What We Know About Series 14

Doctor Who series 14 is coming up next year. This is a roundup of advance information and leaks about the season and the preceding Christmas special. Sources are at the very bottom below the cut.

CAST

Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor. Unlike his predecessors, this Doctor changes his outfit a lot.

Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday. Like her actress, Ruby is a native of Manchester.

Returning characters:

Jemma Redgrave as Kate Stewart, head of UNIT.

Bonnie Langford as former companion Mel Bush.

Villains:

Jinkx Monsoon as a villain favouring piano-themed attire, described as "the Doctor's most powerful enemy yet". Not everyone survives the encounter...

Indira Varma as the Duchess. RTD: "a whole new audience will be hiding behind the settee when the Duchess unleashes her terror." Varma previously played Suzie Costello on 2 episodes of Torchwood.

Other characters:

Aneurin Barnard as Roger ap Gwilliam.

Jonathan Groff as a "mysterious key" character.

Lenny Rush as Morris, in time for the Doctor's "greatest nightmare". RTD: "But what secrets does he hold? What's secreted in the Segway?! And will his terrifying probabilities be proved true..?"

Jack Forsyth-Noble as Will.

Gemma Arrowsmith and Mary Malone will appear in the Christmas special, while Majid Mehdizadeh-Valoujerdy and Billy Brayshaw will appear in separate episodes.

Also announced to be appearing: Sophie Ablett, Anita Dobson, Michelle Greenidge, Bhav Joshi, Millie Kent, Eilidh Loan, Pete MacHale, Miles Yekinni, Hemi Yeroham. Dobson previously appeared in the audio play "Blood of the Daleks".

EPISODES

There will be a Christmas special in December 2023, followed by an eight-episode season. (The BBC posted that the season would air in spring, but then removed the information.) Russell T Davies is the showrunner.

A guest star from 2005 returned for the special.

Episode 1's title was coincidentally spoken aloud in a third-season episode of Star Trek: Picard. It includes the words roar, Glastonbury, and conquistador.

Episode 2 contains the words Liverpool, legions, and non-diegetic. Scene 10 begins "INT. CANTEEN. DAY."

RTD thinks episode 4 is one of the best things he's ever written. The line "I once went to the top of the Shard" was cut from it.

The script for episode 7 begins with the line "INT. COFFEE BAR, USA — DAY, 1947".

Episode 8 will contain the words kingdom, gold, and Tigella. Scene 73, featuring the Doctor and Ruby in the TARDIS while "enemies are being fought", was the last scene filmed for the season.

There's a 1960s episode, featuring the Doctor and Ruby in snazzy period outfits.

The episode guest-starring both Varma and Groff will be set in the Regency era. "Dress to impress, and beware the Duchess."

CREATOR RAMBLINGS

According to RTD, we will be "staggered" by the 2023 festive season surprises.

There are monsters which are "impossible to describe" without referencing Fourth and Seventh Doctor adventures.

RTD promises that there are "plans still unfurling" which have yet to be made public.

Production designer Philip Sims said he was excited about "designing a new Dalek".

Davies has hinted that the blue doors Michelle Greenidge and Anita Dobson were photographed with are significant.

Script editor Scott Handcock mentioned filming which required nine babies, as well as Ncuti and Millie.

Monsoon's first day on set "teams her with an unexpected name from the Tom Baker era".

Anita Dobson has said she's playing Ruby's neighbour, whose name is either Mrs. Flood or Blood.

RTD used a potato emoji while commenting on publicity photos from the Regency episode (Sontarans?). Davies was also very coy about the identity of Groff's character.

RTD mentioned one episode having gone through three titles with no decision having yet been made. Another episode had "sixpence" in the title for a while, until the coin was cut.

RTD teased a famous guest star appearing in a scene with a giant statue head in the finale.

While writing about the final days of filming, RTD said that "Yasmin Finney wrapped a few days ago".

OTHER

Filming began on December 7, 2022 and wrapped on July 14, 2023.

Block One was directed by Dylan Holmes Williams. Block Two was directed by Mark Tonderai. It included the Christmas special. Block Three was directed by Julie Anne Robinson. It contains "two wildly different episodes, by two different writers". Block Four was directed by Ben Chessell. Block Five was directed by Jamie Donoghue.

Fifteen will be getting a brand-new sonic screwdriver.

LEAKS

Michelle Greenidge appears to be playing Ruby Sunday's mother. Since Greenidge and Millie Gibson are different ethnicities, she is presumably an adoptive, foster, or step mother.

Campaign posters for the "Albion Party", with Roger ap Gwilliam as the "Space Saviour", were spotted on location filming.

Jinkx Monsoon is in the '60s episode.

Millie Kent is playing Valerie, and Sophie Ablett is Marti Bridges.

Mel Bush will be appearing in the season finale.

Reports from finale location filming, albeit second-hand, of someone on set saying, "This is where the Daleks come in".

According to his CV, Majid Mehdizadeh-Valoujerdy will be playing Carson in an episode directed by Julie Anne Robinson.

Davina McCall may be the returning 2005 guest star. She will apparently host a genealogy show on which Ruby appears, and will be crushed by a falling Christmas tree.

RUMOURS

UNIT may be getting its own spinoff. (SOURCE)

The DWM production journal has led some fans to theorize Steven Moffat will be returning as a writer.

The new Horse Ranch sims DLC is making me fondly reminisce Red Dead Online, to the point I kinda want to re-install the game. I had so much fun playing it, but the game is abandoned and there wasn't anything left for us to do except being harassed by griefers.

Nevertheless, look at our beautiful posse matching their horses. Afsha the naturalist/moonshiner with Ablette, Grigou the trader poacher with Ravenous, and my Jhosie the collector with Pinkie Pie. Those were not our only roles, just the ones that had an impact on character development. I.E. we were also all bounty hunters as a fun group activity.

(And of course Esca's An-Yi, who was zoning out every time we played together and whose only thought was "stab". They never figured out how to buy a horse despite us trying to help, decided they would ride with me on Pinkie instead)

“Truckers Must Cut Services,” Vancouver Province. May 14, 1942. Page 6. ----- NEW WESTMINSTER, May 14. - Operators of commercial truck lines were asked to eliminate duplicate services and to take other steps to conserve rubber and gasoline when E. V. Ablett, regional controller for B. C. for the Dominion administrator of services met members of the Automotive Transport Association of B. C. at a meeting here. 

A. L. King, Vancouver, president of the association, was chairman of the meeting at which 90 trucking firms were represented. Mr. Ablett pointed out the seriousness of the tire situation in Canada and warned the truck lines that if they did not voluntarily take steps to conserve rubber, federal authorities would act. 

Duplicate lines must be eliminated and trucking services must be pooled, he told them. Travelling of empty trucks must be curtailed also as much as possible and there must be every effort made to carry full truck loads instead of only part loads. 

The regional controller asked these steps be taken within two weeks and as a result the association is holding various meetings in the city and Fraser Valley at which the organization of the trucking business will be outlined.

Season previews: Gold Coast Suns (11th)

Last season: 15th (9 wins, 14 losses, 91.7%) Notable ins: Jed Walter (no. 3 draft pick) Notable outs: Mabior Chol (Hawthorn), Elijah Hollands (Carlton)

Is it too harsh to say that Gold Coast’s greatest contribution in their history is the extra game they tack on to the AFL’s multi-billion dollar broadcast deal? The other 17 teams might disagree only on the basis that the Suns occasionally act as a stud farm for grabbing established players to top up their own lists. The Suns year-after-year rank last in memberships, game attendances, TV ratings and the less scientific measure of ‘care factor.’  This is the landscape that confronts Damien Hardwick, their new coach who is not at all accustomed to operating off-Broadway. Does he see a realistic path to turning it around or, after achieving all there is to achieve at Richmond, is this a six-year mission in boosting his own superannuation balance?

‘Dimma’ famously said at his grand unveiling that 80% of their premiership list was already in place. Let’s go with him for a second and engage in the thought experiment: if you were to describe a Grand Final winning side, what would it look like? An above-average ruckman (Jarrod Witts), hard-nosed midfielders (Matt Rowell, Touk Miller), damaging ball-users (Noah Anderson, Ben Ainsworth, Lachie Weller), rock-solid defenders (Sam Collins, Charlie Ballard), a dominant key forward or two (Ben King and perhaps Walter) and some genuine X-factor (Jack Lukosuis, Bailey Humphrey). The math might not quite work out but we can at least follow the logic of Hardwick’s big call.

The new coach’s biggest challenge will be overcoming a culture of irrelevance. The Suns have never placed higher than 12th on the ladder and their best season is still a “what if?” scenario where Gary Ablett Jr busted his shoulder (that was ten years and four coaches ago). Attempts at responsible list management have been undone by stars wanting out, unproven youngsters being paid insane sums to stay and recruits signed to deals well above market rates to deign to play for the league’s consistently worst side. This post would well exceed its word limit if it went through every instance of these but take one: Rory Atkins was bizarrely offered a five-year contract to leave Adelaide in 2020 and has since played most of his football in the seconds.

All that aside, Hardwick should be backed in to improve the Gold Coast Suns. He is an excellent coach who came into a Richmond side that was all those years ago on its knees and we know what happened next. There is plenty of talent on a list that is crying out to be matched with a winning game plan and mentality. Expect an adjustment period but the Suns sleep-walked their way to nine wins last year and can be relied upon to do at least marginally better this season. Don’t bet your hard-earned money on it just yet but look forward to more than that in 2025 and beyond.

A star's legacy is at stake as a coach outstays his welcome, next up is the Western Bulldogs...
