Looks like we’re in for a very Happy Who Year, with a first-look trailer for Doctor Who‘s festive special is set to air on January 1st 2021 at 6:45 p.m. and will run for 70 minutes.

It promises explosive Dalek action and starry guest actors while Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor whiles away the hours in prison.

Introducing guest stars Chris Noth (returning as series 11’s Robertson), Harriet Walter and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett alongside the already-announced John Barrowman MBE, Revolution of the Daleks, the new trailer promises excitement, exterminations and some serious deadly danger. And that’s based on just 60 seconds of footage…

Showing off the Daleks acting as Downing street drones, the “fam” taking on Robertson and rogue squid Daleks attaching themselves to their victims, there looks like there’s a LOT for us to enjoy this episode – even if the Doctor is apparently trapped for most of it.

And who doesn’t love a TARDIS base of operations full of post-its?

“Where else would you get British acting royalty, a globally renowned US screen star, an (inter)national treasure of stage and screen and one of Britain’s hottest young actors — just in the guest cast!” series showrunner Chris Chibnall said in a release.

“Put those together with Jodie Whittaker, Bradley Walsh, Mandip Gill and Tosin Cole (and Daleks! Did I mention Daleks!) — and you get a cast to be exterminated for. And things will explode. Promise.”

Based on what we’ve seen so far, he’s not bluffing…

One of the most iconic characters in the Whoniverse is returning for the upcoming Festive Special of Doctor Who as John Barrowman MBE puts on his famous coat once more and reprises his role as Captain Jack Harkness.

Putting on Jack’s coat and setting foot back on the set of Doctor Who was just like going back home.

The cheeky Captain left viewers reeling in the series 12 episode, Fugitive of the Judoon, when he made a brief surprise appearance with a stark warning for Yaz, Ryan and Graham to pass on to the Doctor before disappearing.

In the upcoming special titled Revolution of the Daleks, Captain Jack will be on hand to help ‘the fam’ as they discover a disturbing plan forming involving one of the Doctor’s most feared and dangerous enemies, the Daleks. With the Thirteenth Doctor locked away in a space prison, will Captain Jack be able to help save planet Earth?

On returning for the Festive Special, John Barrowman MBE reveals: “Putting on Jack’s coat and setting foot back on the set of Doctor Who was just like going back home. It’s always thrilling to play Captain Jack. He’s a character very close to my heart who changed my life, and to know the fans love him as much as I do makes his return even sweeter. I hope everyone enjoys Jack’s Heroic adventure with Thirteen.”

Chris Chibnall, Executive Producer, says: “A Doctor Who Festive Special means treats galore, and there’s no bigger treat than the return of John Barrowman to Doctor Who, for an epic and emotional feature-length episode. If anyone can blast away the sheer rubbishness of 2020, it’s Captain Jack. Daleks beware!”

Matt Strevens, Executive Producer BBC Studios, adds: “After a tantalisingly brief appearance in Fugitive of the Judoon it’s a total joy and thrill to welcome back John as Captain Jack. One of the most iconic characters in Doctor Who lore, his presence ignites this Festive Special from the start.”

Revolution of the Daleks will air over the festive period on BBC One with more details to be revealed soon. Doctor Who is a BBC Studios Production.
