The Ghost Monument (TV story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The Ghost Monument was the second episode of series 11 of Doctor Who. It was written by Chris Chibnall and directed by Mark Tonderai.
This episode marked the debut of the new title sequence due to it being left out of the preceeding episode, making this the first time this has been done.
Narratively, it continued exploring the warrior race Stenza which appeared in the previous episode.
Synopsis
