There\u2019s not long to go before Doctor Who: Flux<\/a> lands on BBC One, with Jodie Whittaker\u2019s last outing as the Time Lord bringing some new faces to the show.<\/p>\n One such face belongs to Game of Thrones star Jacob Anderson<\/a>, who was revealed as a Doctor Who series 13 cast member back in July.<\/p>\n Not much is known about Anderson\u2019s character, other than he is a mysterious space-traveller named Vinder. The actor himself has teased a little bit about what fans can expect in a recent interview shared by the BBC, however.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cI really hope people like Vinder, as a fan of the show and as a fan of those characters that come in and recur and are part of the story beyond their singular story, there are some really iconic characters.<\/p>\n \u201cLike River Song, and Osgood and all these people you really remember and I hope Vinder can be a part of that, I really hope people like him.\u201d<\/p> Anderson, who recently revealed he auditioned to play Rory<\/a>, went on to explain what getting the role of Vinder was like.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a complete surprise, it felt like it was completely out of the blue,\u201d he said. \u201cBut it was one of those things that I always wanted to do. There are certain goals or dreams you might have in your life and the minute you stop obsessing over them, that\u2019s when they happen!<\/p>\n \u201cI had no expectation at all of being asked to be part of it, and Chris [Chibnall] swooped in and asked if I\u2019d like to be part of this iconic show that means a lot to me.\u201d<\/p>\n Though we don\u2019t know exactly how Vinder will fit into the story, we do know the Doctor will have plenty of foes to face, including the mysteriously named Flux<\/a> and newbies Karvanista<\/a> and The Ravagers<\/a>, as well as old monsters like the Weeping Angels<\/a>, the Ood and the Cybermen.<\/p>\n Doctor Who returns to BBC One on Sunday 31st October.
