Stephen Fry and Sir Lenny Henry appear in the spectacular opening episode of a tense two-parter that promises to blow away the post-Christmas cobwebs.
The story begins with the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) and her companions – Yaz (Mandip Gill), Ryan (Tosin Cole) and Graham (Bradley Walsh) – battling to save the day when intelligence agents around the world come under attack from aliens. As the foursome travel the globe looking for answers, danger lurks at every turn, but with Earth’s security resting on the gang’s shoulders, where will this planetthreatening conspiracy lead them?
