A London bus, a mysterious wormhole, and a desert planet teeming with metal stingrays — Planet of the Dead boasts a hearty list of tasty Doctor Who plot ingredients even before you mix in a flirty almost-companion. David Tennant’s Doctor teams up with the aristocratic jewel thief Lady Christina de Souza in this slick, blockbuster-style Easter special. But beneath the high-speed chases and flirty banter lies a looming warning: he will knock four times. Grab your lobster card and hang on tight as we speed through sandstorms, UNIT cameos, and questionable bus seating arrangements!
