Northampton’s Matt Smith is set to return to our screens as Doctor Who in a new series which starts on Easter Saturday.
Described as a ”modern day urban thriller”, The Bells of St John will screen on BBC One on March 30.
In the episode, Matt speeds down the Shard on a motorbike with his latest assistant, played by Jenna-Louise Coleman.
Viewers will see the pair battling a new adversary, the Spoonheads, against a backdrop of London landmarks including Westminster Bridge and the recently-opened Shard, as they discover something sinister lurking in the Wi-Fi.
The new episodes will see the pair involved in an underwater siege and a period drama, as well as the return of Richard E Grant playing the villainous Doctor Simeon from the last Christmas special.
Executive producer and lead writer Steven Moffat said: “It’s the 50th year of Doctor Who, and look what’s going on. We’re up in the sky and under the sea. We’re running round the rings of an alien world and then a haunted house. There’s new Cybermen, new Ice Warriors and a never before attempted journey to the centre of the TARDIS. And in the finale, the Doctor’s greatest secret will at last be revealed. If this wasn’t already our most exciting year, it would be anyway.”
