With David Tennant's (now 14th) Doctor and trusty companion Donna Noble (played by Catherine Tate) reuniting in the first of the three 60th Anniversary Specials, episode 2 sees them getting back to grips with the TARDIS and travelling through space and time to their next adventure.

A standalone story from the first instalment, returning showrunner Russell T Davies has previously described episode 2 as "very scary", with Tennant saying that it's "unlike any episode of Doctor Who ever". So we suggest that you get that space behind the sofa clear and ready for you to hide in.

As ever, the BBC is giving very little away about the upcoming episode, but the teaser trailer (which you can find at the bottom of this article) suggests that the TARDIS's early warning system is trying to let the Doctor and Donna know that they've landed in hostile territory. "There's something on this ship that's so bad the TARDIS ran away?" asks Donna, prompting a decidedly anxious "Yes" from the Time Lord.

Star Beast – the first episode of the new trilogy – has been universally lauded as a return to form for the beloved show, so we can't wait to see what Davies and director Tom Kingsley have up their sleeve next.
