It’s time to add the most recent instalment of Doctor Who to the DVD and Blu-ray collection.
It’s almost time to own the Doctor Who Christmas special for yourself, with the DVD and Blu-ray edition of Doctor Who: Church on Ruby Road ready to pre-order.
But that’s not all, as we have now got our first look at the cover of the physical release, with the main key art from the episode used once again – centring on Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor in front of a technicolour background.
The special Christmas episode will be coming to DVD and Blu-ray on 12th February, but can be pre-ordered from Amazon on DVD and Blu-ray, from HMV on DVD and Blu-ray, and Rarewaves.
Bring home the new Doctor’s first full-length adventure! ✨

The Christmas special aired on Christmas Day and starred Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor, joined by Millie Gibson as new companion Ruby Sunday and also featuring Davina McCall, Michelle Greenidge and Angela Wynter.
The official logline for the episode from the BBC reads: “Long ago, on Christmas Eve, a baby was abandoned in the snow. Today, Ruby Sunday meets the Doctor, goblins, stolen babies and, perhaps, the secret of her birth.”
Speaking about the episode to the BBC, showrunner and writer Russell T Davies commented at the time: “From day one in this job, I wanted Doctor Who back on Christmas Day! And with Ncuti, Millie, Davina and the Goblin King, I hope it’s a feast for all the family!”
