In "Doctor Who" season 9 episode 2 titled "The Witch's Familiar," the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) is alone and trapped and alone in a scary Dalek city. Having neither sonic nor the sentient time-travelling space ship TARDIS, he has no one to ask help from while at the heart of an evil Empire.
A mysterious alien force froze the skies of Earth in the "Doctor Who" season 9 premiere so Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) needed the Doctor, her friend. What viewers need to see in "Doctor Who" season 9 episode 2 titled "The Witch's Familiar" is whether or not there will be mercy. They should also see whether or not the Doctor can resist his greatest temptation before him.
Featuring the voice of Nicholas Briggs with Nicholas Pegg and Barnaby Edwards as Daleks, "Doctor Who" season 9 episode 2 titled "The Witch's Familiar" also stars Julian Bleach as Davros, Michelle Gomez as Missy, Jaye Griffiths as Jac, Clare Higgins as Ohila, Jemma Redgrave as Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and Kelly Hunter as Shadow Architect, among others.
Directed by Hettie Macdonald and written by Steven Moffat, "Doctor Who" season 9 episode 2 titled "The Witch's Familiar" airs on BBC on Sept. 26, Saturday.
Recently, it is rumored that "Doctor Who" season 9 will be Capaldi and Coleman's last season. At the Radio Times Festival "Doctor Who" panel, Radio Times quoted Capaldi as saying to Moffat, "So we can officially say, Steven, that Peter will be The Doctor in series 10? That depends how series nine ends, doesn't it? Anything could happen."
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Coleman said she is hoping her "Doctor Who" character Clara Oswald's exit will be a surprise.
