It may feel like the show only just returned, but we are already hurtling towards the two-part Doctor Who<\/a> season 14 finale.<\/p>\n

The first part is titled The Legend of Ruby Sunday and as always it will first arrive on BBC iPlayer at midnight. However, for those wanting to watch the episode as it is broadcast on BBC One, we now know the exact time it will air \u2013 6:30pm on Saturday 15th June<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to the official synopsis for the episode, it will see the Doctor and UNIT investigating Ruby\u2019s past. However, as the Time Window reveals horrifying secrets from Christmas Eve, the mysterious Triad Technology unleashes the greatest evil of all.<\/p>\n

The cast list<\/a> for the episode has also been unveiled, with the likes of Jemma Redgrave\u2019s Kate Lethbridge-Stewart<\/a>,\u00a0Bonnie Langford<\/a>\u2018s Mel Bush and Yasmin Finney\u2019s Rose Noble<\/a> all making a return, alongside new stars such as\u00a0Lenny Rush<\/a> as Morris Gibbons, Genesis Lynea as Harriet.<\/p>\n

Susan Twist<\/a> will also be back in what seems to be a major new role, playing Susan Triad \u2013 a character some have theorised to be related to the TARDIS, given the anagram created by her first initial and surname, S TRIAD.<\/p>\n

Showrunner Russell T Davies has previously called Empire of Death \u2013 the season finale which will air a week after The Legend of Ruby Sunday \u2013 \u201cliterally, the biggest finale ever\u201d<\/a> and stressed that fans should try and stay up till midnight between Friday and Saturday to watch it when it becomes available on BBC iPlayer.<\/p>\n

He told RadioTimes.com<\/a>: \u201cWe are dropping these episodes at midnight, and if ever you\u2019re going to stay up until midnight with a bottle of cider or a box of chocolates and sit there and watch Doctor Who, I would recommend it for that one \u2013 because you will be screaming.<\/p>\n

\u201cTry to stay unspoilt, because it\u2019s so hard to be unspoilt with things. Try, try, try, and you will have a whale of a time with that one.\u201d<\/p>\n
