Nardole is a fictional character created by Steven Moffat and
portrayed by Matt Lucas in the long-running British science fiction
television series Doctor Who. He is a companion of the Twelfth Doctor,
an incarnation of the alien time traveller known as The Doctor, played
by Peter Capaldi. Nardole initially appeared in the 2015 Christmas
special "The Husbands of River Song", as a companion of River Song,
before returning in the following episode "The Return of Doctor
Mysterio", having become the Doctor's companion in the
meantime.Despite looking human, Nardole is an alien from the 54th
century with cybernetic implants, belonging to a humanoid colony on
the planet Mendorax Dellora. He is the first full-time alien companion
of the revived series and the first in the series in over 30 years.
Unlike most companions, Nardole rarely wishes to travel with the
Doctor, instead staying safe on Earth in most episodes. Nevertheless,
he sometimes gets involved in the Doctor's adventures, mostly against
his will.Nardole is introduced in the 2015 Christmas special "The
Husbands of River Song" as the employee of the Doctor's wife River
Song (Alex Kingston). In the course of the episode, he is decapitated,
with his head ending up as part of a cyborg body. In the subsequent
Christmas episode, "The Return of Doctor Mysterio" (2016), Nardole
appears again as the Doctor's companion. The Doctor had rebuilt
Nardole's original body, but various media is unclear whether Nardole
is now a cyborg or purely organic.For the tenth series, which follows
the two specials, Nardole remains the Doctor's assistant. When the
series begins, with "The Pilot" (2017), the pair were based in a
university in Bristol, where Nardole attempted to keep the Doctor to
his oath to guard an alien vault beneath the university. He is
concerned about the Doctor taking on Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie) as a
new travelling companion, maintaining that it amounts to him
abandoning his post. Nardole is ultimately dragged on an outer space
adventure with the Doctor and Bill in "Oxygen". The subsequent
episodes of "Extremis", "The Pyramid at the End of the World" and "The
Lie of the Land", following a story arc over the three episodes,
establish that Nardole came to assist the Doctor on instructions left
by River Song before she died, and he has taken it as his mission to
keep the Doctor in line as the last request of River Song, to the
point that he refers to himself as "the only person legally qualified
to kick the Doctor's arse". He formally joined the Doctor after the
Doctor took an oath to guard his Time Lord friend and arch-enemy Missy
(Michelle Gomez) for a thousand years. In the same story, Nardole
narrowly escapes a deadly bacterial infection due to his alien
biology, and he assists Bill and the Doctor in restoring free will to
the Earth after history had been rewritten by the menacing alien
"Monks". In several following episodes, Nardole repeatedly shows his
resourcefulness and adaptability as he joins the Doctor and Bill on
other trips, even once working with Missy to repair the TARDIS after
it returns to Earth with Nardole inside it while leaving the Doctor
and Bill on Mars in the Victorian era ("Empress of Mars"). In the
series finale, "World Enough and Time"/"The Doctor Falls", the
Doctor's crew and Missy react to a distress call on board a Mondasian
ship, which results in Bill being shot through the heart and converted
into a Cyberman, due to the machinations of Missy's past incarnation,
the Master (John Simm). They escape the immediate clutches of the
Cybermen due to Nardole commandeering a shuttle, which he pilots into
higher levels of the colony ship. The ship is so large that several
simulated countrysides exist within as solar farms, with dozens of
villagers. In battle with the Cybermen, Nardole repeatedly proves his
computer and combat talents, rigging powerful explosions throughout
the countryside. When the Doctor realises that to defeat the Cybermen
he must destroy a whole level of the ship, he instructs Nardole to
take the villagers to safety on another floor. Nardole does so, unsure
if he will ever see the Doctor again and knowing that the Cybermen
will one day return to convert the human population. Lucas reprises
the role briefly in "Twice Upon a Time", playing an avatar of Nardole
made from Nardole's memories at the time of his death. He hugs the
Doctor and wishes him farewell before his pending regeneration. In
Paul Cornell’s novelisation of the story, it is revealed that the
Cybermen stopped being a threat not long after the Doctor left and
Nardole lived to an old age with several wives and children. Nardole Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
