Revolution of the Daleks was the 2021 New Year Special of Doctor Who. It featured the return of Jack Harkness, and marked the Thirteenth Doctor's reunion with her companions, following the events of The Timeless Children.
Continuing the Recon Dalek storyline begun in Resolution, a new line of Daleks were introduced, cloned from a remnant of the original recon scout.
The episode is also the final regular appearance of Bradley Walsh and Tosin Cole.
Synopsis
As the Thirteenth Doctor marks her days in prison, elsewhere in the universe the Daleks are presented on national television. They are the new Defence Drones, designed to protect the British public.
Left behind on Earth, Graham, Ryan and Yaz need their friend more than ever. Now with Daleks on the assembly line, and a familiar face behind their production... What would the Doctor do?
