Doctor Who will return for another special episode this autumn as part of the BBC's centenary celebrations. The news of the special episode was confirmed at the Edinburgh International TV Festival by BBC's Chief Content Officer Charlotte Moore, who was talking about the planned celebrations around the 100 years of the BBC.
"We've got a week celebrating our centenary in October, where we'll have some specials," said Moore. "We've got the Doctor Who centenary special." When pressed for teasers she did not divulge any more information about the episode.
Two previous specials, which feature Jodie Whittaker's outgoing Time Lord, were aired on New Year's Day and Easter Monday, this year. Whittaker's departure as the 13th Doctor will also coincide with showrunner Chris Chibnall leaving. The new, 14th Doctor Who will be Sex Education's Ncuti Gatwa and Russell T Davies will return to helm the show, which he originally helmed from 2005 to 2010.
