The Fifteenth Physician is lastly right here — at the least, for a one-off Christmas particular.
After making an look within the third anniversary particular via a little bit of “bigeneration,” Ncuti Gatwa is eventually stepping as much as the plate as The Physician. He’ll be joined by new companion Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson), who lives a quiet life along with her grandma and mother till The Physician reveals up. In “The Church on Ruby Street,” they’ll each come nose to nose with mysterious goblins, and must riddle their approach out of a Christmas journey.
Although it’ll be a bit earlier than the brand new season of Physician Who premieres, we’ve been ready an awfully very long time to see Gatwa as The Physician. So it’s comprehensible if we’re all excited to observe the Christmas particular as quickly as we probably can — and right here’s how.
