And according to the episode\u2019s script<\/a>, there were initially tentative plans for a couple of other familiar faces to make brief appearances as well.<\/p> The script reveals that in one of the special\u2019s final scenes \u2013 which saw various former companions meet for a support group \u2013 it had been hoped that Jackie Tyler (Camille Coduri) and Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman) might make cameos, alongside more recent companion Ryan (Tosin Cole).<\/p>\n In setting the scene, the script reads: \u201cSat in circle. ACE, TEGAN, IAN CHESTERTON, JO GRANT, MEL BUSH, KATE STEWART, DAN LEWIS. Ace has Graham on one side, Yaz on the other, and Tegan just past Yaz. They are all wearing handwritten name stickers for each other\u2019s benefit!\u201d<\/p>\n And it continures: \u201cOn a laptop screen we might even see a few others joining in: Martha or Ryan or Jackie Tyler!\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s not immediately clear why none of the three former stars were able to appear in the end, but it\u2019s possible it could have been an issue with scheduling conflicts. Agyeman hasn\u2019t appeared in Who since the 2010 Christmas special The End of Time, while Coduri\u2019s last appearance came in 2010 \u2013 although both have appeared in several Big Finish audio dramas since then.<\/p>\n The full script for The Power of the Doctor was added to the BBC\u2019s Script Library last week (4th November 2022) giving fans the chance to peruse the episode as it appeared on paper.<\/p>\n As well as marking the BBC\u2019s centenary, the special was the final episode of Jodie Whittaker\u2019s tenure as the Doctor and Chris Chibnall\u2019s stint as showrunner, with the pair set to be replaced by the returning David Tennant<\/a> and Russell T Davies respectively for next year\u2019s hotly anticipated 60th anniversary celebrations.<\/p>\n Tennant will be back for three specials before making way for another new Doctor, with Sex Education star Ncuti Gatwa<\/a> set to provide his take on the iconic Time Lord following the anniversary.<\/p>\n Doctor Who is available to stream on\u00a0BBC iPlayer<\/a>\u00a0with episodes of the classic series also available on BritBox \u2013 you can sign up for a\u00a07-day free trial here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our\u00a0Sci-Fi<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0to see what\u2019s on tonight.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>subscribe now<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
