David Tennant’s only just come back for the60th anniversary specialsand alreadyDoctor Whois planning life after him. With Ncuti Gatwa set to take over after the three episodes, we now have more details about his first proper adventure.
Festive specials are aDoctor Whotradition, and they have typically been significant moments in the show. David Tennant was famously introduced in the first Christmas special of ‘New Who’, and it looks like that pattern will continue.
Disney+is, of course, also in charge of Doctor Who now and has revealed that the special will air on Christmas Day itself (the 25th of December, in case you need to start shopping), at least in the US. Here in the UK, it will probably be on the BBC on the evening of Christmas Day, when you’re nursing a belly full of way too much Turkey. But that’s not all we’ve learnt.

We don’t have any real information on the actual story of the episode yet, but there have been some rumours that television presenter Davina McCall would be in it playing herself. That reminds me of another series,Dead Set(streaming onNetflix) in which she performs herBig Brotherhosting duties while a zombie apocalypse breaks out. I don’t expect quite as much blood this time, more heartwarming Christmas fun.
