Season 11 didn’t disappoint fans despite the conflicting reviews since showrunner Chris Chinball took over from previous writer Stephen Moffatt to bring the Doctor into a new era. A new Doctor also means new characters. Chinball focused on including new colorful characters such as Graham O’Brien (Bradley Walsh), Ryan Sinclair (Toslin Cole), and Yasmin Khan (Mandip Gill).
