Doctor Who heads for the Big Apple
Doctor Who is to battle it out with the Daleks in a special two-part story set in Thirties New York.
Episodes four and five of the forthcoming third series of the Bafta award-winning drama will see the Doctor, played by David Tennant, alongside his new companion Freema Agyeman, in the role of medical student Martha Jones.
For the special episode the duo will be joined by Desperate Housewives actor Ryan Carnes, Miranda Raison, star of spy-drama Spooks, and Holby City favourite Hugh Quarshie.
Russell T Davies, lead writer and executive producer, said: "Every time the Daleks return we make them bigger and better than ever before, and this time, their plan is the most audacious Dalek scheme yet!
"Even the Doctor finds himself out of his depth ... "
The story is written by Helen Raynor and directed by James Strong, who also directed episodes eight and nine of series two.
