Officially confirmed to be titled Eve of the Daleks, the New Year\u2019s Day special will star Aisling Bea and Adjani Salmon alongside regular cast members Jodie Whittaker, Mandip Gill and Josh Bishop. Sadly, none of them seem to be playing a character called Eve \u2013 though the Daleks of the title are definitely out in force and causing havoc.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all need a little romance in our lives around New Year. Less so, Daleks,\u201d Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall said in a release.<\/p>
\u201cBut Aisling Bea and Adjani Salmon\u2019s characters will have to deal with both in a New Year\u2019s Eve from hell. Together with Jodie Whittaker\u2019s Doctor, it\u2019ll hopefully prove the perfect New Year\u2019s Day tonic.\u201d<\/p>\n
Giving a bit more detail, an episode synopsis reads:<\/p>\n
Sarah (Aisling Bea) owns and runs ELF storage, and Nick (Adjani Salmon) is a customer who visits his unit every year on New Year\u2019s Eve. This year, however, their night turns out to be a little different than planned as they find themselves joining forces with the Doctor, Dan and Yaz in a fight against the Daleks. <\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n The trailer for the special, which aired following the series thirteen finale, finds the cast trapped in ELF storage and stuck in a terrifying time loop with the Daleks. Will the gang manage to avoid extermination and escape the storage facility in time to see out New Year\u2019s Day?<\/em><\/p>\n Altogether, it sounds like the pace won\u2019t let up for the Doctor, Dan and Yaz even after they saved the universe from the Flux.<\/p>\n New Year\u2019s resolution for the TARDIS team \u2013 try and take a few weeks off to relax. And stay away from Daleks. But that\u2019s good advice all year round\u2026<\/p>\n Read more about Doctor Who:<\/strong><\/p>\n Doctor Who: Eve of the Daleks comes to BBC One on New Year\u2019s Day.
