The second half of Doctor Who’s current series continues next weekend with ‘Night Terrors’, as the Doctor receives a distress call from the scariest place in the Universe: a child’s bedroom.
Every night George lies awake, terrorised by every fear you can possibly imagine – fears that live in his bedroom cupboard. His parents are getting desperate – George needs a doctor. Fortunately for George, his desperate pleas for help break through the barriers of all time and space and the Doctor makes a house call. But allaying his fears won’t be easy; because George’s monsters are real.
