Doctor Who's Time Lord will be cloned by aliens in a dramatic episode of the sci-fi drama next year.
An army of monsters from outer space will make a carbon copy of the
handsome doctor - who is played by Matt Smith - as they invade Earth.
However, the Time Lord will only discover the clone when he comes face
to face with himself as he investigates the alien invasion, and tries
to foil the extra-terrestrial beings' plans to take over the world.
His companions Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill) also become
confused when they can't work out which is the real doctor and which is
his double, and who they should be taking instructions from.
The hit BBC One series returns in the spring after its special
Christmas Day (25.12.10) episode, which will be based on 'A Christmas
Carol' with an alien twist.
With show boss Steven Moffat claiming the festive special is the "most
exciting" episode he's ever written, the one-off show will pay homage
to Charles Dickens' famous 1843 story about Ebenezer Scrooge and the
ghosts of Christmases past, present and future.
