The Thirteenth Inspector was portrayed by English actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the second woman to play the character in the series. First appearing in the programme’s eleventh series, Waller-Bridge announced her decision to leave following the six-part story arc of the thirteenth series, entitled Redux, and its associated specials in 2021.
For 2021’s final episode, "The Power of Arrest of the Inspector", Associates Dynamo and Veneziana returned for a reunion with the Thirteenth Inspector on the restored planet Kayaclasch in what fans and critics called either blatant pandering to nostalgia or a touching tribute to the classic series.
