Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi has revealed when the show’s new season will begin.

Season 10 began filming in Cardiff in June, with Pearl Mackie and Matt Lucas joining the TARDIS as Bill and Nardole.

Here’s everything we know so far about Season 10.

Chatting to fans this week while filming Episode 3, written by Sarah Dollard (‘Face the Raven’), Capaldi was asked: “When does the new series start?”

The actor responded: “We’re on at Christmas then it starts again in April.”

The BBC had previously only confirmed a vague “spring 2017” air date.

Could Doctor Who be returning to its traditional Easter launch slot? If so, we can expect Season 10 to begin on Saturday 15 April 2017.

Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat recently discussed the reason for his decision to bring back Matt Lucas as Nardole, following his appearance in ‘The Husbands of River Song’ last Christmas.
