Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker will be making her final appearance as Time Lord.
She has directed the show since 2017 and will wrap up her time on the sci-fi series on October 23 with a full-length anniversary special.
In an episode titled The Power Of The Doctor, Whittaker will take on some of her deadliest enemies – including The Master, Daleks and Cybermen.
The actress announced she was leaving the show in July last year.
The episode will mark the first time since 2005 that all three of the Doctor’s main enemies appear in a single storyline.
Fans will see her trying to figure out who is attacking a bullet train in a distant galaxy and why 21st century seismologists are disappearing from Earth.
A trailer released earlier this year revealed that two companions from previous eras will make an appearance.

Janet Fielding will reprise her role as Tegan Jovanka – companion to the Fourth and Fifth Doctors.
Sophie Aldred, who starred as Ace, companion of the seventh Time Lord, will also be making a comeback.
The BBC’s 100th anniversary special will also feature Mandip Gill, Sacha Dhawan and comedian John Bishop.
Sex education actor Ncuti Gatwa will succeed Whittaker and become the science fiction series’ 14th Doctor.
He will be the fourth Scot to take on the role, after Sylvester McCoy, David Tennant and Peter Capaldi.
The 29-year-old, who was born in Rwanda, will also become the first black man to direct the series.
In May this year, Gatwa told the BBC: “It feels really great. It’s a real honor. This role is institutional and so iconic.”
A series of special episodes celebrating Doctor Who’s 60th birthday will take place later this year.
David Tennant, the tenth Time Lord, will return to this show alongside Catherine Tate.
