Episode 1, The Star Beast, saw David Tennant return as the Doctor, only with this being the 14th Doctor rather than Tennant's usual 10th. Also back is Catherine Tate's Donna Noble, who's joined by husband Shaun and daughter Rose.
The conclusion of that first episode saw Donna's memories restored, the meta-crisis energy shared with Rose, and Donna and the Doctor embark on one final TARDIS adventure.
So, what can we expect from episode 2, Wild Blue Yonder? It's been kept under wraps but we do know that 'Fourteen' and his sidekick end up in space and that according to showrunner Russell T Davies, it will be "scary" stuff.
The Doctor Who Special episode 2 comes just as we await the arrival of Ncuti Gatwa's 15th Doctor in the final part of this anniversary offering. Below, we look at all the ways to watch Doctor Who Wild Blue Yonder online and potentially for free.
