San Diego Comedian-Con is perhaps sweltering within the blistering summer season warmth proper now, however Physician Who doesn’t care about proper now. It’s already Christmas for our favourite Time Lord, and which means it’s time for us to get a sneak glimpse on the fifteenth Physician’s subsequent journey.
Referred to as “Pleasure to the World” and written by returning former showrunner (no, not that one) Steven Moffat, the Christmas particular stars Bridgerton‘s Nicola Coughlan. It sees the fifteenth Physician flying solo for the primary time since final yr’s Christmas particular, “The Church on Ruby Street.” Though apparently not for lengthy, in line with the time-hopping clip launched by Coughlan herself at Physician Who‘s Corridor H panel at Comedian-Con, which introduces us to Pleasure, the Physician’s endless quest to ship a ham and cheese toastie with a pumpkin spice latte, and the shocking return of a well-recognized Physician Who species.

It’s an attention-grabbing twist, contemplating we simply bought the information of Physician Who spinoff The Warfare Between Land and Sea, specializing in the Sea Devils.
