Doctor Who - Series 6 news round-up

Press details for the first episode of Doctor Who following the summer break, 'Let's Kill Hitler', (such a great episode title) have been released courtesy of the Media Guardian Edinburgh International Festival.

The episode will be screened at the annual gathering of senior figures from within the Television industry on Friday 26th August.

Synopsis: In the desperate search for Melody Pond, the TARDIS crash lands in 1930s Berlin, bringing the Doctor face to face with the greatest war criminal in the Universe. And Hitler. The Doctor must teach his adversaries that time travel has responsibilities - and in so doing, learns a harsh lesson in the cruellest warfare of all.
