Get ready for a thrilling ride through time and space! This Christmas, the Doctor, played by the charismatic Ncuti Gatwa, is back to save the day in Joy to the World, by Steven Moffat.
In this special episode, the Doctor takes us on a mind-bending journey through Earth’s history. We’ll encounter dinosaurs, dangerous foes, and a whole lot of fun. Joining the Doctor is the brilliant Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton, Derry Girls) as Joy, a seemingly ordinary guest at a London hotel who finds herself caught up in an extraordinary adventure.
As an old enemy of the Doctor’s lurks in the shadows, a deadly plan unfolds across time. Can the Doctor outsmart his foe and save Christmas, everywhere, all at once?
