List of episodes

The thirteenth series of the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who, known collectively as Flux, was broadcast from 31 October to 5 December 2021. The series is the third and last to be led by Chris Chibnall as head writer and executive producer. It is the thirteenth to air following the programme's revival in 2005, and the thirty-ninth season overall. The series, initially announced in November 2019, was the last to be broadcast on Sunday nights, continuing the trend set by the previous two series. It was followed by three associated specials, all of which aired in 2022.

Jodie Whittaker returns for her third and final series as the Thirteenth Doctor, an incarnation of the Doctor, an alien Time Lord who travels through time and space in her ship, the TARDIS, which externally assumes the appearance of a British police box. The thirteenth series also stars Mandip Gill and John Bishop as the Doctor's travelling companions, playing Yasmin Khan and Dan Lewis, respectively. The series follows the Thirteenth Doctor and her companions as they navigate a universe-ending anomaly called the "Flux", while dealing with enemies and secrets from the Doctor's past.

The series consists of six episodes, which form a single story across the series. The six episodes were directed by Jamie Magnus Stone and Azhur Saleem; Stone returned from directing for the previous series, with Saleem directing as a new contributor. Chibnall wrote all six episodes of the series, co-writing one episode with Maxine Alderton, who also returned after writing for the previous series. Filming commenced in November 2020, and was completed by August 2021. The series received mixed reviews from critics.

Episodes

For the first time since The Trial of a Time Lord (1986), and the third time in the programme's history, the series tells one complete story across its entirety, rather than self-contained episodic stories.[1][2] It is the second time where all episodes are encompassed by a single story number; The Key to Time (1978–79) maintained separate serial designations.[3]

The series is the third to feature Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor.[5][6] Mandip Gill also returns as Yasmin Khan.[7][8] Following the departures of Bradley Walsh and Tosin Cole in "Revolution of the Daleks" (2021), John Bishop joined the cast for the series as Dan Lewis.[9]

Jacob Anderson appears in a recurring role as Vinder.[10][11] Jo Martin returned as the Fugitive Doctor in "Once, Upon Time", having last appeared in the twelfth series episodes "Fugitive of the Judoon" and "The Timeless Children" (2020).[12] Additionally Jemma Redgrave reprises her role as Kate Stewart, a recurring character alongside the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors, who was last seen in "The Zygon Invasion" / "The Zygon Inversion" (2015).[13] Also appearing in recurring roles throughout the series are Thaddea Graham as Vinder's paramour Bel, Craige Els as the Lupari Karvanista, Rochenda Sandall and Sam Spruell as the villainous Ravagers Azure and Swarm, Annabel Scholey as Claire, and Kevin McNally as Professor Jericho.[14]

Production

Development

The thirteenth series was announced by showrunner Chris Chibnall to be in development in November 2019, before the twelfth series premiered; Chibnall returns as the series' showrunner, having been in the role since the eleventh series.[5]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on television, the series' production included only eight episodes, reduced from the previous eleven.[16] Six episodes were designated to the thirteenth series, with an additional three airing the following year. The last episode would be Whittaker and Chibnall's last as star and executive producer respectively.[17]

"Before we started making it, there were times when we thought we were going to be unable to do the show under Covid conditions this year... there were two ways you could go. You could go 'let's do lots of tiny little episodes in one room, with no monsters,' or we could throw down the gauntlet and do the biggest story we've ever done... definitely the most ambitious thing we've done since we've been on the series."

— Chris Chibnall, [1]

He would later reveal on the Radio Free Skaro podcast that the series narrowly escaped cancellation, and that he and Whittaker turned down other job offers to make it work: "There was a week where it was not going to be made. There was a week where I'd been offered another job." Chibnall also stated that for at least one hour, the series had effectively been axed.[18]

In July 2021, near the end of filming, both Whittaker and Chibnall announced their intention to leave the programme following the series and three associated specials, to air by 2022.[19] Chibnall explained that he and Whittaker had agreed to a "three series and out" pact, and that "now our shift is done, and we're handing back the Tardis keys".[20] Additionally series composer Segun Akinola also left, saying that he planned to leave alongside the pair.[21]

Writing

Maxine Alderton, writer of the twelfth series episode "The Haunting of Villa Diodati", was listed on her CV as a "core writer" for the thirteenth series.[22] In April 2020, Chibnall confirmed that writing for the series had commenced and continued remotely throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.[23] Chibnall wrote all six episodes of the series, co-writing the fourth episode with Alderton.[24]

Ed Hime, who wrote "It Takes You Away" (2018) and "Orphan 55" (2020) from the two past series, listed on his CV that he was set to write an episode for the series,[25] as was Pete McTighe;[26] however, Chibnall later stated in October 2021:

"We had some other really great writers scheduled, but a lot of our plans had to be altered. Partly because the new series is a serial, partly because there are less episodes and partly because of the turnaround."

— Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Magazine #568 - October 2021

The story features some of Doctor Who's recurring aliens, including the Cybermen, Daleks, Ood, Sontarans, and Weeping Angels.[15][27]

Filming

According to production executive Tracie Simpson, pre-production for the thirteenth series was set to begin in June 2020, with filming originally set for September 2020.[28] Filming eventually commenced in November 2020, and ran for ten months.[16][29] Filming was still ongoing in July 2021 as confirmed at the San Diego Comic Con.[1] Jamie Magnus Stone directed the first, second, and fourth episodes, and Azhur Saleem directed the third, fifth, and sixth.[30][31] Filming for the six episodes of the series, along with two of the 2022 specials, had concluded by August 2021.[30]

Critical reception

Doctor Who's thirteenth series has received mixed reviews from critics, with many calling it a great ending to the Thirteenth Doctor.[61][62] Series 13 holds an 82% critic approval rating on online review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes with an average score of 6/10, based on 52 critic reviews.[63] Metacritic calculated a weighted average score of 68 out of 100 from six reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[64] Collider's Ben Clark noted that the show had the third lowest rating on IMDb with a 6.5/10, only ahead of Jodie Whittaker's other two series, 11 and 12, which placed at 13th and 12th respectively.[61]

However when compared to other series, Series 13 typically is considered one of the worst.[62][65] Screen Rant's Edward Cleary ranked the series the lowest of the modern run, noting it was Whittaker's best performance as the Doctor but was the worst series of her run overall. He called the series anti-climatic and felt that the ending "doesn't pay off". Despite this criticism, Cleary still describe it as a "lovely send-off" to the Thirteenth Doctor.[62]

In a ranking for Digital Spy Morgan Jeffery and Rebecca Cook also placed Series 13 at last.[b] Jeffery and Cook called it a "lovely send-off" and also called it Whittakers best performance as the Doctor. While the two found the series funny and entertaining they also criticized the writing and seeming lack of direction. They described it as confusing and "somewhat incomprehensible".[65]
