John Bishop’s starring role in Doctor Who: Flux was well-received by fans who came to love Dan – and it’s something the comedian is “grateful” for.

The Liverpudlian was announced to star in the six-part special back on New Year’s Day and he’s back at the turn of the year once more for another adventure.

Bishop plays Dan, a food bank volunteer from Liverpool who had his life flipped upside down and then some when he ran into Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor.

Speaking about landing a role in the iconic sci-fi series, Bishop said exclusively to RadioTimes.com at the ITV Entertainment Schedule Launch: “To get to do something like Doctor Who is just mental and it will always be a thing that I’ll always be grateful for.”
