straight after that, the moment of regeneration. And I think those beats, even though, story-wise, they don’t run all together, for us, because that’s how we shot it, it felt like a beautiful progression within the dynamic and the relationship that they had.”

There Might Be Romance ‘In The Background’

Yaz confessed her feelings for the Doctor in the previous special, ‘Legend of the Sea Devils’ that year. The Time Lady didn’t return them in the finale, but Whittaker said there was still potential for a romance plot in the upcoming audio series:

“And I think also it’s just, never say never! We’ve got adventures to do. We could be [kissing] in the background!”

The actress noted that their primary focus would be on adventure, though:

“It’s kind of isolated stories – rather than it being about the Doctor and Yaz’s relationship, it’s the adventure of the episode. It’s these guys on their travels, what they come across, and their natural banter and rhythm between each other, but then also the protectiveness that they both have for each other. But we haven’t seen anything beyond this.”

Big Finish’s audio series, ‘Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures,’ is expected to come out in July 2025.
