“I might be here with a walking stick in a few decades.” <\/p>

Millie Gibson has said that her Doctor Who<\/a> character Ruby Sunday could have a part to play in the sci-fi series for years to come.<\/p>\n

The Fifteenth Doctor\u2019s companion was first introduced in last year\u2019s Christmas special The Church on Ruby Road<\/a> and will shortly be back on our screens in season 14<\/a>, while it\u2019s also been confirmed that she\u2019ll return for season 15 despite earlier reports to the contrary.<\/p>\n

And it looks like her stay in the TARDIS could extend even beyond that, based on Gibson\u2019s comments in an interview for this week\u2019s issue of Radio Times<\/strong> magazine.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know how it ends next season,\u201d she said of season 15, which is currently in production.<\/p>

\u201cBut after that I can only guess. I might be here with a walking stick in a few decades.\u201d<\/p>\n

So while that isn\u2019t exactly a confirmation that she\u2019ll be sticking around for season 16 and beyond, she\u2019s certainly keeping the door open to a lengthy stint on the show.<\/p>\n

Gatwa himself recently teased that he could be staying on for a third season as The Doctor, with the former Sex Education<\/a> star insisting during a recent exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com<\/a> that he\u2019s \u201cnot going anywhere<\/a>\u201c.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the London premiere for his first season, Gatwa coyly said: \u201cI\u2019ll be around for a while. You\u2019re not getting rid of me yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sci-fi juggernaut will return to our screens on Saturday 11th May with a double-header, which, in a first for the series, will be made available on BBC iPlayer before its debut on BBC One that evening.<\/p>\n

The series will consist of eight episodes in total that will see the Doctor and Ruby encounter space babies, meet The Beatles and battle Jinkx Monsoon\u2019s mysterious villain Maestro, as well as meet\u00a0Jonathan Groff<\/a>\u2018s enigmatic character in a\u00a0Regency-themed episode<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And it will also include\u00a0an epic finale that showrunner Russell T Davies has teased<\/a>\u00a0will leave fans \u201cscreaming\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cTry to stay unspoilt, because it\u2019s so hard to be unspoilt with things,\u201d he said. \u201cTry, try, try, and you will have a whale of a time with that one.\u201d<\/p>\n
