The new specials, which finally have a confirmed release date, will be followed by a Christmas special which will star Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor, before his first full season arrives in 2024.

And the Doctor Who news just continues to get ever more exciting, with it recently being announced that Kate Herron and Briony Redman are joining forces to write an episode for the upcoming season.

The new era of the long-running sci-fi show sees a return of showrunner Russell T Davies, who doesn't seem to be going anywhere else anytime soon.

Recently speaking at the recorded concert of BBC Radio 2's Doctor Who @ 60: A Musical Celebration, Davies hinted at possibly staying on for four seasons, which has come as a delight to fans who are counting down the days until the new episodes.
