The title for the opening episode of Doctor Who‘s new season has been officially revealed, along with a brand new promotional image.
Introducing Pearl Mackie as new companion Bill Potts, Season 10’s opener is titled ‘The Pilot’.
The episode was originally believed to be titled ‘A Star in Her Eye’, but eagle-eyed fans spotted the titles for the first five episodes of the new season hidden in the recent teaser trailer.
Steven Moffat hinted last year that “I want it to feel like Episode 1 of a brand new show” – in effect, a pilot episode.
‘The Pilot’ airs on Saturday 15 April on BBC One.
