Twice Upon A Time

Up until now the BBC has been diligently silent on what exactly is going to happen in the 2017 Doctor Who Christmas special.

Outgoing showrunner Steven Moffat has merely hinted that the last episode featuring Peter Capaldi’s Twelfth Doctor will be ‘dark’ in tone, while the short teaser trailer (below) has shown Mark Gatiss’s character ‘The Captain’ seemingly stuck in time, the Twelfth Doctor trying to come to terms with the First Doctor, and the return of Bill Potts.

But now, there is a great big bundle of new information to digest, thanks – slightly unexpectedly – to the BBC Shop.

The American online BBC store has published its listing for the Blu-Ray DVD version of this year’s Christmas special Twice Upon A Time. While the DVD won’t be available until 20th February 2018, well after the episode has first aired on TV, the BBC is offering it up for pre-order very early.

Included in the listing is the first official synopsis for the Doctor Who 2017 Christmas special.

Two Doctors stranded in a forbidding snowscape, refusing to face regeneration. And a British army captain seemingly destined to die in the First World War, but taken from the trenches to play his part in the Doctor’s story. This is the magical last chapter in the Twelfth Doctor’s epic adventure. He must face his past to decide his future. And the Doctor will realise the resilience of humanity, discovering hope in his darkest frozen moment. It’s the end of an era. But the Doctor’s journey is only just beginning. 

Sends a chill up your spine doesn’t it?
