Okay, it's been two weeks since I last did a Doctor Who blog and if anything else gets leaked this week, expect this blog to get something of an edit.
Anyways, Series 14 has resumed filming and with it, some casting details have emerged.
First of all, on the returning front, it wasn't that long ago that Jemma Redgrave returned to the series in the final two episodes of Series 13 as well as The Power Of The Doctor back in October. Today, the BBC confirmed that Redgrave will reprise her role as Kate Stewart in the upcoming series with the actress spotted filming scenes with Millie Gibson's Ruby Sunday.
As to why Kate Stewart and presumably UNIT are back has yet to be revealed but it's nice to see the character who debuted over a decade ago in the seventh series episode, The Power Of Three will also factor into the current era as well.
At this rate, Kate Stewart will have had as many onscreen interactions with the Doctor as her father did back in the day. That's pretty cool, isn't it?
As for new characters, Welsh actor Aneurin Barnard (recently seen in Netflix's 1899) will also appear in the current block as the mysterious Roger ap Gwilliam. The character, going by filming pics from last week seems to be a politician and may also be a recurring character and he's not the only one too. Ruth Madeley who will play Shirley Anne Bingham recently confirmed that her character will be recurring in this current era as well.
As for Russell T. Davies, he mentioned in DWM that the second episode of Series 14 will contain the words 'Liverpool' and 'non-diegetic' and will also start one of the most important shot in the show's history. Prior to Ncuti Gatwa's casting, Davies also mentioned seeing actors under 30 for the role of the Doctor as well women and non binary actors.
As for the episode currently being filmed, a slug like monster has been spotted on set during the week while Mark Tonderei who directed both The Ghost Monument and Rosa will also be directing for this series.
Series 14 continues to currently film and will air on both BBC1 and stream on Disney+ from November 2023.
