The finest of traditions are upheld when The Doctor does not understand everything that is laid out, throughout the long history of the much-loved programme, the element of doubt is one that leaves a longer lasting smile on the fan’s minds than the neatly, over-explained, often patronising view laid out by various writers. It is a tradition in which the new Doctor is thrust into with great forethought by Chris Chibnall as the worlds of time, space and new companions are brought together in the second of Jodie Whittaker’s appearance as the enigmatic alien, in The Ghost Monument.
