**Series 31** of Doctor Who starred Diane Morgan as the Twenty-First Doctor and Manny Jacinto as Ruben Gomez.

The series opened with *The Trail of the Warrior* and conclude with *The Devil You Know*. It was then followed by a Halloween Special, *Let The Hunt Begin!*; a Christmas Special, *A Man of a Thousand Lies* and a New Year Special, *Imposter Syndrome*.

## Summary

The three became two, but did that mean the Doctor and Ruben were ever going to stop? True be told, neither of them knew the answer and maybe truthfully; they just didn't want to find out... Racing around the universe after an admittedly shaky period in their relationship, how long will it until be the Doctor and Ruben finally address the burning feelings in both their minds?

Or will it be that ultimately, they remain spiritually divided forever?

## Overview

The series consisted of eleven stories and fifteen episodes. It was the third series for Diane Morgan as the Twenty-First Doctor, as well as the second for companion Manny Jacinto as Ruben Gomez.

Everything from *The Trail of the Warrior* to *Imposter Syndrome* was part of the Series 31 production block.

There was no story arc for the series, instead it focused on a loose narrative thread involving the Doctor and Ruben's ways of dealing with the death of Kane and the inner strain it was causing their relationship.
