What is BBC's The Power of the Doctor about?

The trailer shows the Doctor fighting for her own existence, with adversaries in The Master, the Daleks and the Cybermen all set to show up.

The episode follows a bullet train that comes under attack on a distant world as seismologists disappear on present-day Earth, and the court of the Russian Tsar in 1916 falls under a malign influence.

These strange occurrences draw the Doctor against some of her most formidable foes she's fought over the years including the Daleks, the Cybermen and the Master.

However, she will also be reunited with guest stars Sophie Aldred and Janet Fielding who are reprising their roles as 1980s companions Ace and Tegan.
