Premiering on BBC Entertainment on October 11 at 20h30 is Doctor Who: The Next Doctor. The Bafta award-winning time-travelling adventure returns with a special, penned by Russell T Davies and featuring guest stars David Morrissey and Dervla Kirwan.
It’s Christmas Eve in 1851 and Cybermen stalk the snow of Victorian London. When the Doctor (David Tennant) arrives and starts to investigate a spate of mysterious deaths, he’s surprised to meet another Doctor (David Morrissey), with his own sonic screwdriver and cockney assistant. How could this be possible? Could this Doctor be a future incarnation? But if so, where are his memories?
The two must combine forces to defeat the ruthless Miss Hartigan (Dervla Kirwan), who is the Cybermen’s human ally. But are two Doctors enough to stop the rise of the CyberKing?. Also appearing is Velile Tshabalala as Rosita.
