Yahoo News Watch preview of new Doctor Who episode 'Kerblam!'
Graham, Ryan and Yaz get a lesson in robot rights in a brand-new clip from this weekend's Doctor Who.
The teaser from 'Kerblam!' debuted during Children in Need on Friday night (November 16), and offered a sneak peek of the TARDIS crew arriving on the shopping planet of Kandoka. It starts off with a cheeky nod to one of Thirteen's predecessors!
Once on the planet, The Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) figures out that all isn't as it seems at one of the mega-stores and decides to take her friends undercover… after encouraging them not to be "robophobic" to the staff.
Here's an extended version of the exclusive clip from tonight's #ChildrenInNeed. If you would like to donate please click here https://t.co/f4GlIfQN0L and don’t forget ‘Kerblam!’ will be on @BBCOne this Sunday at 6.30pm! #DoctorWho #CiN pic.twitter.com/FJBrO1wTOT

The clip also introduces former Coronation Street star Julie Hesmondhalgh as one of the store's administrators. When Digital Spy recently chatted with her, she promised that the episode is one for old-school fans.
"There's a little bit more going on than there seems to be, on the surface of it," she teased. "And the world that it inhabits references a world that we have here, now, but in quite a clever, oblique way, I think.
"So I think it's a really clever episode, but actually great fun. In lots of ways, I feel like it's maybe one of the most traditionally Doctor Who episodes of this series so far. It might be a little bit more for the purists."
