Doctor Who: New "Ruby Road" Images; Gatwa's First Fifteenth Doctor Day

Doctor Who Christmas Special "The Church on Ruby Road" preview images and Ncuti Gatwa's first day on the set as the Fifteenth Doctor.

By the time this article first goes live, it will already be Christmas Day in the UK – which means it's not down to only hours before the debut of Russell T. Davies's Ncuti Gatwa (Fifteenth Doctor) & Millie Gibson (Ruby Sunday)- starring Doctor Who Christmas Special, "The Church on Ruby Road." In addition, it was also confirmed that shortly after "Ruby Road," viewers on BBC One & BBC iPlayer will be getting a look at what's to come with the next series of adventures – with drops on YouTube and social media expected. But for right now, we have a new set of preview images for the Christmas Special – and a little something extra in the form of a look back at a very important moment in Gatwa's career.

"A day of pure adrenaline, excitement, and fear." That's how Gatwa described his first time on the set as the Fifteenth Doctor – now here's a look behind the scenes of the monumental moment:

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:
