Doctor Who writer holding on to story idea

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Doctor Who’ writer Pete McTighe is “holding on” to his season 13 idea that was axed due to COVID.
The writer previously penned episodes ‘Kerblam!’ for season 11 and ‘Praxeus’ for season 12, and although he does not feature among the writers for season 13 as production clashed with his series ‘The Pact’ due to COVID delays, he has hopes that his idea will be used in the future.
Pete told National World: “I was going to come and do series 13. I was doing [crime drama] ‘The Pact’ at the same time – when COVID happened, we had to move our shooting dates for ‘The Pact’, which meant that I was kind of taken out for the production period of ‘Doctor Who’.
“We shot ‘The Pact’ series one at the same time ‘Doctor Who’ was shooting. We were shooting, actually, in quarries next door to each other at one stage. They were in a quarry shooting the Sontaran episode, and we were literally over the road in the woods shooting ‘The Pact’.
When asked about his idea for the ‘Doctor Who’ episode, he said: “”I’ll hold on to it, because ‘Doctor Who’ ideas are never dead. Hopefully one day I’ll get to use it.”
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that a special episode of ‘Doctor Who’ to mark the BBC’s Centenary will see the return of two former companions.
The Master, the Daleks and the Cybermen are all set to return later this year for Jodie Whittaker’s final outing as the Time Lord in the BBC cult classic.
However, fans will be most excited to hear that Janet Fielding is set to reprise her role as Tegan Jovanka – which she played from 1981 and 1984 – and Sophie Aldred will be back as Ace, the companion to Sylvester McCoy’s Doctor from 1987 to 1989.
Sacha Dhawan will return as the Doctor’s enemy The Master.
And Vinder (Jacob Anderson) and Kate Stewart (Jemma Redgrave) are also set for a comeback.
Showrunner Chris Chibnall said: “Jodie’s final feature-length story contains a plethora of treats and surprises for audiences and fans, not least the return of two of the most beloved companions in the show’s history. They’ll be helping the Doctor fight on three fronts, against her deadliest enemies: the Master, Daleks and Cybermen, in one huge story!
For the BBC’s Centenary, we’ll be celebrating the past, present and future of Doctor Who, in a fittingly thrilling, epic and emotional send-off for the Thirteenth Doctor.”
