Doctor Who is moving to Sundays.

The BBC has announced the show is moving to Sunday nights, away from its traditional Saturday slot.

The new series will begin on Sunday 7th October.

Chris Chibnall, showrunner, said: “New Doctor, new home! Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor is about to burst into Sunday nights – and make the end of the weekend so much more exciting. Get everybody’s homework done, sort out your Monday clothes, then grab some special Sunday night popcorn, and settle down with all of the family for Sunday night adventures across space and time. (Also, move the sofa away from the wall so parents can hide behind it during the scary bits). The Thirteenth Doctor is falling from the sky and it’s going to be a blast.”
