Jodie Whittaker and John Bishop share an emotional story about finishing Doctor Who: Flux<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0Whittaker made television history in 2017 when she became the first woman to portray the Doctor on the long-running British sci-fi series.\u00a0She took over for Peter Capaldi in the\u00a0Doctor Who\u00a0<\/em>Christmas special, “Twice Upon a Time,” and Bishop later joined Whittaker as the Doctor’s new companion, Dan Lewis, on\u00a0Doctor Who\u00a0<\/em>season 13. Both actors will star alongside Mandip Gill (playing Yasmin Khan) in the upcoming\u00a0Doctor Who\u00a0<\/em>specials set to air later this year, which will be Whittaker’s final appearances as the Doctor.<\/p>\n

Doctor Who<\/em> season 13\u00a0told a single story arc, collectively called Flux<\/em>, across the season’s 6 episodes. In it, the Doctor and her companion Yaz must contend with the Flux, a mysterious universe-destroying anomaly, while enemies and secrets from the Doctor’s past threaten to stop them. Along the way, they pick up Dan as their newest addition on the TARDIS. The three time-travelers deal with the fallout of the Flux in the 2022\u00a0Doctor Who\u00a0<\/em>specials, “Eve of the Daleks,” “Legend of the Sea Devils,” and a final special with a currently unknown name.<\/p>\n

The two revealed that after they had wrapped filming, they\u00a0went out to dinner with fellow cast members, Mandip Gill and Bradley Walsh, where Bishop “burst into tears<\/em>.”\u00a0<\/em>According to Bishop and Whittaker, a mixture of joy and gratitude caused the whole group to become very emotional. Read Bishop and Whittaker’s story below:<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n

Bishop<\/strong>: \u201cWe had a moment when we finished Doctor Who. We went out for dinner, and we got talking about it, and I just burst out crying. Because I thought these relationships that I had established with people that I wasn\u2019t expecting to establish.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Whittaker<\/strong>: \u201cThere was me, Mandip [Gill], Brad [Walsh], and you\u2026 and we just all became completely over-emotional. Brad like dived up, started giving you a massive hug\u2026 Why we were all so emotional about it was because there was just so much joy.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Bishop<\/strong>: \u201cYeah, it was joy, and also I think appreciation and gratitude for having reached that point.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There is no doubt about the immense\u00a0impact\u00a0Doctor Who<\/em> has made on pop culture since the sci-fi series first premiered in 1963. Still, Bishop and Whittaker’s story reveals that the influential television series made just as much an impact on the cast as it did on its viewers. Although Bishop’s time on\u00a0Doctor Who\u00a0<\/em>was brief relative to the series’ history, clearly he treasured both his role on the show and his time working with its cast and crew. His feelings about the show were enough to move him to tears.<\/p>\n

As one of the longest-running television series, Doctor Who\u00a0<\/em>is sure to remain a genre mainstay as well as a point of pride for those who worked on the show. The series’ fanbase remains dedicated even now, almost\u00a060 years after its debut. Although Whittaker and Bishop are leaving the series,\u00a0Doctor Who\u00a0<\/em>season 14 will be led by Russell T Davies. As the showrunner who revived the series in 2005 returns,\u00a0Doctor Who<\/em><\/strong> is primed to start another wild adventure.<\/p>\n
