It may feel like we\u2019ve just said goodbye to the Fourteenth Doctor and Donna in the 60th anniversary specials<\/a>, but Doctor Who is about to return with a brand-new TARDIS team for Christmas.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Christmas special, The Church on Ruby Road<\/a>, will act as Ncuti Gatwa<\/a>\u2018s first full episode as the Fifteenth Doctor, while it will also introduce us to Millie Gibson\u2019s new companion, Ruby Sunday.<\/p>\n

Showrunner Russell T Davies has called it a \u201creinvention of the show, brand new, but not a reboot\u201d<\/a>, adding that \u201cit\u2019s the same old show\u201d but \u201ceverything starts again, everything\u2019s seen through the eyes of Ruby Sunday and it\u2019s that lovely feeling of here we go, a new era beginning\u201d.<\/p>\n

The episode will see The Doctor and Ruby meet and immediately thrown into a battle against some seriously musical goblins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But as well as Gatwa and Gibson, who else is starring in The Church on Ruby Road and who will they all be playing? Read on for everything you need to know about the cast of the 2023 Doctor Who Christmas special.<\/p>\n
