‘The Return of Doctor Mysterio’ has the distinction of being the first new episode of Doctor Who in a year, after season 10 was postponed until 2017.
I think a lot of the time a lot of people watch it who don’t normally watch Doctor Who, so it becomes rather like a tradition.
The holiday season is not just a time for family, friends and food, it also so happens to be when British fan-favorite series Doctor Who releases their new Christmas episode. This year’s special, titled ‘The Return of Doctor Mysterio,’ will follow the Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi) as he teams up with superhero The Ghost (Justin Chatwin) and investigative journalist Lucy Fletcher (Charity Wakefield) to save New York City from brain-swapping aliens.
The special will bridge the gap between last year’s Christmas episode and season 10 in April, which will be showrunner Steven Moffat’s last before he passes the series on to Chris Chibnall in 2018.
