Doctor Who is heading back to World War II for the upcoming Christmas special. Claire Skinner and Bill Bailey are amongst the guest stars...
Currently in production in Cardiff, a few details have been released regarding this year’s Doctor Who Christmas special.
Last week, some set snaps appeared, which revealed that Outnumbered actress Claire Skinner was in the cast for the episode. And it’s now been confirmed not only that she’s in the cast, but that she’s going to be joined by Bill Bailey, Alexander Armstrong and Arabella Weir.
As usual, we’re promised a very Christmassy episode, and this time, it’s going to be set in the middle of winter, during World War II. Skinner will play a young widow, Madge, who has two children. She describes the character in The Sun as “a bit of a super-mum”.
We’ll bring you more details on the Christmas special as we get them. Although we’re happy to have a stab at what day it’ll be screened on, if you like?
