Aside from the anticipated Doctor Who 60th anniversary episodes set to air this November, Whovians have been eagerly awaiting confirmation of what a special of the show ‘over the festive period’ could include, as previously stated.
Could it be a New Year’s Day episode? Or would it be something to look forward to on Christmas day itself? Well, while we don’t have an exact release date just yet, the BBC has now reported that the Christmas special will be landing on our screens this December.
As for what the special festive episode will include, we’re not entirely sure just yet, as details remain a closely guarded secret. But we do know that there have been some impressive Ncuti Gatwa outfits spotted, as well as the potential for a “guest star from 2005” to return.
The Sex Education and Barbie star will take over the Doctor Who helm as the Fifteenth Doctor in this year’s Christmas special and will be joined by new companion Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson). Indira Varma is also set to star in the upcoming 14th season as the mysterious Duchess.
In addition to the news of the Christmas special coming this year, the BBC also reported here that the brand new season of Doctor Who would air in spring 2024.
I checked out a few episodes into the Capaldi run - not really his fault - and every second sentence in this article made me go “wait, what?”
What parts of it were confusing?
It got really really good.
His was a bit rough at the start but built up to some of the best episodes of Dr Who.
It was honestly more about me than him. I tend to trail off from media after about six years, regardless of fixation. Any criticism at the time would’ve been lingering Moffat burnout.
Though I was nudged toward letting go thanks to BBC America’s broadcasting mix being too quiet to fucking hear him. I speak English! I shouldn’t need subtitles for a show made in Britain!
Well, okay, I shouldn’t need subtitles to watch a show made in England.
Depending on the accent I still need subtitles. And even then sometimes the people writing them just give up when met with some accents
I used to have problems hearing people over background sounds, and I finally just turned all my audio settings to mono. Yeah, you lose some of the impact of the soundtrack, but explosions don’t blow your ears out and you can actually hear people speak.
