The 13th season of Doctor Who<\/a>, subtitled Flux, not only featured a number of returning villains \u2013 such as the Daleks and the Weeping Angels \u2013 but it also introduced a number of new antagonists, including Swarm and Azure.<\/p>\n

There was also The Grand Serpent<\/a>, an alien creature that infiltrated UNIT and struck a deal with the Sontarans, but he was eventually brought down by Vinder and Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, who stranded him on an asteroid in deep space.<\/p>\n

Parkinson recently caught up with RadioTimes.com<\/a> exclusively, and when asked how he looks back at his time on Doctor Who, he said: \u201cWith so much love and fondness. I mean, talk about a juggernaut. That was incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cOf course it was otherworldly, but to work with Jodie [Whittaker] and Mandip [Gill] on that was heaps and heaps of fun, and I think the way that Jodie left the show, it\u2019ll be in people\u2019s minds for a long, long time.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, you know, the Grand Serpent isn\u2019t dead \u2013 he\u2019s floating out there somewhere in space, so who knows?\u201d<\/p>\n
