Doctor Who special for New Year

Annual special will time-travel by a week this festive season.

Doctor Who is getting a New Year’s Day special in the UK, instead of a Christmas special this year, written by Chris Chibnall and directed by Wayne Yip.

As the New Year begins, a terrifying evil is stirring from across the centuries of Earth’s history. As the Doctor, Ryan, Graham and Yaz return home, will they be able to overcome the threat to planet Earth?

Charlotte Moore, Director of Content, says: “We’re delighted the Doctor and her companions will be welcoming BBC One audiences into 2019 with this exciting new episode. The Doctor’s fans are in for a special treat on the first day of the new year.”

Showrunner Chris Chibnall says: “We’re thrilled to be starting the New Year with a bang on BBC One, as Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor and friends face a terrifying alien threat in an action-packed, hour-long special adventure for all the family.”

ABC is yet to announce Australian broadcast details, likely to land on Wednesday January 2.
