Series 1 - 2014

Following the 50th Anniversary the previous year, Doctor Who relaunched for third time in 2014 with Series 1 of the show, which was considered a relaunch. For the firs time 16 episodes were broadcast that year (excluding the CHRISTMAS Special) and were split into two parts.

8 episodes aired in Spring and another 8 aired in Autumn. Phillip Glenster portrayed The Twelfth Doctor after Matt Smith's doctor regenerated in the 2013 Christmas Special which proved rumours correct. Jenna-Louise Coleman didn't return either as Clara Oswin Oswald and Laura Aikman (Casualty, 4 'O Clock Club) came to the role as a character called Holly.

Holly simply goes by the name of, Holly, which is answered why in the mid series finale, Episode 8, as she's the Doctor's younger sister who's come to take him back to Gallifrey.
