We don\u2019t yet know much about next year\u2019s season 15, other than that it will once again star Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson, and that they will be joined by a new companion<\/a> played by Varada Sethu<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, showrunner Russell T Davies has now given us a particular episode to look out for, highlighting the sixth instalment in the next run as \u201chilarious\u201d and \u201ca riot\u201d.<\/p>\n Speaking at a BAFTA event called A Life in Pictures: Russell T Davies, he said: \u201cThere\u2019s one next year where I very specifically said, \u2018I want this film crossed with that thing,\u2019 and that\u2019s the best episode ever! Episode 6 next year, watch episode 6 next year \u2013 it\u2019s a riot. My God, it\u2019s a riot. It\u2019s hilarious.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s not yet clear whether the episode in question has been written by Davies or whether it comes from another writer, but the showrunner has already teased that we will see more female writers and writers of colour working on season 15.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Season 14\u2019s episodes were written entirely by Davies himself, other than Rogue<\/a>, which was written by Kate Herron and Briony Redman, and Boom<\/a>, which was written by Moffat.<\/p>\n That episode introduced us to the character of Mundy Flynn<\/a>, who was surprisingly played by Sethu.<\/p>\n While Sethu is returning as a new companion for next year, she is not expected to be playing the same character, with Moffat teasing that there is \u201ca plan\u201d<\/a> when it comes to this double casting.<\/p> Davies previously revealed that fans can expect to see season 15 in May 2025<\/a>, saying in an interview with The Big Issue in 2023: \u201cIf I sound a bit hyper, it\u2019s because I just this morning delivered a Doctor Who script that will be on air in May 2025.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd it\u2019s brand new. It does things we\u2019ve never done before. The writing really pushed me. It\u2019s such a mad episode, I had to deliver it with a diagram explaining what\u2019s going on! I\u2019ve never had to do that in my entire life before.\u201d<\/p>\n Doctor Who season 14 is available to stream in full on BBC iPlayer<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0Previous seasons are also available to stream on iPlayer,\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>\u00a0and\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/a> to see what\u2019s on tonight. <\/strong>For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to\u00a0<\/strong>The Radio Times Podcast<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n Davies has set some high expectations for season 15’s sixth instalment, calling it “the best episode ever”. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":53686,"template":"","categories":[1,5],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/doctor-whos-russell-t-davies-teases-season-15-episode-my-god-its-a-riot-scaled.jpg",2560,1707,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/doctor-whos-russell-t-davies-teases-season-15-episode-my-god-its-a-riot-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/doctor-whos-russell-t-davies-teases-season-15-episode-my-god-its-a-riot-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/doctor-whos-russell-t-davies-teases-season-15-episode-my-god-its-a-riot-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/doctor-whos-russell-t-davies-teases-season-15-episode-my-god-its-a-riot-1024x683.jpg",800,534,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/doctor-whos-russell-t-davies-teases-season-15-episode-my-god-its-a-riot-1536x1024.jpg",1536,1024,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/doctor-whos-russell-t-davies-teases-season-15-episode-my-god-its-a-riot-2048x1365.jpg",2048,1365,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Davies has set some high expectations for season 15's sixth instalment, calling it \"the best episode ever\".","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/53685"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Ncuti](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/476316-3177478.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"Doctor")
