This is definitely the perfect demonstration of how the Doc, Yaz & Dan could realistical face the Sontarans- it would still be competitive 🥔😁🥔

It's so funny and lovely to see these... And also really sad. I'm going to miss all the cast. Especially Jodie as the Doctor. Losing 13 is going to hurt. I really hope we do get to see her at least return for a special someday. I'm just getting really attached to her and her arc and now there's the heartache of it ending coming. It feels too soon. I would've loved another season with her (damn COVID-19 :/). But that's Doctor Who for you. The more you care about a character, the more it hurts when they leave. :'(
