Doctor Who will have a Christmas special this year for the first time in five years and the festive offering also marks Ncuti Gatwas\u2019s first full outing as the fifteenth Doctor.<\/p>\n
As anticipation continues to build for the episode the BBC have released some first look images. Titled The Church on Ruby Road, which might reference the name of new companion Ruby Sunday, played by Milie Gibson, it appears to be set around the festive season.<\/p>\n
One image shows Ncuti as the Doctor with a tree that appears to have a star atop it in the background. Fittingly it is snowing to keep up with the Christmas feel, which is something of a tradition in the show special.<\/p>\n
Another image shows Ruby leaning wistfully on what appears to be an empty cot. The images also tease a look at a cute new creature although whether it is good or evil is unknown.<\/p>\n
In the images, Ncuti is seen wearing a brown leather coat with an orange top underneath it. However. it is not clear if this will be his usual attire as previously the BBC have released images of him in several different outfits, showing that he has a vast wardrobe compared to his predecessors.<\/p>\n
