Answer: Jack Robertson

Jack Robertson (Chris Noth), the billionaire hotel owner who caused an outbreak of giant mutant spiders underneath Sheffield, returns to the 2021 New Year's Special. Robertson really outdoes himself in this episode - bemoaning the destruction of the Daleks for its impact on his bottom line, betraying the human race to the Daleks and ultimately trying to paint himself as a hero. Chris North is probably best known for his work as Detective Mike Logan on "Law and Order" (1995-1996), Carrie Bradshaw's ultimate husband Mister Big on "Sex and the City" (1998 - 2004) and Governor Peter Florrick on "The Good Wife" (2009-2016). Krasko was the time traveler in "Rosa" (2018) who attempted to derail the Civil Rights movement by interfering in December 1955. Tim Shaw was the alien warrior who abducted people in "The Woman Who Fell to Earth" (2018). He returned in the series 11 finale "The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos" (2018). Charlie Duffy was the factory worker who came up with exploding bubble wrap in "Kerblam!: (2018). Since he was killed in the explosion that blew up the delivery robots, little chance he will be returning.

Answer: 79 billion light years

The prison was 79 billion light years away according to the title card. Since the size of the known universe is only 46.5 billion light years, wherever the Judoon have that prison, it's one hell of a long trip. And Captain Jack's vortex manipulator is a lot more impressive than we thought. While it was uncertain how long the Doctor had been in the Judoon prison, it was at least several decades, based on the hash marks on the wall and her familiarity with the denizens. Other residents of the prison included a Weeping Angel (nickname Angela), a pair of red-eyed Ood (nickname Bonnie and Clyde), a Pting and a member of The Silence.
