While we\u2019re still a few months away, Jodie Whittaker\u2019s final Doctor Who<\/a> episode is coming soon, with fans around the world furiously speculating about what the centenary special could include.<\/p>\n Will Sacha Dhawan\u2019s Master make an appearance? Could Jo Martin\u2019s Doctor have her story concluded? And will we see the next Doctor (or David Tennant)<\/a> arrive at the end, or have to wait until 2023?<\/p>\n For now, those questions remain unanswered \u2013 but that doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019ve not learned anything. In fact, this week Whittaker herself seems to have confirmed a persistent rumour about her regeneration episode, namely that former series companion Bradley Walsh (who departed in early 2021) will be back for her send-off.<\/p>\n The hint came during a conversation with current Who co-star John Bishop on the latter\u2019s Three Little Words podcast, as the pair reminisced about their final day of filming together.<\/p> \u201cWe had a moment when we finished Doctor Who. We went out for a dinner, and we got talking about it, and I just\u2026 I just burst out crying,\u201d Bishop recalled. \u201cBecause [of] these relationships that I\u2019d established with people that I wasn\u2019t expecting to establish.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere was me, Mandip [Gill], Brad [Walsh], and you, and we were in this private dining room, weren\u2019t we?\u201d Whittaker added. \u201cAnd we just all became completely over-emotional.<\/p>\n “We just all became completely over-emotional.” ????
