According to a BBC one listing for the programme, the first Doctor Who Season Two episode The Robot Revolution will air on BBC One Saturday 12 April at 6:50pm.

Written by Russell T Davies and Directed by Peter Hoar, The Robot Revolution is listed as 46 minutes in length.

Under a starlit sky, two teenage sweethearts share a moment. Alan Daniel Budd (Jonny Green) presents Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) with a certificate stating that he named a star in her honour: Miss Belinda Chandra.

Seventeen years later, Belinda is working the night shift as a nurse at London’s Able Free Hospital.

After her shift in the very early morning, Robots (voiced by Nicolas Briggs) smash their way into her London home. They’re from the planet Missbelindachandra One – and they want their queen back.

Belinda is taken away in the Robot’s rocket.

The robots are waging war against the human Missbelindachandrakind. The Missbelindachandrabots serve a single master: the A.I. Generator, a being of immense (processing) power and zero patience. Dare to disagree, and you’re fried to a crisp. It gets worse. The A.I. Generator wants to marry Belinda! Can the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) rescue Her Majesty Queen Belinda and quash the robot revolution?
