The blue carpet premiere for the Doctor Who Christmas special, “The Church on Ruby Road,” took place today in London, where Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson lit the London Eye up in “Time Vortex” blue.
What’s Happening:
- Earlier today, Gatwa (The Doctor) and Gibson (Ruby Sunday) pushed the button to light the London Eye landmark in the colors of the iconic Doctor Who Time Vortex earlier to celebrate the premiere.
- Additionally, a blue carpet world premiere screening of the Christmas Special and Q&A with Gatwa, Gibson and showrunner Russell T Davies took place at the British Film Institute, Southbank today.
- Alongside the blue carpet premiere, a new teaser for the Christmas special was released today by Disney+.
- Long ago on Christmas Eve, a baby was abandoned in the snow. Today, Ruby Sunday meets the Doctor, stolen babies, goblins and perhaps the secret of her birth.

- Fans can also listen to and watch “The Goblin Song” from the special, which was released today – with proceeds going to BBC Children in Need.
