The last time Doctor Who was on our screens, it was Christmas 2015, when the Doctor shared the screen with his wife, River Song.
When asked when the new Doctor Who season could be expected, Capaldi- dressed in period costume-replies “We’ll be on at Christmas and then it starts again in April, I believe.”
Doctor Who will return to BBC 1 and BBC America for the 2016 Christmas special.
The annual Christmas Special aired after the conclusion of season nine, which saw the departure of Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald.
