Written by Steven Moffat, ‘Death in Heaven’ will air from 8pm until 9pm on Saturday 8 November on BBC One.

The synopsis reads: “With Cybermen on the streets of London, old friends unite against old enemies and the Doctor takes to the air in a startling new role. Can the mighty UNIT contain Missy? As the Doctor faces his greatest challenge, sacrifices must be made before the day is won.”
