Doctor Who’s 12th doctor will be revealed in a special live programme on Sunday, the BBC has announced.

The show, presented by Zoe Ball, will feature an interview with the new lead, as well as 11th Doctor Matt Smith and executive producer Steven Moffat.

“The decision is made and the time has come to reveal who’s taking over the Tardis,” Steven Moffat said.

“For the last of the Time Lords, the clock is striking twelve.”

Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor is on BBC One at 7 p.m. on August 4.

According to the official announcement, Zoe Ball “will unveil the 12th Doctor in the first ever interview in front of a live studio audience set against the backdrop of a swirling vortex, amongst Daleks and the Tardis”.
