After making her return to Doctor Who<\/a> in last year\u2019s special The Power of the Doctor<\/a>, Tegan is back once again in a new clip, and while last time she was seen palling around with Ace, this time there\u2019s another companion reunion on the cards.<\/p>\n

In the short clip, titled The Passenger and written by Pete McTighe as part of the trailer for the season 20 Blu-ray release<\/a>, Tegan is seen getting a mysterious text saying \u201cBlue Box\u201d and telling her to come to the fairground.<\/p>\n

Once there, she discovers who it was that sent the text, waiting for her, to which she exclaims: \u201cThat\u2019s impossible!\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Nyssa! The pair embrace and Nyssa reveals that she was looking for Tegan, having \u201chitched a ride\u201d in the TARDIS from Terminus, where the pair last saw one another.<\/p>\n

You can watch the full clip right here now:<\/p>\n\n<p>In the clip, as the pair get reacquainted, Nyssa tells Tegan the Doctor wants to see her, to which she asks: \u201cWhich one? Scarf or celery, or woman?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The duo reminisce about the past, with Nyssa saying she\u2019s missed their interactions and Tegan saying she wishes she\u2019d realised how lucky she was.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/doctor-who-peter-capaldi-speech-exclusive-newsupdate\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Doctor Who writer breaks down speech that \u201cdefined\u201d Peter Capaldi\u2019s Doctor<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/matthew-waterhouse-adric-doctor-who-exit-newsupdate\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Matthew Waterhouse \u201cdidn\u2019t like\u201d Adric\u2019s \u201cshocking\u201d Doctor Who exit<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tegan enters the TARDIS for the prospect of a second chance, but finds herself in the dark, having been tricked by the Mara!<\/p>\n<p>The Mara tempts her with her deepest desires, before the trailer begins.
