Doctor Who - Season 1 (Series 14): Episode Titles/Writers Revealed/New Trailer

With less than six weeks to go, things are full steam ahead in promoting Doctor Who. Not only did we get a new trailer for the upcoming series, but the episode titles and writers confirmed as well. Here goes.

Season 1 (Series 14) will comprise of the following episodes ....

Space Babies: Written by Russell T. Davies. Directed by Julie Anne Robinson.

The Devil's Chord: Written by Russell T. Davies. Directed by Ben Chessell.

Boom: Written by Steven Moffat. Directed by Julie Anne Robinson.

73 Yards: Written by Russell T. Davies. Directed by Dylan Holmes Williams.

Dot And Bubble: Written by Russell T. Davies. Directed by Dylan Holmes Williams.

Rogue: Written by Kate Herron And Briony Redman. Directed by Ben Chessell.

The Legend Of Ruby Sunday: Written by Russell T. Davies. Directed by Jamie Donoughue.

Empire Of Death: Written by Russell T. Davies. Directed by Jamie Donoughue.

On top of the writers and episode titles being confirmed, we also had other guest actors revealed to be joining the 15th Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) in their debut series.

Golda Rosheuvel (Queen Charlotte from Bridgerton) will appear as Jocelyn in the opening episode. Other guest actors confirmed yesterday included  Callie Cooke, Siân Phillips, Bhav Joshi, Majid Mehdizadeh-Valoujerdy, Tachia Newall and Caoilinn Springall. 

As for the actors playing The Beatles in the second episode, CultBox confirmed that it's George Caple as Paul McCartney, James Hoyle as Ringo Starr, Philip Davies as George Harrison and Chris Mason as John Lennon respectively. The episode will also be a musical, which the trailer pretty much revealed.

Anyways to get the elephant out of the room, I can see both sides in the current discourse over writers tbh. Yes, it would've been nice to have had at least one or two new writers but Russell T. Davies has seemingly confirmed that we'll get more writers for Season 2 (Series 15), which is currently halfway filming. As for the spin-off rumours, we're still no closer to figuring out what's going there.

Last but not least, Doctor Who has bagged some Hugo nods for the specials Wild Blue Yonder and The Giggle. Meanwhile, former showrunner Chris Chibnall will adapt the Agatha Christie novel, The Seven Dials Mystery as a series for Netflix. Russell T. Davies recently confirmed that he asked Chibnall to write an episode for the new series but the latter declined. I don't doubt Chibnall will come back at a later date.
