Moments after ‘The Doctor Falls’ broadcast, the BBC released the official synopses for the Christmas special, confirming Game of Thrones’ David Bradley’s version of The First Doctor — glimpsed moments before the series ended — will play an integral role in the multi-Doctor adventure.
Speaking on the after-show, Moffat said of filming the Christmas special — which will be directed by long-time collaborator Rachel Talalay: “At this moment we’re filming the Twelfth Doctor and the First Doctor meeting.
With the tenth series of Doctor Who now over, attention has turned towards the upcoming Christmas special — AKA Peter Capaldi and Steven Moffat’s final episode before Chris Chibnall takes over with an as-yet unannounced new Doctor.
“The cliff-hanger ending saw the Doctor fatally injured and beginning to regenerate,” reads the synopses.
