Nordole Not Human?[edit]

UPDATE:

In an article in the Telegraph, Nardole is listed as human, but planet "unknown." ````

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/0/doctor-series-10-episode-1-first-look-review/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stilleon (talk • contribs) 17:17, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Even though you may consider Matt Lucas an authority on his character, he may have misspoken of Nardole being non-human. He may have meant not born on Erth. The idea he is non-human has not been in the show itself, and in The Return of Dr. Mysterio, he shows a deep understanding of the cities of Earth, correctly pointing out New York is not a capital city on the map in the episode.

Until producer confirms it or it appears on screen, I would doubt this comment.

UPDATED UPDATE:

In the episode "The Lie of the Land", early on, Nardole tells Bill that he was laid up for six weeks with the bacteria from the previous episode and that if he was human, he would have died. So there you are, Nardole is another species, just as the Doctor is.

Yours, Wordreader (talk) 06:39, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nardole being a cyborg would also explain the bacteria resistance and his comment. He need not be an alien to have cybernetic lungs or other organs. 184.90.176.33 (talk) 00:05, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Alien origin confirmed as he is of no interest to Cybermen, who only see humans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.75.131.199 (talk) 11:10, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Budoka68 (talk) :: The planet Mendorax Dellora is introduced at the beginning of 'The Husbands of River Song' as being a human colony... I do not recall any of the characters ever using the word 'alien' in relation to Nardole. The Cybermen perhaps were not interested in him as he was already cybernetic?
