Unfortunately for Doctor Who fans, there’s a long wait until season 10, which will air in 2017.
Recently, Peter Capaldi hinted Jenna Coleman may be returning to the show sometime soon, saying the two had filming something together post season nine.
Steven Moffat, who is leaving the show once season 10 is over, said of Lucas’s return: “Delighted and slightly amazed to be welcoming Matt Lucas back on to the TARDIS – and this time it’s not just for Christmas, he’s sticking around.
In an attempt to avoid any rumours, the BBC has already announced the return of Matt Lucas to the series, the Little Britain actor having previously starred in the Christmas special The Husbands of River Song.
