In the new series, audiences join The Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) on an epic quest to get Belinda back to Earth. But a mysterious force is stopping their return and the time-travelling TARDIS team must face great dangers, ferocious enemies and wilder terrors than ever before.
The BBC have confirmed that the first episode, The Robot Revolution written by Russell T Davies, will air at 6:50pm on BBC One, with the episode available on iPlayer the same day from 8am in the UK and Disney+ internationally. The run time is 46 minutes.
“Under a starlit sky, two teenage sweethearts share a moment: he presents her with a star – her star – named in her honour. Miss Belinda Chandra. It’s cute, it’s quirky, it’s… just a certificate. But then Robots rock up at Belinda’s. They’re from Missbelindachandra One – and they want their queen back. Can The Doctor rescue Her Majesty Queen Belinda, and quash the robot revolution?”
