The new Doctor Who Christmas special, 'Joy to the World,' is a hit with fans and critics alike. Starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor, the special sees him embark on a solo adventure with a mysterious guest, Joy, played by Nicola Coughlan. Expect dinosaurs, danger, and a lot of Moffat-esque wit.
The second Doctor Who Christmas special with Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor is officially here. Premiering on Christmas Day, the special has already done well globally, in addition to sporting an 80% critic's score on Rotten Tomatoes.Joy to the World is currently sitting in the Top 10 movies worldwide for Disney+. The Christmas special also marks the second return of Steven Moffat to Doctor Who since he stepped away as showrunner. The first was the Season 1 episode Boom.
For months, fans have been anticipating just what Moffat meant when he said the Christmas special is what the Doctor is like when he travels alone. The synopsis for the Christmas Special is as follows: When Joy checks into a London hotel in 2024, she opens a secret doorway to the Time Hotel — discovering danger, dinosaurs and the Doctor. But a deadly plan is unfolding across the Earth, just in time for Christmas. The Christmas special, after a montage of the Doctor trying to find the owner of a ham and cheese toastie and a pumpkin latte (an odd combination but, go off), opens with just that concept. We see him exiting the TARDIS into the Time Hotel in the 43rd Century, with two mugs of coffee in hand, muttering how it's a habit and that he always forgets after they leave. They, meaning his companions, the latest of which is Millie Gibson's Ruby Sunday. Eventually, he meets Joy (Nicola Coughlan), and the journey linked to a mysterious briefcase unfolds. Close Moffat is good at feeding fans that are particularly fond of his era of Doctor Who. Moffat served as showrunner during the Eleventh (Matt Smith) and Twelfth (Peter Capaldi) Doctors' runs. He took over for returning showrunner Russel T. Davies who began the rebooted series back in 200
