Guess who's back? It's none other than the beloved Doctor and his new companion, Ruby Sunday! After a long wait, the British sci-fi sensation Doctor Who is finally returning to our television screens this week, and fans are thrilled to see Ncuti Gatwa take on the iconic role of the Timelord.
You may remember that Gatwa made history last year by becoming the first bi-generation Doctor, following in the footsteps of the legendary David Tennant. And if that wasn't enough, Gatwa also made his solo debut in last year's Christmas special, "The Church on Ruby Road," where he was joined by his new companion, Millie Gibson, who plays the feisty and fearless Ruby Sunday.
But enough about the past, let's talk about the exciting present! This weekend marks the premiere of the show's fourteenth series since its revival in 2005, and to celebrate, the first two episodes will air as a special double-bill, simultaneously broadcast around the world. Talk about a global event!
Now, I know what you're thinking - what time is Doctor Who on tonight? Well, fear not, my fellow Whovians, because the first episode, "Space Babies," will air on BBC One at 6:20 PM, followed by the second episode, "The Devil's Chord," at 7:05 PM. And for those eager fans who can't wait, the episodes were also released on BBC iPlayer at midnight last night.
In "Space Babies," Ruby gets to know the Doctor better as they travel to the future and encounter some adorable yet mysterious space babies. Meanwhile, in "The Devil's Chord," the duo's plans to meet The Beatles are interrupted when they stumble upon a powerful being known as The Maestro. Sounds thrilling, doesn't it?
Now, for our friends across the pond, you may be wondering if you can catch the new season on Disney+. While the collaboration between the BBC and Disney means that the series will be available on Disney+ in most regions, unfortunately, this does not include the UK and Ireland. But fear not, as episodes will still be available on BBC One, BBC iPlayer, and even BBC Three and BBC Two throughout the week.
So, when can we expect the next episode? Well, lucky for us, we won't have to wait an extra week, as episode three, "Boom," will air next Saturday at 6:50 PM. In this action-packed episode, the Doctor finds himself in a precarious situation when he steps on a landmine. Can he save the world without moving? We'll have to tune in and see.
And speaking of tuning in, don't forget that episodes will continue to drop on BBC iPlayer at midnight every Saturday, in sync with the worldwide release. But beware, my dear Whovians, as this new release schedule means that we may have to try harder to avoid spoilers before we've had a chance to watch the episode ourselves. Showrunner Russell T Davies acknowledges this challenge, but reminds us that it's all part of the modern world and beyond his control.
But let's not dwell on potential spoilers, as we have a lot to look forward to in this new series. With a total of eight episodes airing weekly until June 22nd, there's plenty of time for the Doctor and Ruby to take us on some wild adventures. And who knows what surprises and twists this season has in store for us.
So, mark your calendars, set your alarms, and get ready to travel through time and space with the Doctor and Ruby Sunday. And if you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures to share, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We'd love to hear from you. Allons-y!
