Doctor Who fans have been waiting patiently for the latest update on life inside the TARDIS, and now it’s finally upon us.

Revolution Of The Daleks has promised to bring some surprises, some tears, and a whole lot of adventure with faces like John Barrowman returning into the fold.

But what exactly is going to happen in the show and when can we finally watch it?

Here’s everything that you need to know before the Doctor’s biggest villains show up to exterrrrrminate our 2020.

(Though let’s be honest, none of us will be entirely mad at that bit, at least.)

Who is in the cast of Doctor Who: Revolution Of The Daleks?

The main cast list for this year’s series is:

• Doctor – Jodie Whittaker
• Ryan – Tosin Cole
• Graham – Bradley Walsh
• Yaz – Mandip Gill
• Captain Jack Harkness – John Barrowman
• Jack Robertson – Chris Noth
• Jo Patterson – Harriet Walter

This special will be bittersweet however, as after two series on adventures as Doctor’s companions, both Tosin Cole and Bradley Walsh will be leaving the series.

We’ll have to wait until the episode airs to find out how.

In a spoiler free summary of what happens, the BBC teased: ‘The upcoming festive special will see the return of one of the Doctor’s biggest and most feared enemies – the Daleks. 

‘The Doctor is locked away in a high-security alien prison. Isolated, alone, with no hope of escape. Far away, on Earth, her best friends, Yaz, Ryan and Graham have to pick up their lives without her.

‘But it’s not easy. Old habits die hard. Especially when they discover a disturbing plan forming. A plan which involves a Dalek.

‘How can you fight a Dalek, without the Doctor?’
