The Fifteenth Physician is lastly right here — at the least, for a one-off Christmas particular.
After making an look within the third anniversary particular by way of a little bit of “bigeneration,” Ncuti Gatwa is finally stepping as much as the plate as The Physician. He’ll be joined by new companion Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson), who lives a quiet life together with her grandma and mother till The Physician exhibits up. In “The Church on Ruby Highway,” they’ll each come nose to nose with mysterious goblins, and need to riddle their approach out of a Christmas journey.
Although it’ll be a bit earlier than the brand new season of Physician Who premieres, we’ve been ready an awfully very long time to see Gatwa as The Physician. So it’s comprehensible if we’re all excited to observe the Christmas particular as quickly as we probably can — and right here’s how.
The best way to watch the Physician Who Christmas particular on Disney Plus

Meaning we are able to most likely count on the identical kind of launch schedule: Disney shall be releasing the particular concurrently with its broadcast within the U.Ok., that means for those who’re watching it on Disney Plus, the brand new specials will drop on Christmas at 9:55 a.m. PST/12:55 p.m. EST.

Yup! You’ll be capable of watch Physician Who’s 2023 Christmas particular on BBC One and the BBC iPlayer within the U.Ok. beginning at 5:55 p.m. on December 25 (that’s Christmas).
What do I must have watched beforehand?
As with the Physician Who anniversary specials: Technically nothing — the franchise has been going for 60 years and counting, so there’s a whole lot of Who you could possibly make amends for, however how might you even decide the place to start out?
However it’s most likely useful to have at the least watched the anniversary specials, significantly the final one, “The Giggle,” which options the handoff between David Tennant’s Tenth/Fourteenth Physician and Gatwa’s Fifteenth. Suffice it to say, Gatwa’s Physician will get launched in an unorthodox (and, frankly, lower than stellar) approach, which can little doubt be a little bit of backstory for the particular. Plus it’s simply enjoyable to get a way of what Gatwa is bringing to the function already — he’s a star!
In the event you do need to revisit any older Physician Who, you’ll need to take a look at the Russell T. Davies part, as he’s the brand new (returning) showrunner; so that you’re on the lookout for collection 1 by way of collection 5. These received’t be viewable on Disney Plus, although, solely Max.
