The BBC has released some new images from the upcoming “Doctor Who Christmas Special”, which is called “The Church on Ruby Road” and arrives on Christmas Day on the BBC in the UK/Ireland and on Disney+ around the world.

This will be the first special to feature the new Fifteenth Doctor, who will be played by Ncuti Gatwa, who takes over the TARDIS for his first epic adventure he will be joined by Ruby Sunday, played by Millie Gibson, as she makes her debut as the Doctor’s companion.

The episode sees the Doctor come face-to-face with the mythical and mysterious goblins as his life collides with Ruby Sunday, played by Millie 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…

Alongside Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson is Davina McCall, who will be playing herself as she joins the cast alongside Michelle Greenidge as Ruby’s mum Carla, Angela Wynter as Ruby’s grandmother Cherry and Anita Dobson as Mrs Flood.

Here are the preview images:

Davina McCall said in a statement:

“It is beyond an honour to be asked to appear in not only Doctor Who but also Ncuti’s first episode as the new Doctor. It was such an extraordinary experience and Russell has written you all a Christmas delight! Now I just can’t wait for everyone to see it!”

Russell T Davies, Showrunner, added:

“From Day One in this job, I wanted Doctor Who back on Christmas Day! And with Ncuti, Millie, Davina and the Goblin King, I hope it’s a feast for all the family!”

While we’ve still got a few weeks until Christmas Day, there will be two more 60th Anniversary specials featuring David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor and Catherine Tate as Donna Noble to be released this and next Saturday.
