London Lights Up For “Doctor Who” Christmas Special
Disney and the BBC have released a new teaser trailer for the highly-anticipated “Doctor Who” Christmas Special, “The Church on Ruby Road,” which will be released on Christmas Day on the BBC in the UK and on Disney+ around the world.
The Christmas Special welcomes Ncuti Gatwa as The Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as his new companion, Ruby Sunday. Additional cast in the special includes Davina McCall (herself), Michelle Greenidge (Carla Sunday), Angela Wynter (Cherry Sunday) and Anita Dobson (Mrs. Flood).
In the special, long ago on Christmas Eve, a baby was abandoned in the snow. Today, Ruby Sunday meets the Doctor, stolen babies, goblins and perhaps the secret of her birth.
Check out the teaser trailer below:
Also earlier today, Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson took part in an event, where they got to push the button to light the London Eye landmark in the colours of the iconic “Doctor Who” Time Vortex earlier to celebrate the premiere.
Additionally, a blue carpet world premiere screening of the Christmas Special and Q&A with Gatwa, Gibson and showrunner Russell T Davies took place at the British Film Institute, Southbank today.
Check out the photos from the event below:
