First look at Doctor Who: Church on Ruby Road DVD and Blu-ray – order now

The special Christmas episode will be coming to DVD and Blu-ray on 12th February, but can be pre-ordered from Amazon on DVD and Blu-ray, from HMV on DVD and Blu-ray, and Rarewaves.

The Christmas special aired on Christmas Day and starred Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor, joined by Millie Gibson as new companion Ruby Sunday and also featuring Davina McCall, Michelle Greenidge and Angela Wynter.

The official logline for the episode from the BBC reads: "Long ago, on Christmas Eve, a baby was abandoned in the snow. Today, Ruby Sunday meets the Doctor, goblins, stolen babies and, perhaps, the secret of her birth."

Speaking about the episode to the BBC, showrunner and writer Russell T Davies commented at the time: "From day one in this job, I wanted Doctor Who back on Christmas Day! And with Ncuti, Millie, Davina and the Goblin King, I hope it’s a feast for all the family!"
