The Bridgerton star has an awkward hotel room encounter with Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor in an exclusive clip shown at San Diego Comic-Con.
Doctor Who fans at this weekend's San Diego Comic-Con were treated to an exclusive clip from the upcoming Christmas special, guest-starring Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton, Derry Girls) as Joy. Debuting at the Hall H panel on Friday 26th July, the clip was introduced with a special video message from Nicola.
"I am thrilled to be joining Doctor Who for the Christmas special this year, and I am so excited for you to meet my character, Joy."
In the exclusive 3-minute clip, we see Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor appearing in random points through Earth's history - offering a ham and cheese toastie and pumpkin spice latte to the bewildered people he meets - before eventually meeting Joy at her hotel room in London, 2024. Meanwhile, Joy, who has just checked in, finds herself much less alone in her single hotel room than previously anticipated...
Where has the Doctor been? What did Joy see in her room? And who is the ham and cheese toastie really for? We'll have to find out when Doctor Who returns this Christmas...
