'Doctor Who' New Year's Special Recap: "Revolution Of The Daleks"
It's been ten months since the end of Doctor Who Season 12, both on-screen and off. But first, the New Year's Day special leaps back in time to a different Dalek-centric New Year's Day episode from 2019. The Doctor and her fam have just defeated the reconnaissance Dalek in "Resolution."
Six hours ago, to be precise. They've left, but the promised GCHQ cleanup doesn't go as planned: The truck driver is waylaid, poisoned, and the remains of the Dalek stolen.
Jack Robinson: "This is a PR disaster."
It's a neat conceit: What happens to the remains of the battles the Doctor leaves? In this case, it's the Doctor's irritating nemesis, Jack Robinson (Chris Noth) who ordered the burnt-out casing hijacked, handing it off to one of his newly bought AI subsidiaries, run by Leo Rugazzi (Nathan Stewart-Jarret) to rebuild. But Robinson was tipped off to it by the newly-appointed Technology secretary, Jo Patterson (Harriet Walter), who sees an opportunity to get herself to Number 10.
