John Bishop\u2019s starring role in Doctor Who<\/a>: Flux was well-received by fans who came to love Dan \u2013 and it\u2019s something the comedian is \u201cgrateful\u201d for.<\/p>\n

The Liverpudlian was announced to star in the six-part special back on New Year\u2019s Day and he\u2019s back at the turn of the year once more for another adventure.<\/p>\n

Bishop plays Dan, a food bank volunteer from Liverpool who had his life flipped upside down and then some when he ran into Jodie Whittaker\u2019s Doctor.<\/p>\n

Speaking about landing a role in the iconic sci-fi series, Bishop said exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a> at the ITV Entertainment Schedule Launch: \u201cTo get to do something like Doctor Who is just mental and it will always be a thing that I\u2019ll always be grateful for.\u201d<\/p>\n
