It鈥檚 time to set your alarms! The Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) is on his way back to your screens, this time with a new addition to the TARDIS, Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu).

Season two will officially launch on Saturday 12 April at 8am on 91热爆 iPlayer and later that day on 91热爆 One in the UK. At the same time, those outside of the UK can watch the Doctor and Belinda on their epic adventures on Disney+ where available.

And that鈥檚 not all鈥 Emmy Award winner Alan Cumming will guest star in the second episode as Mr Ring-a-Ding. He鈥檚 a happy, funny, singalong cartoon, who lives in Sunny Town with his friend Sunshine Sally. However, in 1952, after years of repeats in cinemas across the land, Mr Ring-a-Ding suddenly looks beyond the screen and sees the real world outside - and the consequences are terrifying.

A tall, slim powder blue coloured cartoon character emerges from a pair of red velvet curtains wearing a purple suit with yellow waistcoat and pink bow tie, smiling.

Russell T Davies, Showrunner says: 鈥淥nly Alan Cumming could give a runaway cartoon so much wit, malice, danger and fun. He makes the whole universe of Doctor Who wilder and madder than ever, and it鈥檚 an absolute honour to welcome him on board the TARDIS.鈥
