Jodie Whittaker\u2019s final episode of Doctor Who<\/a> \u2013 The Power of the Doctor \u2013 has debuted an action-packed new teaser.<\/p>\n

The trailer \u2013 released today (Saturday, 8th October) \u2013 provides our most exciting look yet at the special, which will air later this month<\/a> as part of the BBC\u2019s centenary celebrations.<\/p>\n\n<p>The bumper-length episode was previously teased with a shorter trailer aired after Doctor Who\u2019s Easter special <a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/doctor-who-legend-of-the-sea-devils-%e2%98%85%e2%98%85\/"\">Legend of the Sea Devils<\/a>, with fans waiting four months for another glimpse at Whittaker\u2019s swansong.<\/p>\n<p>The star and Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall announced back in July 2021 that <a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/jodie-whittaker-chris-chibnall-leaving-doctor-who-newsupdate\/"\">they would be departing the series together<\/a> the following year.<\/p>\n<p>The Master (Sacha Dhawan) will return for the Thirteenth Doctor\u2019s exit, while the Daleks and the Cybermen \u2013 including Ashad (Patrick O\u2019Kane), also known as the Lone Cyberman \u2013 will also appear.<\/p>\n<div class=\""image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\" style=\""padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source media=\""(max-width:\"
