Warning: Spoilers for Doctor Who\u2019s 2023 Christmas special, The Church on Ruby Road, ahead!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Christmas, we\u2019ve been treated to quite the gift in the form of Doctor Who<\/a>\u2018s festive special, The Church on Ruby Road<\/a> \u2013 and its spectacular musical number.<\/p>\n

The Goblin Song<\/a> has proven a hit among fans, with Christina Rotondo voicing Janis Goblin, but we also got to hear the musical talents of Doctor Who\u2019s two new lead actors, Ncuti Gatwa<\/a> and Millie Gibson<\/a>!<\/p>\n

After Janis finishes her musical stylings, the Doctor (Gatwa) introduces himself, saying: \u201cI\u2019m the Doctor and this is my friend, Ruby Sunday, and I would just like to say\u2026 why stop singing? Rock it, Janis!\u201d<\/p>\n

Breaking into song, he sings: \u201cThe Goblin King, the Goblin King, it\u2019s so good to meet you, you great big thing. I can see you\u2019re having a fun day, meet my friend, she\u2019s Ruby Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ruby\u2019s turn! \u201cIt\u2019s good to meet you, good to greet you, good to say how diddly-deet you. It\u2019s my birthday, my oh my, I\u2019m 50 miles up in the sky! Goblins, you can go to hell, \u2019cause you\u2019re not eating Lulubelle.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair manage to escape while the goblins are distracted, thankfully saving Lulubelle from the king!<\/p>

An all-singing, all-dancing Doctor and companion<\/a> duo you say? We love it.<\/p>\n

Rotondo, who voices Janis Goblin, previously opened up to RadioTimes.com,<\/a> saying of The Goblin Song: \u201cObviously, reading these lyrics, I\u2019m like, \u2018What is this song about?\u2019 I actually thought I was getting punked or something.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my head, I was going through all these scenarios like, \u2018What could this possibly be used for?!’\u201d<\/p>\n

Returning Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies has described The Church on Ruby Road as a \u201creinvention\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n
