This year’s festive “Doctor Who” episode, “The Church on Ruby Road,” will see the Fifteenth Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) take control of the TARDIS, and meet new companion Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) for the first time, and it will air worldwide on both Disney+ and the BBC on Christmas Day, December 25, 2023.
The Details
After splitting from the Fourteenth Doctor (David Tennant) in the last of the 60th anniversary specials, titled “The Giggle,” the Fifteenth Doctor will meet his companion in “The Church on Ruby Road.”
Little is known about Ruby Sunday, as she was abandoned on Christmas Eve as a baby. Now living with her mum, Carla (Michelle Greenridge), and grandmother, Cherry (Angela Wynter), her world is about to be turned upside down when she encounters the Doctor and the two set off on their first adventure together.
One that includes goblins…and perhaps the secret of her birth.
And not just any goblins, but singing goblins (warning…possible episode spoilers in the video):

Here is a look at what to expect from the Fifteenth Doctor, Ruby Sunday, and their upcoming adventure:

Are you excited to see the Fifteenth Doctor’s first adventure? Based on what I saw in “The Giggle,” I really like the energy Ncuti Gatwa (pronounced SHOO-tee GAT-wa) brings to the role.
