It\u2019s an exciting time to be a fan of Doctor Who<\/a> as not only do we have the six-part 13th series starting at the end of this month, but beloved ex-showrunner Russell T Davies is returning to the show.<\/p>\n Russell T Davies will be back in charge for Doctor Who\u2019s 60th anniversary<\/a> in 2023 and beyond, and one of the first orders of business will be to usher in a brand new Doctor.<\/p>\n Asked by Attitude<\/a> what he thought of Olly Alexander being the next owner of the sonic screwdriver, he was quick to point out that his return to the series is too far off to make any concrete comments on casting. \u201cOh, stop it, what nonsense! I\u2019m not joining any speculation about that. My Doctor Who is way off. It\u2019s the 60th anniversary, which is November 2023! This is all too soon\u2026 I can\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n But he did offer a hint of the sort<\/em> of person he would be looking for. \u201cThey\u2019ve got to be limitless. In a single word, they\u2019ve got to be limitless. They\u2019ve got to be capable of doing anything.\u201d<\/p> Davies had said previously that he wanted the focus to be on the current version of the show for the time being, and that does make sense given we still have many episodes left to go with that before Jodie Whittaker\u2019s run draws to a close \u2013 including a special episode to mark the BBC\u2019s centenary next year.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Doctor Who will return to BBC One on Sunday, 31st October.
