The Eighth Doctor as played by Paul McGann
It’s been reported in several places we will see Cybermen against Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor in series 12. It’s also been reported (and all traces back to an unsubstantiated article in a UK tabloid) Mary Shelley will feature and this will inspire the writing of Frankenstein.
