This week, we caught up with series newcomer John Bishop to find out how he got involved with Doctor Who, what it's been like to adjust to a world of green screens and monsters and whether he'd be up for returning to the series after the departure of Jodie Whittaker next year.

"And for lots of reasons you know, for me, personally, this just was almost so good, I wouldn't want to risk it, trying to do it again. I just feel so lucky to have had that time with those people.
