Here's what happens when Jodie Whittaker's Doctor takes the Tardis to Children In Need
The Doctor welcomes two special new companions into the Tardis in a Children in Need special
A special mini-episode of Doctor Who will air during Friday night’s fundraising telethon Children In Need, with two lucky children set to take a tour around the legendary Tardis.
Viewers will meet nine-year-old Doctor Who fanatic Anna from Basingstoke, who has been supported by the Sebastian’s Action Trust – a charity that receives vital funding from Children in Need and specialises in working with children with serious illnesses.
Joined by friend Alex, Anna is shown around the Tardis, meeting the Doctor’s companions Graham (Bradley Walsh), Yaz (Mandip Gill) and Ryan (Tosin Cole).
However, Anna is stunned when she is joined by the Thirteenth Doctor herself, Jodie Whittaker, and the new companions team up to encounter some of the Whoniverse’s most infamous monsters.
Anna is then kitted out in a similar outfit to the Thirteenth Doctor, posing in the Doctor Who prop room which sees more than a few familiar faces – such as the Ood head in the shelf on the corner.
