Boom. And just like that, Doctor Who<\/a> is back \u2013 and with a bang.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With two episodes dropping yesterday (Saturday 11th May), Space Babies<\/a> and The Devil\u2019s Chord<\/a>, Ncuti Gatwa\u2019s Time Lord has already been through a lot.<\/span><\/p>\n

Across a busy double-bill return, the Doctor met Golda Rosheuvel\u2019s Jocelyn<\/a> and visited an unnerving baby farm, as well as going toe-to-toe with Jinkx Monsoon\u2019s powerful antagonist Maestro<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet the Fifteenth Doctor and his companion, Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson), are set to face even more strange shenanigans in next week\u2019s episode \u2013 um, Boom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Written by the returning Steven Moffat, the episode sees the pair landing on a war-torn alien world, with the Doctor stepping on a landmine \u2013 leaving him unable to move.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exactly how the Time Lord gets out of that one is yet to be seen, but from teaser pictures released by the BBC, it appears that a young girl by the name of Splice (Caoilinn Springall) may hold the key.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a first-look photo of the character below, we can see her pointing to her temple in an Andor<\/a>-esque industrial environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Could she have some sort of powers that come in handy for our leading duo?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Outside of Splice, we meet a soldier with the truly menacing name of John (played by Joe Anderson) holding what genuinely is a truly menacing weapon, with his eyes covered by a piece of fabric.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And in this final picture, we see Gatwa standing awkwardly on the landmine, looking understandably shaken.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s hoping he\u2019s been doing his yoga, as that does not look comfortable\u2026 Back problems await, no doubt.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moffat has spoken excitedly about his \u201cdynamite\u201d upcoming return, saying<\/a>: \u201cIt\u2019s a collaboration of enthusiasm\u2026 what we\u2019re doing is giggling and laughing and shouting and bounding around the room about how clever and exciting all this is.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re not doing that on a show like Doctor Who \u2013 or frankly any show \u2013 what\u2019s the point?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Doctor Who continues next Saturday (18th May) on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.\u00a0<\/strong>Previous seasons are available to stream on\u00a0BBC iPlayer<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
