The Time Lord and Ruby Sunday Land in a World of Harmony, but an Ancient Terror Lurks.
The latest episode of Doctor Who, “Dot and Bubble,” airs Saturday, 1 June on BBC One, BBC iPlayer, and Disney+.
In this episode, the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and their companion, Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson), find themselves in the world of Finetime, a seemingly happy and harmonious place. However, an awful terror preys on the citizens, and the Doctor and Ruby must uncover the truth before it’s too late.
This episode follows the highly-rated “73 Yards,” which aired last week and saw the Doctor and Ruby stranded in Wales, where they stumbled upon a fairy circle. The Doctor disappeared, and Ruby was left alone, stalked by a mysterious woman. The episode channelled some great folk-horror tropes, “Dot and Bubble,” though looks to be a return to the show’s blend of adventure, drama, and science fiction, with the Doctor and Ruby facing a new threat in a new world.
Doctor Who: Season 14 Episode 5, “Dot and Bubble,” airs Saturday 1 June, 2024 at 6:50 pm on BBC One and will also be available earlier on iPlayer and Disney+.
