It’s been amazing to see the whole world appreciate Golda’s talents, because of Bridgerton, and it’s been an absolute joy to invite her to Cardiff to help launch Ncuti and Millie’s first season.
As Doctor Who gears up for its highly anticipated simultaneous global premiere this May, the episode titles have now been revealed for the season, as well as another incredible guest star who has jumped aboard the TARDIS.
And, as another Easter treat, viewers will be given another official trailer that will launch on the BBC Doctor Who social channels at 6pm before its first airing on BBC One on Sunday 31 March.
Up first, in the Julie Anne Robinson directed Space Babies, is Golda Rosheuvel (Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story) who joins Doctor Who as Jocelyn, who the Doctor and Ruby collide with in their first adventure in the TARDIS together.
Russell T Davies, Showrunner adds: “It’s been amazing to see the whole world appreciate Golda’s talents, because of Bridgerton, and it’s been an absolute joy to invite her to Cardiff to help launch Ncuti and Millie’s first season.”
Rounding out the explosive double bill is previously announced Jinkx Monsoon who stars in The Devil’s Chord as the Doctor’s most powerful enemy yet. In this episode the Doctor and Ruby step back to the sixties to meet The Beatles.
New episodes will then debut weekly across BBC iPlayer, BBC One and outside of the UK on Disney+ (where available), with the Steven Moffat penned adventure Boom up next, followed by 73 Yards’, Dot and Bubble, Rogue, and a massive two part finale spread across two weeks titled The Legend of Ruby Sunday and Empire of Death.
Over the rest of the season there are an array of brilliant guest stars jumping aboard the TARDIS, including Callie Cooke, Dame Siân Phillips, Alexander Devrient, Bhav Joshi, Majid Mehdizadeh-Valoujerdy, Tachia Newall and Caoilinn Springall.
They join the previously announced guest cast: Michelle Greenidge, Angela Wynter, Anita Dobson, Aneurin Barnard, Yasmin Finney, Jonathan Groff, Gwïon Morris Jones, Bonnie Langford, Genesis Lynea, Jemma Redgrave, Lenny Rush and Indira Varma.
