The BBC has released the official story details for the fifth episode of Doctor Who‘s new season, which features Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams in a guest role.
Written by Jamie Mathieson (‘Flatline’) with showrunner Steven
Moffat, ‘The Girl Who Died’ will air on Saturday 17 October on BBC One.
The synopsis reads: “Captured by Vikings, the Doctor and Clara must
help protect their village from Space Warriors from the future: the
Mire. Outnumbered and outgunned, their fate seems inevitable. So why is
the Doctor preoccupied with a single Viking girl?”
Moffat:
“In a backwater of history, in a little Viking village where all the
warriors have just been slaughtered, a young girl called Ashildr is
about to make a desperate mistake. The Mire are the deadliest
mercenaries in the galaxy, famed for being unstoppable and without mercy
– and Ashildr has just declared war on them. The Doctor and Clara have
twelve hours, to turn a handful of farmers and blacksmiths into a
fighting force ready to face down Odin himself. And there’s more –
because this is the day when the Doctor remembers where he’s seen his
own face before.”
