We saw much more of Ncuti Gatwa’s new Doctor than we were expecting in the last of the “Doctor Who” 60th anniversary episodes. Now, after that unexpected bi-generation in “The Giggle,” the 15th incarnation of the Time Lord is making his full debut in this year’s “Doctor Who” Christmas special.

The Doctor has long been a fixture of the BBC’s festive line-up, but this year’s Christmas special comes with added excitement. Not only will we see Gatwa’s Doctor in action, but we’ll also get our first introduction to Ruby Sunday, a new companion played by Millie Gibson.
According to the BBC’s official synopsis: “Little is known about Ruby Sunday as she was abandoned on Christmas Eve as a baby. Now living with her mum, Carla and grandmother, Cherry her world is about to be turned upside when she encounters the Doctor and the two set off on their first adventure together.”
The story will also feature flying ships and goblins, which should make for some ideal family viewing sessions this Christmas Day.

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.
