Jodie Whittaker might be handing in her TARDIS keys next autumn after three seasons of Doctor Who<\/a> \u2013 but what about her travelling companions?<\/p>\n

While many fans have assumed that Whittaker\u2019s exit means that co-stars John Bishop and Mandip Gill will also be leaving in 2022, new interviews with Radio Times suggest that the actors are at least open to travelling with another Doctor, if the job were offered to them.<\/p>

\u201cI think the official line is you say you don\u2019t know, but I genuinely don\u2019t know,\u201d Bishop tells the new issue of Radio Times, on sale from Tuesday 26th October.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn some ways, this was so good I wouldn\u2019t want to risk trying to do it again. I just feel so lucky to have had that time with those people.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut also, if someone phones and says Dan Lewis has got a place with the new Doctor, you think\u2026 it\u2019s a conversation to be had, isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone\u2019s excited about Russell,\u201d she says. \u201cFor me, it\u2019s so exciting and a relief to know it\u2019s going on in safe hands.\u201d<\/p>\n
