It was a veritable Christmas in July when Nicola Coughlan appeared at San Diego Comic-Con’s vast Hall H, remotely, to tee up a sneak peek at Doctor Who ‘s next holiday special.
In Joy to the World , as this year’s special is titled, the Bridgerton star plays the titular Joy, “a determined woman whose life is forever changed when she meets the Doctor,” Coughlan previewed.
Little else is known about Joy to the World , though the sneak peek above offers glimpses of 1940 Manchester… 1962 Italy (via The Orient Express)… 1953 Mount Everest… and then modern-day London, where Coughlan’s character is first spied.
“Nicola is wonderful in it, she will break your heart,” former Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat, who penned Joy to the World , recently shared.

The “new” Doctor Wh o’s first holiday special, titled The Church on Ruby Road , marked franchise front man Ncuti Gatwa’s first full outing as Fifteen. It also introduced Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday, a young woman who as a newborn was abandoned on a church doorstep on Christmas Eve 2004. “Season 1” proceeded to unravel the mystery of that strange night (and who/what all was witness to it), as well as eventually disclose Ruby’s parentage.
