CAN THE DOCTOR SAVE MANHATTAN THIS CHRISTMAS?
This Christmas sees the Doctor join forces with a masked Superhero for an epic New York adventure. With brain-swapping aliens poised to attack, the Doctor and Nardole link up with an investigative reporter and a mysterious figure known only as The Ghost. Can the Doctor save Manhattan? And what will be revealed when we see behind the mask?
Peter Capaldi stars as the Doctor, Matt Lucas (Bridesmaids, Little Britain) as Nardole, Justin Chatwin (Orphan Black, Shameless) as Grant and Charity Wakefield (Wolf Hall, The Player) as an investigative journalist.
The special is written by Steven Moffat, executive produced by Brian Minchin, produced by Peter Bennett and directed by Ed Bazalgette (Poldark). It was shot in Cardiff at BBC Wales Roath Lock Studios.
The Return of Doctor Mysterio premieres Sunday, December 25 at 5:45pm GMT on BBC One and 9/8c on BBC AMERICA.
So much for never coming back to NYC?
I’m going to guess the Doctor got the guts to come in via New Jersey.
#this looks pretty good but I’m still somewhat unsure #Partly because it seems very white for a story set in NYC #and partly because they’ve really been pushing matt lucas as the co lead and I really don’t trust or like him very much
