No I am not a New Year Grinch!
THE DALEKS ARE BACK!!!
Did I say the Daleks are back! The BBC has announced that Doctor Who’s 2022 New Year special is entitled ‘Eve of the Daleks’, and will see the Doctor once again spend January the 1st battling Skaro’s deadliest. Well, tradition is tradition. Both 2019’s ‘Resolution’ and 2021’s ‘Revolution of the Daleks’ put the Daleks front and centre on New Year’s Day, meaning this latest festive episode completes something of a trilogy for outgoing executive producer Chris Chibnall.
The forthcoming festive special was written by Chibnall and directed by Annetta Laufer, and sees the TARDIS crew joined by Aisling Bea, Adjani Salmon and Pauline McLynn. Here’s the official story synopsis:
Sarah (Aisling Bea) owns and runs ELF storage, and Nick (Adjani Salmon) is a customer who visits his unit every year on New Year’s Eve. This year, however, their night turns out to be a little different than planned as they find themselves joining forces with the Doctor, Dan and Yaz in a fight against the Daleks. The trailer for the special, which aired following the series thirteen finale, finds the cast trapped in ELF storage and stuck in a terrifying time loop with the Daleks. Will the gang manage to avoid extermination and escape the storage facility in time to see out New Year’s Day? From the Den of Geeks
Thanks Dave!
Fingers crossed that we all have a better 12 months than in recent years, though I was a little constrained at a letter in the paper this morning saying “Should we call this year 2020 too?”
Not all bad as we had some gaming, completed a lot of projects and have been waking up each morning. what more could we ask for?
We shall have to see how good the special is Dave ! LOL
Happy NewYear Dave- hope you have a great ’22.
Cheers,
Pete.
Thanks Pete the same to you and Nicola.
