Earlier today Twelfth Doctor Peter Capaldi, companion Pearl Mackie and showrunner Steven Moffat took in Toronto, Canada and let out some news about this year’s Christmas Special.
The team appeared on the CTV breakfast show, ‘Your Morning’ where Peter Capaldi and Steven Moffat chatted to host Melissa Grelo. During the interview, it was confirmed that the 2016 Christmas Special completed filming last Friday and that Justin Chatwin will have a guest role.

Canadian-born Chatwin is well known as one of the stars of the America version of Shameless. Set in the Chicago, not Manchester. Many may also know him from shows such as ‘Lost’, ‘Orphan Black’ and as Tom Cruise’s son in the 2005 film version of ‘War of the Worlds’. Also revealed was that Chatwin will play a superhero in what is expected to be a ‘very festive’ Christmas special.
The interview can now be seen via the CTV website (Canada only).
This early morning visit to ‘Your Morning’ was also followed by chats to E Online Canada for Peter and Pearl, to etalk, Canada’s #1 Entertainment Show for the whole team and to Space Channel HQ. Some of the visits were recorded and photos shared on Twitter by BBC Worldwide PR Exec, Reetu Kabra.
