DOCTOR WHO SATURDAY, 6.45PM, BBC1 SCI-FI
The current series of BBC1’s sci-fi epic Doctor Who has given us plenty of alien encounters and deep-space adventures. But there’s something a little different on the cards in this week’s sixth instalment when the 15th Doctor (played by Ncuti Gatwa) and companion Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) embark on a Bridgerton-style Regency-era caper!
After the TARDIS lands in 1813, the time-travelling pair talk their way into a grand ball at the Duchess of Pemberton’s country manor, where they meet a stranger named Rogue (Glee and Frozen star Jonathan Groff) and the Duchess herself (The Capture’s Indira Varma).
‘This was my favourite episode!’ smiles Millie, 19. ‘I felt like a princess in my Regency dress, I was just floating around.’
‘Millie and I didn’t film together very much in this one because we were in separate story strands,’ adds Ncuti, 31. ‘But it definitely captures the Doctor and Ruby’s cheekiness as they go off and have these individual scandals. It was a lot of fun!’

Shona KIDNAPPED!
David Platt thought he was proper clever when he nabbed the bag of dirty cash that Damon Hay had left for Sarah - with the unexpected windfall, he was able to buy No.8 from Gail. He's not quite so smug now, though, is he? The money, it transpired, belonged to Harvey Gaskell, Damon's brother, and the incarcerated gangster wants it back. With interest. Harvey has already made threats to David, via his stooges on the outside, and this week he ups the ante and has Shona kidnapped.
