Jodie Whittaker will officially bid farewell to the TARDIS this month, and a new trailer gives us a final, proper look at The Power of the Doctor.

The special, which is part of the BBC’s Centenary celebrations, will see the Doctor face off against familiar forces massing to fight her. Those will include not only Sacha Dhawan returning as The Master, but also Ashad (Patrick O’Kane), aka. Lone Cyberman, other Cybermen and (of course) the Daleks.

Helping the Doctor will not only be Yaz (Mandip Gill) and Dan (John Bishop), but also Vinder (Jacob Anderson) and Kate Stewart (Jemma Redgrave) plus the return of two former Classic Doctor Who companions: Tegan Jovanka (Janet Fielding) and Sophie Aldred (Ace).

They’ll be teaming up on 23rd October, when the episode will air at 7.30pm on BBC One.

Watch: Teaser for Jodie Whittaker’s final Doctor Who special

18th April 2022

“This is the day you die…” Those are the ominous words that set our expectations for Jodie Whittaker’s final Doctor Who special, arriving on the BBC later this year.

The untitled episode will also form part of the BBC’s Centenary celebrations, which means that the Beeb is pulling out all the stops for an epic conclusion featuring the Doctor versus familiar forces massing against her.

Spoilers end

Jamie Magnus Stone will direct from a script by departing showrunner Chris Chibnall. It will be the third of three specials in what is a farewell lap for Chibnall and Whittaker before they both step away from the TARDIS. The first of those aired on New Year’s Day, with the Eve of the Daleks placing the Doctor and her fam in a time-looping fight against the Daleks. The second was Legend of the Sea Devils, which aired last night followed by the new trailer.

The untitled special will air on BBC One this autumn. Here’s the video:

 

Watch: Trailer for Doctor Who’s Legend of the Sea Devils

3rd April 2022

“Where are your crew?” “That’ll be us.” “We don’t stand a chance.” That’s the sound of Doctor Who taking on the Sea Devils this Easter and the BBC has unwrapped the full trailer to give us a taste of what’s in store.

The swashbuckling adventure will see the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker), Yaz (Mandip Gill) and Dan (John Bishop) come face to fin with one of the Doctor’s oldest adversaries: the Sea Devils. Why has legendary pirate queen Madam Ching come searching for a lost treasure? What terrifying forces lurk beneath the oceans of the nineteenth century? And did Yaz really have to dress Dan up as a pirate?

The special is the second of three final voyages in the TARDIS for Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor, following Eve of the Daleks on New Year’s Eve. It will air on Sunday 17th April. Until then, brush up on the Sea Devils’ past confrontations with the Doctor with our guide to their appearances in Classic Doctor Who.

The swashbuckling adventure will see the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker), Yaz (Mandip Gill) and Dan (John Bishop) come face to fin with one of the Doctor’s oldest adversaries: the Sea Devils.

Trailer: Doctor Who returns in spring for Legend of the Sea Devils

2nd January 2022

Doctor Who will officially return in the spring to tell the Legend of the Sea Devils.

Following the finale of Doctor Who: Flux, The Thirteenth Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) and friends Yaz (Mandip Gill) and Dan (John Bishop) are set to embark on three more voyages in the TARDIS, before Whittaker’s Doctor bids farewell, along with showrunner Chris Chibnall.

The first of those aired on New Year’s Day, with the Eve of the Daleks placing the Doctor and her fam in a time-looping fight against the Daleks. With nary a second to lose, the BBC has now confirmed that the second special will air in spring 2022 and will see the Doctor, Yaz and Dan face a familiar foe: the Sea Devils, who were first seen opposite the Third Doctor.

Legend of the Sea Devils takes us back to 19th-century China, where a small coastal village is under threat – from both the fearsome pirate queen Madame Ching (Crystal Yu) and a monstrous alien force which she unwittingly unleashes. Will the Doctor, Yaz and Dan emerge from this swashbuckling battle with the Sea Devils to save the planet?

Here’s a trailer giving you a first look at the special:

Eve of the Daleks: Doctor Who unveils trailer for New Year’s special

5th December 2021

One of the Doctor’s most feared nemeses will be back on our screens this New Year’s Day as Doctor Who returns for a special episode, entitled Eve of the Daleks.

Following the finale of Doctor Who: Flux, The Thirteenth Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) and friends Yaz (Mandip Gill) and Dan (John Bishop), will kick-start 2022 with the new episode, which is the first of three specials featuring Whittaker before she steps out of the TARDIS for good.

Eve of the Daleks will also feature guest stars Aisling Bea (This Way Up, Living With Yourself, Quiz), Adjani Salmon (Dreaming Whilst Black, Enterprice) and Pauline McLynn (Father Ted, Shameless). Sarah (Aisling Bea) owns and runs ELF storage, and Nick (Adjani Salmon) is a customer who visits his unit every year on New Year’s Eve. This year, however, their night turns out to be a little different than planned as they find themselves joining forces with the Doctor, Dan and Yaz in a fight against the Daleks.

Stuck in a time loop, will they manage to avoid extermination and escape the storage facility in time to see out New Year’s Day?

Chris Chibnall, Showrunner, says: “We all need a little romance in our lives around New Year. Less so, Daleks. But Aisling Bea and Adjani Salmon’s characters will have to deal with both in a New Year’s Eve from hell. Together with Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor, it’ll hopefully prove the perfect New Year’s Day tonic.”
