The BBC has released a synopsis for the next episode of Doctor Who, the unusually-titled Dot and Bubble.
Now we’re into the second half of Doctor Who Series 14, what can we expect from the upcoming episodes? We’ve had a musical-ish episode, a kooky tale about space babies, a folklore-inspired Stones of Blood-esque creeper, and the return of Steven Moffat when the Doctor trod on a landmine. This week, social media is under the spotlight…
The world of Finetime, a colony on an alien planet, seems happy and harmonious — but an awful terror is preying on the citizens. Lindy Pepper Bean (Callie Cooke) must contend with an out-of-control dangerous situation. A gurgling, slobbering, munching sound can be heard from around the corner and her friends are mysteriously disappearing. Can the Doctor and Ruby make the denizens of Finetime see the truth before it’s too late?
Is it just us or does this feel quite Big Finish-like already?
Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson are obviously back as the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday respectively, and here’s who else is in Dot and Bubble:
