WATCH: Doctor Who Revolution of the Daleks gets trailer and official release date

November 30th, 2020 by Marc Comments

We have a trailer for the 2020 (2021?) festive Doctor Who special, Revolution of the Daleks, at last and a release date which is, disappointingly, still not Christmas Day but once again falls on New Years Day.

It will feature the new designs for the Daleks, the 13th Doctor in the form of Jodie Whittaker, the fam and the return of John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harnkness – we’ve missed the Captain – and also another fairly familiar face in the form of Chris Noth as millionaire Jack Robertson who had previously been in the Season 11 series Arachnids in the UK.

of the episode, showrunner Chris Chibnall said:

“We’ve crammed this year’s Doctor Who festive special with an explosion of extraordinary acting talent. Where else would you get British acting royalty, a globally renowned US screen star, an (inter)national treasure of stage and screen and one of Britain’s hottest young actors — just in the guest cast! Put those together with Jodie Whittaker, Bradley Walsh, Mandip Gill and Tosin Cole (and Daleks! Did I mention Daleks!) — and you get a cast to be exterminated for. And things will explode. Promise.”

Are you excited for the Doctor and the fam – God, I hate that! – to return on New Years? Let me know…

Get ready for the festive special Revolution of the Daleks, coming to BBC One and BBC America on New Year’s Day.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
