The BBC has confirmed the air time for this year\u2019s Doctor Who New Year\u2019s Day special<\/a> \u2013 with Eve of the Daleks set to go out at 7pm on BBC One.<\/p>\n

The episode \u2013 one of a trilogy of 2022 specials that will mark the end of Jodie Whittaker\u2019s tenure as the Doctor \u2013 has been described by the BBC as an \u201caction-packed spectacular\u201d and follows the events of the recently concluded Doctor Who: Flux<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Regular cast members Whittaker, Mandip Gill and Josh Bishop will be joined for the episode by Aisling Bea and Adjani Salmon, who play ELF storage owner Sarah and her customer Nick respectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all need a little romance in our lives around New Year. Less so, Daleks,\u201d Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall said of the special.<\/p>\n

\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>

A teaser trailer for the special debuted on BBC One following Flux finale\u00a0 The Vanquishers<\/a>, including a brief look at an upgraded Dalek, while the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) and companions Yaz (Gill) and Dan (Bishop) intriguingly appear to be exterminated in the clip.<\/p>\n

Speaking in the most recent issue of\u00a0 Doctor Who Magazine<\/a>, Gill teased that the episode could be a rather timey wimey instalment<\/a> of the show, explaining: \u201cWe did a lot of running, and it got quite confusing at times \u2013 being trapped in a time loop, repeating the same scenes as it gets closer and closer to midnight.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2022 special will mark the third consecutive year that the Daleks have played a significant role in a New Year\u2019s Day episode, following 2020\u2019s Resolution<\/a>\u00a0and 2021\u2019s\u00a0 Revolution of the Daleks<\/a> \u2013 although this time out, we\u2019re being introduced to some brand new Executioner Daleks<\/a>.<\/p>\n
