The Doctor and Ruby Sunday land in Lagos this Saturday, but it’s not the bustling metropolis one might expect. In “The Story & the Engine,” the TARDIS takes them to a version of Lagos where narratives have a strange, almost tangible power. This story-driven reality is overseen by the enigmatic Barber, a figure who seems to hold the threads of this unique world.
What exactly the Barber’s game is remains to be seen, but the Doctor rarely encounters benevolent overlords. The episode description mentions incredible friends and dangerous foes, and it’s a safe bet the Barber falls into the latter category. Add to that a vengeful Spider spinning its deadly web, and our time-traveling duo has their work cut out for them.
Expect chases, monsters, and maybe even a moment of joy amidst the chaos, all served up with the show’s trademark wit. Tune in to BBC One this Saturday, May 10 at 7:10 PM for the latest chapter in the Doctor’s ongoing adventures.
