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).
  • About 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.
Earlier today, Gatwa and Gibson pushed the button to light the London Eye landmark in the colors 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.

“Doctor Who” is produced by Bad Wolf with BBC Studios, for BBC and Disney Branded Television. Executive producers include Davies (writer and showrunner), Jane Tranter, Julie Gardner, Joel Collins and Phil Collinson.

"Doctor Who" 60th Anniversary Specials "The Star Beast," "Wild Blue Yonder," and "The Giggle" are now streaming on Disney+.

New episodes of “Doctor Who” will stream globally on Disney+ (outside of the UK and Ireland).
