But what does any of it have to do with Yaz? <\/p>
As the arrival of Doctor Who<\/a> series 13 inches ever closer, we\u2019re full steam ahead on the publicity campaign for the new episodes \u2013 which today means a nice new photo of series newcomer John Bishop with co-stars Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill.<\/p>\n Showing Whittaker and Bishop grinning by a graffitied wall \u2013 and Gill looking slightly more intense beside them \u2013 it\u2019s a fun little shot of the new TARDIS trio, who are set to debut as a threesome on BBC One this autumn.<\/p>\n Meet the new team TARDIS! \u2728 pic.twitter.com\/6lp270V5LH<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Doctor Who (@bbcdoctorwho) August 16, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote> But is there more to this photo than meets the eye? Many fans were quick to notice that some of the graffiti on the bottom left of the full image resembled some sort of code, with others soon realising that it represented map co-ordinates.<\/p>\n Why is the 5 highlighted?<\/p>\u2014 Toby-Wan Kenobi (@Thetobylythgoe) August 16, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote> Follow those co-ordinates, and they\u2019ll take you to a familiar location \u2013 the block of flats in Sheffield that stand in for Yaz\u2019s (Mandip Gill) family home, as shown in multiple episodes of the sci-fi series. In fact, it\u2019s one of the few returning locations in Doctor Who\u2019s recent years, and easily identifiable because of its colourful panelling.<\/p>\n leads to a block of flats in Sheffield so I think it\u2019s just the coordinates of where they took the picture pic.twitter.com\/SVF21ZeMKo<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Em Andress (@doctorwhoemst) August 16, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote> So what\u2019s the story here? Why the co-ordinates, and why that destination? While some have theorised it\u2019s just meant to demonstrate where the photo was taken, others have their doubts that this distinctive wall is anywhere near Yaz\u2019s block, while still others are scratching their heads about why that information would be included in a press photo.<\/p>\n Our theory? There\u2019s some sort of message or hint hidden here that has something to do with Yaz\u2019s home. Maybe this is a nudge to where the new series starts its story, or where this new TARDIS team first meets up. Maybe it\u2019s a suggestion that something notable, some piece of viral marketing could crop up at the real-life location, and that fans should keep an eye on it going forward.<\/p>\n Tea at Yaz’s<\/p>\u2014 ????

It certainly seems likely that the whole thing could be connected to the ongoing #FindTheDoctor<\/a> viral marketing mystery that\u2019s been humming away online for a couple of weeks, with fans trying to assemble a special password from various clues (including a voicenote from Mandip Gill herself in-character) that will unlock\u2026 something<\/em>\u2026 on a website.<\/p>\n Could this be the latest clue? Should we glean anything from Yaz\/Gill\u2019s more serene expression in this photo? Or is this a separate puzzle for fans to solve before the main series returns?<\/p>\n Whatever the truth, one thing\u2019s for sure \u2013 we can\u2019t remember a time when Doctor Who gave us so many mysteries to solve before the latest series had even begun airing\u2026<\/p> Doctor Who returns to BBC One this autumn.
