The Doctor and Ruby Sunday meet legendary British musicians, The Beatles and Cilla Black, during a trip back to the 1960s, but discover that the "all-powerful" Maestro is hatching a plot to change history, with the Fab Four and Swinging Cyril, in the thick of it.

Abbey Road becomes a battleground with the future of humanity at stake.

The most star-studded episode of Series 14 to date including Jerick Hoffer who provides his RuPaul's Drag Race-winning, and “internationally tolerated”, icon Jinkx Monsoon to portray the formidable Maestro to give series protagonists The Doctor & Ruby some problems.  Can she take the fan favourites down before the course of history alters, morphing the future as we know it, forever?

Oh, and a couple of people from the popular Strictly Come Dancing make an appearance who regular viewers of BBC One on Saturday night might recognise.
