On a special supplemental episode of Examining The Doctor, Mark and Seth talk about the breaking news that both Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall and The Doctor herself Jodie Whittaker will leave the show after the conclusion of the next season.

The upcoming season will consist of one continuous story followed by three special movie-length episodes in 2022. That will coincide with The BBC’s 100th anniversary.
