If you ever think about taking Doctor Who seriously, just remember that one time the sixth Doctor dressed up in a fish costume to fight the fifth Doctor and got angry when his earlier self was too polite. (Audio: Peri and the Piscon Paradox)

I don't think any of this information is going to be at all spoilery for anything of any importance, but so you know, this post consists of information about Whittaker's upcoming series of Doctor Who, provided by the actors and Chris Chibnall.
