The Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials are here and the first episode, The Star Beast, more than lived up to expectations with David Tennant and Catherine Tate reuniting for new adventures in the Tardis. Episode 2, Wild Blue Yonder, hits TV screen and streaming services shortly. We'll see the Doctor and companion duo flung across time and space and find themselves materializing on a seemingly abandoned spaceship. Popcorn at the ready. Here we go...

Much of the plot of episode two is shrouded in mystery, but Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies has described Wild Blue Yonder as "weird" and "scary", with the sneak peak making it seem a long way from last week’s romp. The second of the 60th Anniversary Specials is once again written by Davies (Torchwood) and is directed by franchise newcomer Tom Kingsley (This is Going to Hurt).
