The 2016 Doctor Who Christmas special airs on BBC America in the U.S. and BBC One in UK on December 25th.
This isn’t Lucas’s first time on a Doctor Who Christmas Special – he’s reprising the role that he played in the 2015 special ‘The Husbands of River Song’.
The description promises much of the same sci-fi goodness that makes Doctor Who such an incredible show, as Capaldi’s Doctor has to battle once more to save the world from an alien threat.
It’s great to see the comedy stylings of Matt Lucas returning to the world of Doctor Who, and we’re excited to watch Moffat’s take on the superhero trope this Christmas.
