Phil Ford, Rupert Laight and Joseph Lidster return as writers for the series, as does Gareth Roberts, writing two stories - one on his own and another with Clayton Hickman (former editor of Doctor Who Magazine).[5]
Matt Smith guest stars as the Eleventh Doctor in episodes 5 and 6, the story entitled Death of The Doctor, along with Katy Manning, who reprises her role as the Third Doctor's companion Jo Grant. The story was written by former Doctor Who showrunner and Sarah Jane Adventures creator Russell T Davies, the first time he has written for the Eleventh Doctor. It also includes the series' first visit to an alien planet.[30]
At the end of the second episode of this series, Luke Smith goes to Oxford University, and K-9 accompanies him.[31]
Jocelyn Jee Esien reprises her role as Clyde's mum Carla, having only previously appeared in 2008's The Mark of the Berserker.[32]
