All the way from SDCC 2024, we have our first look at this year’s Doctor Who Christmas Special, written by Steven Moffat.
It’s been a while since Doctor Who took the Christmas Day slot and despite the lackluster previous series, I will be looking forward to this one.
The new clip, below, is introduced by our very own Nicola Coughlan, star of Derry Girls, and shows very little of the adventure but does have a playful, festive feel that has our attention so far.
Doctor Who fans at this weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con were treated to an exclusive clip from the upcoming Christmas special, guest-starring Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton, Derry Girls) as Joy. Debuting at the Hall H panel on Friday 26th July, the clip was introduced with a special video message from Nicola.
“I am thrilled to be joining Doctor Who for the Christmas special this year, and I am so excited for you to meet my character, Joy.”

In the exclusive 3-minute clip, we see Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor appearing in random points through Earth’s history – offering a ham and cheese toastie and pumpkin spice latte to the bewildered people he meets – before eventually meeting Joy at her hotel room in London, 2024. Meanwhile, Joy, who has just checked in, finds herself much less alone in her single hotel room than previously anticipated…
Where has the Doctor been? What did Joy see in her room? And who is the ham and cheese toastie really for? We’ll have to find out when Doctor Who returns this Christmas…

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….
