A terrifying threat awaits as the TARDIS touches down on a brutal planet in the far future in this week's Doctor Who adventure, titled The Well, on BBC1.

The Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Belinda (Varada Sethu) find that the devastated mining colony appears to have just one survivor, but as they attempt to discover what happened ahead of their arrival, they face a horror unlike anything they've witnessed before...

The episode features guest appearances from former EastEnders actor and 2021 Strictly Come Dancing champion Rose Ayling-Ellis, soon to be seen in ITV1 crime thriller Code of Silence, and Slow Horses star Christopher Chung.

Here, Rose, 30, and Christopher, 36, reveal what it was like to enter the Whoniverse...

How would you describe your characters, Aliss and Cassio?

ROSE Aliss is a determined mother, desperate to find her daughter. She's emotional, scared, holding it together, but barely. She's raw and real.
