Series 12

**Series 12** of Doctor Who introduced Celia Imrie as the Sixteenth Doctor, Tom Felton as Alec O'Conor and Imogen Poots as Constance O'Conor.

The series opened with *A Masterful Reckoning* and concluded with *Master of Worlds*. It was followed by both a Halloween Special, *Disappearing Act* and a Christmas Special, *The Three Masters*.

## Summary

The lives of Alec and Constance O'Conor are about to change forever when a strange and mysterious woman known only as “the Doctor” crashes into their view and whisks them away on an exciting - yet often terrifying - adventure; but will the threat of the Master be too strong to handle?

## Overview

The series consisted of twelve stories and fifteen episodes. It was Celia Imrie's first full series as the Sixteenth Doctor and introduced new companions Tom Felton as Alec O'Conor and Imogen Poots as Constance O'Conor in the premiere, *A Masterful Reckoning*.

Max Amato took over as showrunner whilst Natalie Robyn returned as producer - an arrangement that would remain until Series 15.

With this series, airing dates would revert back to Sundays. Everything from *A Masterful Reckoning* to *The Three Masters* was part of the Series 12 production block.

There was no story arc for the series, instead it focused on a loose narrative thread involving the persistent threat posed by the Eighth Master and her various schemes.
