<\/div>\n

The Church on Ruby Road<\/em>, the first full adventure for Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor, is due to be released on DVD<\/a> and Blu-ray<\/a> on 12th February 2024 — which means it’ll be a perfect Valentine’s Day present*!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2023 Christmas Day special introduced Millie Gibson as new companion, Ruby Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather funnily, the cast is listed as “Ncuti Gatwa, Milllie Gibson, and Davina McCall”; yes, McCall is in it, but you’d think some others actors — Anita Dobson at least — would be listed ahead of her cameo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, here’s the synopsis<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Long ago, on Christmas Eve, a baby was abandoned in the snow. Today, Ruby Sunday meets the Doctor, goblins, stolen babies, and perhaps, the secret of her birth.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

We presume this is like one of those “vanilla” releases of days gone by, and that the festive special will also be included in the Doctor Who<\/em> Series 14 complete set, which is surely coming later this year once all eight episodes of the season have been aired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Church on Ruby Road<\/em> is written by Russell T Davies, and directed by Mark Tonderai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and don’t forget that you can also get the novelisation of The Church on Ruby Road<\/em>, which is available now<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will you be getting this DVD<\/a> or Blu-ray<\/a>? Are you content to just stream it on BBC iPlayer or Disney+? Or are you waiting for the complete series set?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*We do not hold ourselves responsible for any tears resulting from such a romantic gift.<\/p>\n
