Read an exclusive excerpt from issue 602 below.
We asked Millie what has surprised her most about her Doctor Who experience?
“Ohh, good question. I feel like this [2024] series in particular is very different to any other series of Doctor Who. I think the way Russell [T Davies, showrunner] has written this one… the fans won’t be expecting what happens next.
“I get so excited when I get the scripts through. Especially the first script I read – I thought, this is on a different level. It feels like a Black Mirror episode to me. It’s such a different concept to, like, Daleks and stuff. This series is completely different. But there’s still plenty of running from monsters, in a crazy Doctor Who way.”
Eagle-eyed readers will have spotted a few curious alien creatures in the trailer released on Christmas Day. Gelatinous, slug-like monsters on the streets? A greasy, green beastie on a spaceship?
“Prepare to be grossed out!” teases Millie.
