About 'Doctor Who' Holiday Special, 'The Church on Ruby Road'

Many, years ago, a newborn infant was abandoned during a cold and snowy night. Fast-forwarding to the present day, a girl named Ruby Sunday makes the most consequential acquaintance of her life when she meets the Doctor. She also gets a close-up look at stolen babies, goblins, and perhaps gets closer to the mystery of her birth.

“The Church at Ruby Road” will introduce Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor, taking the reins from David Tennant and beginning his own reign as the Time Lord with the heart of gold. Grab your sonic screwdriver and come along for the ride, because the TARDIS is about to blast off for parts and times unknown!
