The BBC has published the official synopsis for the sixth episode of Doctor Who‘s new series, titled ‘The Caretaker’.

The synopsis reads: “The terrifying Skovox Blitzer is ready to destroy all humanity – but worse, and any second now, Danny Pink and the Doctor are going to meet. When terrifying events threaten Coal Hill school, the Doctor decides to go undercover.”

Written by Gareth Roberts and Steven Moffat, the episode airs on Saturday 27 September on BBC One and is described by Moffat as “an absolute hoot of an episode with some surprisingly serious bits in it”.

Roberts previously penned ‘The Lodger’ and ‘Closing Time’ for Matt Smith’s Doctor, featuring James Corden as Craig.

He also wrote ‘The Shakespeare Code’ and ‘The Unicorn and the Wasp’ for David Tennant’s Doctor, as well as many episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures and Wizards vs Aliens.

Series 8 continues this weekend on BBC One with ‘Listen’.
