As the Doctor Who BBC centenary special currently films, John Bishop has begun his ‘Right Here Right Now’ tour with an ambitious series of dates and venues. One might believe that he won’t have the time to film more Doctor Who but his comments on BBC Breakfast on 6 September suggest otherwise.

“Oh, it’s been brilliant – and it’s not finished, Bishop told hosts Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. “We’re still filming now.”

Bishop also gave Minchin and Walker some additional information about his Doctor Who character Dan’s profession.

“Dan Lewis, and I’m a plasterer from Liverpool.”

Doctor Who Series 13 will consist of six episodes of a single story. The series is scheduled to air in autumn of 2021.

There will be three additional specials in 2022, airing on New Year’s Day, spring, and a BBC Centenary special in Autumn which will be the last for Jodie Whittaker’s thirteenth Doctor.
