The duo, who play Graham O'Brien and step-grandson Ryan Sinclair in the BBC series, said their farewells to The Doctor in the New Year's Day 2021 episode after two years on the hit sci-fi show.
While fans of the show will no doubt be sad to say goodbye to the companions, Bradley has previously spoken out about how he finds the BBC show's long filming schedule gruelling, saying: "We have great fun doing it. But you must sleep and look after yourself, because if you don't, you will come unstuck.

"This is ten months of ramming speed. That's what it is. I'm in my 60th year. It's tough. It's hard. It's relentless. It really is. This ain't an easy gig."
The news of Bradley and Tosin's departure first broke in March and was confirmed by the BBC in November. Discussing their final episode, The Chase presenter said: "It is very, very dramatic. It is very sad. It is quite sad and poignant is the word. You can expect a lot of poignancy from the episode."

Meanwhile, Tosin described his last-ever scene on the show as "emotional", but admitted he too was "looking forward to having a rest" from the show's intense production schedule.
The Doctor herself, Jodie Whittaker, also spoke about how she feels following their exit, saying: "On a personal note, absolutely devastated! Both of them had to carry me to my trailer, I haven't cried like that for such a long time. Brad couldn't cope with it at all! Tosin was like, 'I really can't cope with you getting this upset.'"
