Doctor Who star Mandip Gill has revealed she is eager for a potential return to the franchise, especially in a spin-off.
The actor famously played companion Yasmin Khan during Jodie Whittaker's era as The Doctor, and was asked in a new interview whether she would ever come back or do a spin-off if asked.
Speaking on EastEnders star Lacey Turner's podcast We Started Here, Gill replied: "Oh, a million per cent. I mean, I'm not even gonna let you finish the sentence, I'm so sorry."

When Turner suggested she "wouldn't even think about it", Gill explained: "No, because the writing is so good. I just love it so much.
"But the worlds that they create and the props and the sets... and we filmed in so many brilliant places. And everything that it's done for me thereafter, I'm like, absolutely. Like, I wouldn't even have to think about it.

"And especially if it was like a spin-off in a new world," she added. "I don't like my characters to stay the same. I like to see them going through a journey, and a lot of that journey that they go through is also me getting to know the character more."

Fans will be getting more of Yaz and the Thirteenth Doctor as part of a new audio series from Big Finish this summer, with Gill and Whittaker reprising their roles.
"Doctor Who has been a huge part of my career and personal life and I am looking forward to seeing how I can further enrich my character through this exhilarating series," Gill said upon the announcement last year.
"To be able to work with Jodie again is a dream come true, we have such a special friendship, I'm sure the recordings will be filled with laughter."
