Doctor Who: RTD Teases "73 Yards"; New Preview Clip, Teaser Released

Check out out a sneak preview and teaser for Doctor Who Ep. 4: "73 Yards" (written by Russell T. Davies; directed by Dylan Holmes Williams).


In Showrunner Russell T. Davies and series stars Ncuti Gatwa (Fifteenth Doctor) & Millie Gibson's (Ruby Sunday) Doctor Who Episode 4: "73 Yards" (written by Davies and directed by Dylan Holmes Williams), the Doctor and Ruby arrive on the Welsh coast to kick off one of the strangest journeys of their lives. Based on the episode trailer that was released earlier today, it appears that the journey begins with Ruby losing the Doctor and ending up in a pub filled with some very interesting locals – all in fear of some "ancient legends" that might be looking to make a return appearance. On the casting side, we were told to be on the lookout for Aneurin Barnard (Peaky Blinders) and Dame Sian Phillips (Silent Witness) – as well as recurring guest star/huge mystery Susan Twist as "Hiker."

But just when we thought the episode trailer would be all we would get today, Davies would show up on The Official Doctor Who Podcast to say a few words about the "spooky" and "strange" episode – teasing us to pay attention to the scrolls at the beginning and noting that "Rest in Peace, Mad Jack will make much more sense. Following that (at the 27:00 mark), we're also treated to sneak preview that sees the Doctor and Ruby first arriving in Wales. And there was more, with the show's main social media account dropping a new teaser that includes scenes in the original trailer. With "73 Yards" arriving on May 24th on Disney+ and May 25th on BBC iPlayer and BBC One – here's a look:

"73 YARDS" (Writer: Russell T Davies; Director: Dylan Holmes Williams)

"DOT AND BUBBLE" (Writer: Russell T Davies; Director: Dylan Holmes Williams)

"ROGUE" (Writer: Kate Herron and Briony Redman; Director: Ben Chessell)

"THE LEGEND OF RUBY SUNDAY" (Writer: Russell T Davies; Director: Jamie Donoughue)

"EMPIRE OF DEATH" (Writer: Russell T Davies; Director: Jamie Donoughue)

We've got an upcoming season that runs from the groovy '60s and the Regency era in England to war-torn futures – and a whole lot more! Along with a first look at Indira Varma's (Game of Thrones) The Duchess and the news that Callie Cooke (Henpocalypse!) is making an appearance, we were also treated to looks at Anita Dobson, Yasmin Finney, Michelle Greenidge, Bonnie Langford, Jinkx Monsoon, Jemma Redgrave, Lenny Rush, Golda Rosheuvel, Angela Wynter, and Paul Forman. And don't forget that Andor star Varada Sethu joins Gatwa & Gibson during the second season of adventures.
