Gatwa's incarnation of the Doctor was introduced as a bi-generation of his predecessor (played by David Tennant).

The first episode of the season is titled Space Babies and it is expected that the Doctor and Ruby Sunday will embark on new adventures as seen in the trailer. The characters will certainly be traveling back to the 1960s as one of the teasers provided a glimpse into them encountering The Beatles at Abbey Road in the UK.

The season will also see the Doctor and Ruby embarking on exciting adventures in the TARDIS across various historical periods.
