With Doctor Who: Flux<\/a> having reached its conclusion last weekend, the attention of Whovians now turns to the upcoming New Year\u2019s Day Special, titled Eve of the Daleks<\/a>.<\/p>\n The episode is the first of a trilogy of specials planned for 2022 before Jodie Whittaker and Chris Chibnall leave the show, and the outgoing showrunner has teased that the episode is an \u201cintimate, standalone, time-loop romantic comedy\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cThe episode is basically a romantic comedy where the obstacle to the romance is not only the characters themselves, but the threat of Daleks,\u201d he told the most recent issue of Doctor Who Magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cBut there\u2019s still a big, fun, sci-fi concept at the heart of it. It\u2019s got the range of tones, the range of scares, the range of humour, and the range of mystery that you\u2019d want on New Year\u2019s Day.\u201d<\/p>\n The festive issue of DWM is out this week and it includes an exclusive preview of the New Year’s Day Special, Eve of the Daleks!
