Doctor Who showrunner Russell T. Davis debunked Belinda Chandra’s possible connection to another character.
Doctor Whowill introduce a brand-new companion when it returns this month on Disney+ with Varada Sethu’s Belinda Chandra.
Their identical surnames have sparked theories that Rani and Belinda may be related in some way.
Is Doctor Who’s Belinda Related to Sarah Jane Adventures' Rani Chandra?
“Nope, that is a coincidence.”
The Direct: “Belinda Chandra shares a surname with Rani Chandra fromThe Sarah Jane Adventures.
Is there any connection there?”
Russell T. Davies:Nope, that is a coincidence, I’m afraid.
It’s a very Kerala-specific background.
We went through a number of surnames for Belinda but to make it Kerala-based.
So I had to have a name that sounded good.
And believe you me, there are an awful lot of surnames from Kerala that didn’t sound good.
So I accepted the fact that I’ve used Chandra in the past, but there is no connection.
It just sounded good.
Davies:Oh, my God, I literally had to try out…
I had a list here, and I would try them all out in the dialog.
Some of them were just impossible.
So, I think we’ve got the best option in the end.
Doctor Who Showrunner Confirms Mrs. During the interview, Russell T. Davies confirmed Mrs.
The Direct: “Mrs. Russell T. Davies:How is this remotely possible?
She lived next door to Ruby Sunday.
Now, she lives next door to Belinda Chandra.
You’d almost think there was a great, big, cosmic plan at work, wouldn’t you?
Stay tuned, she pops up every week.
And I promise you, she will not disappoint.
There’s glorious stuff coming up.
I mean, I’m not daft.
That’s one of Britain’s greatest actors coming in and having a laugh.
And that’s fine.
Don’t worry, we really deliver on there.
Russell T. Davies:It’s kind of always the finale.
It’s like we’re going right up to the wire.
We had a meeting about that today, so they’re almost finished.
But I think we haven’t had a music score for that yet, so that’s still pending.
But obviously, that’s a few months of transmission, so we’ve got plenty of time.
So that’s all underway.
Everyone’s giving it everything.
I’m quite serious about that.
And it’s right there.
He will be modest in interviews and talk about learning and stuff like that.
No, he hit it straight away.
I mean, it’s funny, you talk about Season 2, but every episode is different.
There’s a different Doctor, and there are different things to learn about him as ever.
That made him king of the world, and she listened, she was wide-eyed.
She’s kind of learned to grow up and move away from him, and she comes back.
We have phenomenal scenes where you see that Ruby is now more than equal to the Doctor.
And she’s not having it.
And it makes sense.
Truly, that’s what I’d be like with the Doctor.
We all like to think we’d be wide-eyed.
I would be terrified of the dinosaurs eating me.
And I would say, ‘Take me home immediately.’
And then Episode 8 goes wildly beyond that.
So, it’s very exciting.

Can you imagine how much work it was getting all those broadcasts to bring things down to one date?
That is, that was more work than anything on the entire series.
And, you know, in America, the contest is not so well known to Disney.
You might not know what it is, but your viewers do.
So that was a great game to play, pinning it down to that date.
That was a lot of work, but it was worth it.
