Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies details the heartbreaking backstory of Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor's companion Ruby

Doctor Who.

Showrunner Russell T Davies reveals that this year's Doctor Who Christmas special, titled Doctor Who: The Church on Ruby Road, will focus not only on The Doctor’s new sidekick Ruby, but her origins too. 

"It’s unashamedly the story of Ruby, it’s called 'The Church On Ruby Road' because that’s where the church is where Ruby was left as a baby in 2004," Davies tells SFX magazine in the new issue, which features Doctor Who on the cover. "So, she’s named after that church. She’s a foundling, so no one knows who her mother or father is." He continues, "She was named after the church on Ruby Road."
