Doctor Who: Jodie Whittaker's Final Episode Will Feature Some Big Blasts from the Past
....A couple of faces familiar to Whovians will be around to bid Jodie Whittaker adieu in her final episode of Doctor Who, a new trailer reveals.
A promo for the Thirteenth Doctor’s last episode, which BBC America released Sunday, prominently featured the Doctor’s former companions Tegan Jovanka and Ace — both of whom appeared on the British sci-fi series prior to its current iteration, which began in 2005.
Janet Fielding played Tegan opposite Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor and Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor. Aldred portrayed Ace during Sylvester McCoy’s run as the Seventh Doctor.
The trailer also showed the return of Jemma Redgrave (Grantchester) as Kate Stewart and Jacob Anderson (Game of Thrones) as Vinder. The spot aired during Legend of the Sea Devils, in which the Doctor, Yaz and Dan traveled to 19th-century China, where a small coastal village was under threat from both the fearsome pirate queen Madam Ching and a monstrous alien force. The installment was the second of three special episodes that will cap Whittaker’s run as the Thirteenth Doctor.
the end.......trailer...............?!

Ooo yay, why couldn't it have been Tegan and Peri, the 2 worst stereotyped assistants in the show's run? A loudmouthed Australian and whiny American. '80s UK TV FTW... Both actresses from the UK of course and are actually good but, yeah, stuck with the material and direction given in the show.
And don't get Colin Baker started about that, he got it worse than any of them. Props to all 3 to come back and reprise their Who characters in the long running Audio series, which has given them ample time to rehabilitate the TV versions' rough edges and make them into actually decent characters.

I could not stand the Colin Baker TV episodes. The writing, direction, costumes, and Colin Baker's portrayal of the Doctor were all a disappointment to me.
Interesting, then, that some of the best to come from Doctor Who are Colin Baker's Big Finish audio adventures. It truly does suggest that Colin Baker was not the problem with Doctor Who in the 1980's, after all.

I agree. And "The Stranger" was not bad at all.
One of the most off-putting things was the distracting clown-costume they put him in.
There's a story about that. The whole production was a mess even before the budget-slashing and time-slot switching sabotage.
