We've long suspected it, but now we have confirmation: the Doctor, AKA Peter Capaldi, will be appearing in Doctor Who spin-off Class when it airs on BBC3.
The Doctor will appear in the first episode of the new sci-fi series, For Tonight We Might Die, when the series begins on Saturday 22 October.
The series air date was confirmed as the cast gathered for a live Facebook video teasing the new series. Two episodes will drop on the first day – the second episode is called The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo.
“The Doctor Who family is growing, and it’s fantastic to be able to welcome the young new cast of Class in to the Whoniverse," said Peter Capaldi.
