It's a busy time for Doctor Who, with the upcoming spin-off, The War Between the Land and the Sea, set to air this December.

The BBC also recently confirmed the future of the main show, revealing that the deal with Disney is no longer in place.

However, the Doctor and the TARDIS will be back in action next Christmas, with showrunner Russell T Davies set to pen a new festive special.

Recently chatting exclusively to RadioTimes.com, Davies revealed the status of that special.

Asked whether he's started writing the special, Davies told us: "Not at the moment because I'm busy on [The War Between the Land and the Sea]. I'm also shooting a show in Manchester, so next year my plate clears and we'll get to work on that."

While he's keeping quiet on the details, Davies also confirmed he's got the plot all worked out, saying: "I know exactly what happens in it, don't worry about that."

The War Between the Land and the Sea is coming to BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 7th December. Doctor Who is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
