The BBC has released – at last – the synopsis for Doctor Who Series 9 premier episode The Magician’s Apprentice.

But you don’t want to read that, do you?

Oh, you do? Okay, carry on…

Where is the Doctor? When the skies of Earth are frozen by a mysterious alien force, Clara needs her friend. But where is the Doctor, and what is he hiding from?

As past deeds come back to haunt him, old enemies will come face-to-face, and for the Doctor and Clara survival seems impossible.

Written by Steven Moffat and directed by Hettie Macdonald, the episode airs on September 19th on BBC One and BBC America, the latter scheduled for 9/8c.

Starring Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman, the guest cast has an epic quality, with Michelle Gomez, Jemma Redgrave, Kelly Hunter, Clare Higgins, Jaye Griffiths, Harki Bhambra, Daniel Hoffmann-Gill, Joey Price, Aaron Neil, India Ria Amarteifio, Dasharn Anderson, Demi Papaminas, Jami Reid-Quarrell, Benjamin Cawley, Stefan Adegbola, Shin-Fei Chen, Lucy Newman-Williams, Barnaby Edwards, Nicholas Pegg, Jonathon Ojinnaka all appearing. There may be a few clues as to what you can expect in that list.

We can’t wait, and not should you be able to.

But in our timey-wimey free world, however, we’ll have to.
