Doctor Who Magazine confirms title of Jodie Whittaker’s final episode

The upcoming BBC centenary special of Doctor Who finally has a title.

Although it has not been officially announced by the BBC at the time of writing – subscribers of Doctor Who Magazine #581 got the news early today.


The title has been revealed as The Power of the Doctor.

A first look at Doctor Who’s feature-length special, and Jodie Whittaker’s final episode released in April revealed the return of the Doctor’s biggest adversary – The Master (Sacha Dhawan), who last appeared in series 12’s final episode The Timeless Children.

And for the first time since the show returned to BBC One in 2005, The Master, the Daleks and the Cybermen will all feature in one single story.

The trail, which aired after the Easter special Legend of the Sea Devils, also revealed the surprise return of two of the Doctor’s companions from earlier eras of the show. Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka – companion to both the Fourth and Fifth Doctors — and Sophie Aldred as Ace – companion to the Seventh Doctor, will reprise their roles on screen for the first time since leaving the show.


The Power of the Doctor was filmed throughout September 2021, directed by Jamie Magnus Stone and is set for an October 2022 release.
