Doctor Who Ep. 1 "Space Babies" Clip: So About That "Butterfly Effect"

Ruby gets an "interactive" lesson in how The Butterfly Effect works in this clip from BBC & Disney+'s Doctor Who S01E01: "Space Babies."


By this point next week, a whole lot of fans will have had a chance to check out the first two episodes of Showrunner Russell T. Davies and series stars Ncuti Gatwa (Fifteenth Doctor) & Millie Gibson's (Ruby Sunday) first season of BBC & Disney+'s Doctor Who. That means today is as good of a day as any for a sneak preview of the season-opener, "Space Babies" (written by Davies and directed by Julie Anne Robinson) – one that's an extended look from the clop that Gatwa & Gibson brought with that to ABC's Good Morning America this week. In the clip, the Doctor offers Ruby a quick rundown of the TARDIS and what she does – before Ruby gets an "interactive" lesson in how "The Butterfly Effect" works… one that the Doctor could end up paying for.
