In the episode, the Fifteenth Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and his companion, Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson), seek help from UNIT, a team that handles alien threats on Earth, in determining the identity of the mysterious woman who has appeared in many of their adventures, as well as the identity of Ruby's mother. The episode also reintroduces the villain Sutekh, following his only previous television appearance in the 1975 serial Pyramids of Mars. It was filmed in July 2023 along with the following episode. And was watched by 3.79 million viewers.

Plot

The Doctor arrives at the headquarters of UNIT and meets with Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and other members. UNIT identifies the mysterious woman who has appeared in the Doctor's previous adventures as Susan Triad, the head of S Triad Technology. The group realises "S Triad" is an anagram of "TARDIS", and believe it to be a trap. The Doctor additionally believes that Triad may be his granddaughter Susan Foreman. Ruby leaves with Rose Noble, who is the daughter of former companion Donna Noble and is now working for UNIT. They retrieve a VHS tape containing security footage from the night Ruby was abandoned. The Doctor and Ruby hope to identify Ruby's biological mother using UNIT's technology, after he was previously unable to see her face when he visited the night she was abandoned.

Development

The episode was written by Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies. Davies said he first got a rough idea for the episode 40 to 50 years earlier. Davies gave a list of five previous stories that he suggested viewers watch before the episode released. The episode draws together many loose threads and previous story arcs. Some of these storylines also continued to explore plot threads surrounding the Timeless Child, which previous showrunner Chris Chibnall introduced during his era. Davies originally intended the episode to begin with a cold open at an American coffee bar in 1947. The episode had a working title of "Chrysalis".

The story re-introduces Sutekh to Doctor Who after his only previous televised appearance in the 1975 serial Pyramids of Mars, where he battled against the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker). Sutekh is based on the Egyptian deity Set, which accords with Davies's goal of bringing more gods to the programme. He was also revealed to be "the one who waits", mentioned to the Doctor by the Toymaker in "The Giggle" (2023), and the leader of the Gods of Chaos, another member of which was encountered in "The Devil's Chord" (2024). It is the first episode in a two-part story, concluding in the following week's episode, "". The two episodes were bridged by an episode of Tales of the TARDIS, presenting Pyramids of Mars with updated special effects.

Filming

"The Legend of Ruby Sunday" was directed by Jamie Donoughue, who compared the two-part finale to a feature film. It was produced in the series's fifth production block, along with the following episode, from 5 June to 14 July 2023. To create the scene of the TARDIS crashing into the UNIT headquarters, a tennis ball was rolled down the aisle on the set to allow for interaction with the performers. The TARDIS was later added using visual effects.

Hoping to create a more realistic look in the time window scene, the production team opted not to use a green screen. Instead, a team returned to St Mary's Church in Nash, Newport, which was previously used as a location in "The Church on Ruby Road" (2023). Once there, they used lidar scanning to create a three-dimensional model of the church. After applying effects to the model in Unreal Engine, it was projected onto screens, erected on the Time Window set on Stage 6 at Wolf Studios Wales, and camera tracked.
