Doctor Who shares '60s character costumes for the Beatles episode
Doctor Who has released new images of Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson's costumes for the upcoming '60s episode starring The Beatles.
Last year, it was confirmed that the Doctor and his companion Ruby Sunday would encounter the Fab Four during season 14, with the pair going on an adventure with John, Paul, George and Ringo after meeting them at the iconic Abbey Road studios in 1963.
Newly released promotional photos show the Doctor and Ruby dancing in groovy, '60s inspired outfits in front of an orange and a green swirly background.

The images of the Doctor and Ruby are in black-and-white, while the bright backgrounds reflect the cultural revolution of the Swinging Sixties that was taking place during the time period.
Previously released photos of the actors' costumes show Gatwa sporting an afro and electric blue pinstripe suit, while Gibson is wearing a black-and-white ensemble with matching lace-up boots.
Showrunner Russell T Davies has also teased the storyline for the upcoming episode, revealing there will be a "great big battle".
"This is Abbey Road in 1963. It's very unbuilt at the moment," he told Digital Spy and other media during a preview of storylines lined up for the new series.
"This is going to be Studio 1 at Abbey Road – the big studio, the big orchestral studio."
He continued: "It has to be said, there's a great big battle in here to save the universe, with people being flung all over the place and a moving piano."
