Doctor Who's iconic Tardis materializes in London with a surprising new style, as the Doctor's time-traveling vessel receives a Barbie-inspired pink makeover to celebrate the upcoming movie's release. Inspired by Mattel's toy line, Barbie is directed by Greta Gerwig, and sees Margot Robbie's doll leave the safety of her home behind to see what life is like in the real world, and is set to release on July 21. 2023 will also see Doctor Who celebrate its 60th anniversary in November, with three special episodes set to air across the month to mark the milestone.

The film follows mob boss ‘Shrewd’ Eddie (Freeman), a Southend-on-Sea gangster who is used to getting whatever he wants; he runs the town,...
