The Doctor and Clara face The Crimson Horror on BBC One at 6.30pm, tomorrow – Saturday, 4 May.
It’s a brilliant episode written by stalwart Mark Gatiss, so expect plenty of action, chills, humour and a wonderful sense of the macabre. Screen legend Dame Diana Rigg plays the sinister Mrs Gillyflower and her real-life daughter, Rachael Stirling, is Ada. And if that’s not enough the adventure sees the return of the Paternoster Gang with Strax, Madame Vastra and Jenny all embroiled in the mysterious goings-on in Sweetville… As Matt Smith commented, ‘It’s nice having the Doctor and his gang back!’
The Crimson Horror is set during the Victorian era and we soon discover there’s something very odd about Mrs Gillyflower’s Sweetville mill, with its beautiful people and the perfectly clean streets that lead to it. There’s something even stranger
about the bodies being found dead in the area – they’re all bright red and waxy! When the Doctor and Clara go missing, it’s up to the Time Lord’s old friends, Vastra, Jenny and Strax, to rescue them before they also fall victim to the Crimson Horror!
Straight after the adventure finishes you’ll find the latest behind the scenes video featuring Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman that looks at the making of the episode – right here on the site. We’ll also have a range of new galleries, The Crimson Quiz, a fact file on the story plus the ‘Next Time’ trail for Nightmare in Silver.
But if you can’t wait for all that, check out our clips section where you’ll find an introduction to The Crimson Horror featuring Matt Smith and Dan Starkey plus two great preview clips and a trailer.
The Crimson Horror is on BBC One at 6.30pm, tomorrow -Saturday, 4 May.
