Check out images from Russell T. Davies's Ncuti Gatwa & Millie Gibson- starring Doctor Who Christmas special, "The Church on Ruby Road."
Admit it – it was a little weird not having Doctor Who on this past weekend, wasn't it? That's understandable – we feel your pain. Thankfully, the long-running show returns on Christmas with Russell T. Davies's Ncuti Gatwa (Fifteenth Doctor) & Millie Gibson (Ruby Sunday)- starring special, "The Church on Ruby Road." With more looks at what the special has in store expected over the next week – along with some early buzz about the newest series of adventures that are set to hit screens in 2024 – we're kicking off the one-week countdown by passing along some preview images that were released earlier today:
Doctor Who: "The Church on Ruby Road": A Christmas Special Preview
"The Church on Ruby Road" sees the Doctor (Gatwa) come face-to-face with the mythical and mysterious goblins as his life collides with Ruby Sunday (Gibson). 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 down when she encounters the Doctor – and the two set off on their first adventure together. Joining Gatwa & Millie Gibson (Ruby Sunday) for showrunner Russell T. Davies's special are Davina McCall (playing herself), Michelle Greenidge (Ruby's mum Carla), Angela Wynter (Ruby's grandmother Cherry), and Anita Dobson as Mrs. Flood. Now, here's a look at the trailers that were previously released by the BBC & Disney+ – as well as a sneak preview of the Doctor & Ruby getting to know one another:
