Earlier today, we had a chance to check out the winner of the Blue Peter fan art contest and join them as they were given a tour behind the scenes of an upcoming new series of BBC's Doctor Who. But now – thanks to The Graham Norton Show – we're shifting our focus back to Russell T. Davies's (RTD) Ncuti Gatwa (Fifteenth Doctor) & Millie Gibson (Ruby Sunday)- starring Doctor Who Christmas Special, "The Church on Ruby Road." In the following clip, the Fifteenth Doctor (Gatwa) and Ruby Sunday (Gibson) meet – but let's just say that there are a few "distractions" nagging for their attention.

"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.

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.
