Jenna Coleman has hinted that the stories in the new season of Doctor Who will be relevant to current real-life events.

Speaking at Comic-Con in San Diego about Season 9’s tone, Coleman told TMS: “I wouldn’t say rompy, but a lot more seizing the moment and adrenaline-fueled. I think rompy is…cause you know, the nature of some of the episodes are not, [there are] some darker ones.”

She revealed: “There’s some really provoking episodes, actually … I suppose something that has a relevance to some stuff kind of happening today, really interesting … makes you think … provoking.”

The actress added: “…it feels like a new kind of episode for Doctor Who; I mean maybe more political.”
