Fugitive of the Judoon was the fifth episode of series 12 of Doctor Who.

It featured the introduction of another incarnation of the Doctor, with her own TARDIS, though neither Doctor can remember living the life of the other. This other Doctor is said to have used a Chameleon Arch to hide on Earth in her "Ruth Clayton" identity and has a history working for the Time Lords, in an undisclosed capacity. As a result of this revelation, Jo Martin makes history by becoming the first female non-white person to play the Doctor and the first non-white actor to play a distinct incarnation of the character.

This episode also saw the return of Captain Jack Harkness, who last made a televised appearance at the end of Torchwood series 4 in 2011 with The Blood Line. However, it was his first appearance in televised Doctor Who in just over a decade with him last being seen in The End of Time in 2010. Although Jack does not interact with the Thirteenth Doctor over the course of the story, he warns her companions about the Lone Cyberman, setting up a story arc that, for now, would go unresolved.

As the name suggested, this story also saw the reintroduction of the Judoon who became the first monsters from the Russell T Davies era to reappear in Chris Chibnall's. They last appeared in a cameo in 2015's Face the Raven but had not been as prominently featured in a televised story since The Sarah Jane Adventures story Prisoner of the Judoon in 2009 and not in televised Doctor Who since their introductory story, Smith and Jones in 2007.

Synopsis

The Judoon are on the hunt for a runaway and they have narrowed their search down to modern-day Gloucester. The Thirteenth Doctor and her friends decide to step in before anyone can get hurt, but things are far more complex than they seem. A complex web is about to unfold, featuring a surprising new face and a worrying prophecy from an old friend.
