ABOUT DOCTOR WHO

The truth about River Song is out and the time has come for the Doctor to face his greatest demons. Venturing across centuries and galaxies, the Doctor, Amy and Rory will encounter the greatest war criminal in all of history-and Hitler. Together, they'll discover there's no scarier place in the universe than a child's bedroom and a visit to an alien quarantine facility will reveal to Rory a very different side to his wife. In a hotel where walls move, corridors twist and rooms vanish, death lies waiting. But the Doctor's time has yet to come. He has one last stop to make on his final journey-an old friend needs his help and an old foe must be defeated. But time catches up with us all and the Doctor can delay no more.

Doctor Who is the continuing saga of a mysterious time traveler who picks up human companions and faces evil foes with little more than his wits and a sonic screwdriver while he journeys throughout time and space in the TARDIS-a unique craft disguised as a police call box. As the famed Whovian Craig Ferguson once said, it's about "the triumph of intellect and romance over brute force and cynicism."
