Doctor Who S02E05: "The Story and The Engine" Clip: TARDIS Red Alert

The TARDIS isn't a fan of whatever the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) did in a clip from BBC & Disney+'s Doctor Who S02E05: "The Story and The Engine."

This weekend's episode of Showrunner Russell T. Davies's Ncuti Gatwa and Varada Sethu-starring Doctor Who finds the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) coming face-to-face with the mysterious Barber (Ariyon Bakare) in Lagos, Nigeria, and reuniting with his friend Omo (Sule Rimi). Episode writer Inua Ellams shared an exclusive prequel story (with artwork by Bunmi Agusto) spotlighting young Omo's school essay about the time he met the Doctor during a terrifying forest fire in Etsako in a prequel story that helps set up S02E05: "The Story and The Engine" that you can check out here. As for Belinda (Sethu), she's on the TARDIS in the preview clip that was released earlier today – and things aren't looking too good. Because once the Doctor enters the barbershop, the TARDIS goes on red alert.
