The second picture introduces fans to a new character – offering the first glimpse of Rodon, the leader of the feral cats, who will be played in the special by Fleabag star Ray Fearon.
An air date for the special has yet to be officially announced, although it has been confirmed it will air at some point in 2020. Plot details are still under wraps.
