Mandip Gill | 2018 – present

Yaz is a 19-year-old Sheffielder, friendly and self-assured, a quick logical thinker and a natural leader – the perfect person to have around in a crisis! She hasn’t seen Ryan since they attended primary school together, but is pleased to meet him again when he finds a strange, alien-looking object in the woods…

Yaz loves her job working as a probationary police officer, but wants to take on bigger challenges, solve trickier problems and experience more – not because she finds life boring, but because she loves adventure and the thrill of the new. And what could be more thrilling than meeting a Time Lord, saving Sheffield from an alien threat, then shooting off into deep space?

Yaz is fearless and hands-on, ready to assist the Doctor with anything – no matter how extraordinary the situation!
