Doctor Who: 10 Things That Must Happen In Series 10

8. Loads Of Doctor/Nardole Banter

Doctor Who Series 10
BBC

Who'd have thunk we'd be asking for this? Back in 2015's Christmas special The Husbands of River Song, Matt Lucas' Nardole was a bargain-bin comic relief character who didn't make much of an impression. So when it was announced that he would return for Series 10, most responded with a shrug.

But thankfully Lucas and Moffat have completely redefined the character for his extended role. In last year's special The Return of Doctor Mysterio, Nardole was reimagined as the Doctor's butler - the Alfred to Capaldi's Batman. While he was still a bit bumbling, Nardole now had a sort of understated wisdom and a better line in witty banter. The best part of the episode was the verbal back-and-forth between Nardole and the Doctor.

Seeing as it has been confirmed that Nardole is in pretty much every episode of Season 10, we hope to see more from this side of the character and his enjoyable rapport with the Time Lord.
