There are plenty of fresh faces joining Doctor Who<\/a> this series, with a heaving list of guest stars (including the likes of Craig Parkinson, Rochenda Sandall and Blake Harrison) alongside new regular companion Dan Lewis (John Bishop).<\/p>\n

But one new character raises more curiosity than most: Jacob Anderson\u2019s mysterious Vinder, described as a recurring figure fitting somewhere between the main companions and the guest cast, who\u2019s set to appear in multiple episodes of the series.<\/p>\n

Thus far, we\u2019ve known next to nothing about Vinder except for how he looks and that he\u2019s set to get involved with some serious sci-fi action \u2013 but in a new interview with Radio Times magazine<\/strong>, Anderson finally revealed some details about his character, who he describes as a \u201cman of honour\u201d and fighter pilot.<\/p>

Now, we can offer an extended look at what else Anderson was able to tease about his character, including where we meet him in the story.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if I can go into what his relationship is with the Doctor and the fam. But he is a pilot, a fighter pilot, and a very good fighter pilot,\u201d Anderson told Radio Times<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the beginning of the story, he is stranded somewhere, and that\u2019s kind of where his past starts to cross with the Doctor.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I\u2019m pretty sure I can\u2019t say anything else. He\u2019s a man of honour, and he has a really clear code. And that\u2019s a part of his journey over the series.\u201d<\/p>\n
