To build up that courage, just to see, you know, will it be this time?\u201d he added. \u201cBut I guess the Doctor shows up, and there\u2019s chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt is a weird, little romcom with Daleks, which is fun. I was like, \u2018Yeah, let\u2019s do it.’\u201d<\/p>\n The episode\u2019s director, Annette Laufer, added that fans can expect Eve of the Daleks to be a \u201cvery Doctor Who episode\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cIt has all the elements of the fun, the comedy, the fear, the threat, the excitement, the action. And I think they\u2019ll come away really excited by having, again, a standalone episode as well, so that they can see it right to the end.\u201d<\/p>\n Additional reporting by Huw Fullerton.<\/em><\/p>\n To hear more from Adjani and Annetta, check out upcoming episodes of the Radio Times Doctor Who podcast. <\/strong><\/p>\n Doctor Who: Eve of the Daleks comes to BBC One on New Year\u2019s Day.
