It’s been too brief.
After just three adventures back in the TARDIS, the last of the “Doctor Who” 60th anniversary specials will see David Tennant’s Doctor regenerating for a second time. Before the show ushers in the all-new Ncuti Gatwa era, however, the famous Time Lord will have to face a very old foe in “The Giggle.”
Read on to find out everything you need to know to watch “Doctor Who: The Giggle” FOR FREE on BBC iPlayer in the UK. In case you’re going to be away from home, we also explain how you can use a VPN, such as ExpressVPN, to stream via your usual service from abroad.
For Tennant’s final adventure in space and time, showrunner Russell T Davies has brought back an adversary who debuted opposite William Hartnell in 1966, as Neil Patrick Harris updates the Toymaker for a whole new generation. Davies has also teased in Doctor Who Magazine (via RadioTImes) that “there will be controversial events in this episode.”
A Doctor’s final adventure is always a bittersweet affair, but after the brilliant “The Star Beast” and “Wild Blue Yonder,” the Time Lord’s 14th incarnation is sure to get a memorable sendoff. You can get a tease of what’s in store when the Toymaker starts pulling the strings by watching the trailer at the end of this article. Before you tune in, we’ll explain how to stream “Doctor Who: The Giggle” wherever you are.

Richard’s love affair with outer space started when he saw the original “Star Wars” on TV aged four, and he spent much of the ’90s watching “Star Trek”, “Babylon 5” and “The X-Files” with his mum. After studying physics at university, he became a journalist, swapped science fact for science fiction, and hit the jackpot when he joined the team at SFX, the UK’s biggest sci-fi and fantasy magazine. He liked it so much he stayed there for 12 years, four of them as editor.
He’s since gone freelance and passes his time writing about “Star Wars”, “Star Trek” and superheroes for the likes of SFX, Total Film, TechRadar and GamesRadar+. He has met five Doctors, two Starfleet captains and one Luke Skywalker, and once sat in the cockpit of “Red Dwarf”‘s Starbug.
