In a statement, Bishop said: "If I could tell my younger self that one day I would be asked to step on board the Tardis, I would never have believed it.

"It's an absolute dream come true to be joining Doctor Who and I couldn't wish for better company than Jodie and Mandip."

Programme boss Chris Chibnall added: "It's time for the next chapter of Doctor Who, and it starts with a man called Dan. Oh, we've had to keep this one secret for a long, long time.

"Our conversations started with John even before the pandemic hit.

"The character of Dan was built for him, and it's a joy to have him aboard the Tardis."

Just a shame it looks like he'll be another modern 21st century human

To be honest I’ve never heard of him.

Not disappointed though, the dynamic of a Doctor/Yaz only team seemed a bit off to me. Mandip is fine but far from my favourite companion ever.
