THE THIRTEENTH DOCTOR ADVENTURES:
THE RETURN OF THE DOCTOR

​

Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill star in The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures: The Return of the Doctor, a full-cast audio drama from Big Finish Productions, written by Rory Thomas Howes. 

​

Having saved the peaceful Zaarians from an evil alien threat, the Doctor and Yaz sail off to their next adventure. Only this time, Yaz wonders if they’re moving on, or running away.  

Convincing a grudging Doctor to return to the planet, they are shocked to find the Zaarians in turmoil. What did the Doctor do? Why is the city in ruins? And what’s that voice in Yaz’s head…?

Jodie Whittaker said: “What’s great about this episode is the exploration of Yaz being a bit more combative against the Doctor. Very often we’re quite in sync, but for the Doctor particularly, getting challenged and having to justify certain bits of her personality, it’s really good for her.” 

​

Her co-star Mandip Gill added: “Throughout most of the TV series, Yaz was learning a lot from the Doctor and so had to listen, but in this series their friendship has developed to a point where she can argue back when she doesn’t agree, she can question some of the Doctor’s decisions and what she thinks the Doctor should be, and can take charge a bit – which might not always be helpful!”
