Will Doctor Who series 13 be delayed by the lockdown? It’s been the question on many a Whovian’s lips ever since the coronavirus pandemic forced various TV productions to shut down – and while “socially-distanced” TV is now beginning to film again, a BBC executive has cast doubt on whether Doctor Who could return under those circumstances.

“It’ll be down to social distancing,” Rhodri Talfan Davies, Director of BBC Wales, said during an online Q&A when asked about the future of Doctor Who.

“A production like that, which at any point employs hundreds of people, freelance and staff, I don’t believe can be made to the current standard in a socially distanced environment.

“So it depends when you think social distancing is going to end.”

Davies also noted that these production issues could vary between Wales and England, thanks to the differing social distancing guidelines being enacted by the Welsh Assembly Government. Since 2005, Doctor Who has been made in Wales, and for the last few series filming and production has been centred at the Roath Lock Production Hub in Cardiff Bay.

“It may well be that the rules on social distancing in Wales are different to those in England,” Davies said.

“And obviously each production centre from those two countries is going to need to respond to the specific rules and regulations that each of the governments are introducing.”

Currently, Doctor Who already has one upcoming episode filmed – the late 2020/early 2021 festive special Revolution of the Daleks – with series 13 shooting previously rumoured to be kicking off around September 2020. If Davies is correct and socially distanced filming rules still apply by that time, it could be that Who fans have to wait even longer for the new episodes than previously thought.

However, the truth may be more complex than first appears. While the BBC declined to comment on Davies’ remarks, RadioTimes.com understands that the broadcaster still has no concrete plans to delay the start of Doctor Who production, a date for which was never officially decided anyway.

It’s also worth noting that social distancing measures have been changing regularly, and by autumn TV production might be able to operate with fewer restrictions.

Overall, though, it sounds like there’s still a bit of a question mark over the future of Doctor Who. If only we knew someone with a time machine who could go and take a look…

Thirteen to stay for series 13.

Thirteen to stay for series 13.

As reported on Radio Times.com and other publications, It looks like Jodie Whittaker will have at least one more series worth of adventures in time and space – after the Doctor Who star let slip that she would be returning for another run.

Whittaker is currently starring in her second series as the iconic character, and has broadly won acclaim for her turn as the first female Doctor in the show’s history.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, she said, “I’m doing another season. That might be a massive exclusive that I’m not supposed to say, but it’s unhelpful for me to say [I don’t know] because it would be a massive lie!”

It’s not yet clear whether Whittaker’s full cohort of companions, played by Tosin Cole, Mandip Gill and Bradley Walsh, will return – but with Whittaker already signed on it seems likely that we can expect the ‘fam’ to be back too.

Whittaker also spoke about the joy that playing the character has brought her. She said, “I absolutely adore it. At some point, these shoes are going to be handed on, but it’s not yet. I’m clinging on tight!”

Whittaker’s spell as the Doctor has already seen her do battle with all sorts of new monsters, travel to a variety of interesting historical periods and reignite her rivalry with the Doctor’s nemisis the Master.

And later this series some other old foes are set to return, including the Judoon and one of the most iconic of all Who villains – the Cybermen.

Doctor Who continues on Sunday 26th January at 7.10pm on BBC One.
