The Doctor Who episode, “Lucky Day” which airs on BBC1 on Saturday 3 May 2025 at 7.10pm, features Jemma in her recurring role as Kate Lethbridge-Stewart. The synopsis reads:
Ruby Sunday faces life back on earth without the Doctor. But when a dangerous new threat emerges, can Ruby and UNIT save her new boyfriend, Conrad, from the terrifying Shreek?

Episode 4 – Lucky Day – is the one of interest. It is a Doctor-lite episode featuring Ruby Sunday, UNIT and, of course, Kate Stewart. This is a Doctor-lite episode for a reason – throughout the series, the Doctor is trying to get new companion, Belinda, home. According to Russell T Davies in “Doctor Who Magazine”:
“Of course it means keeping the TARDIS away from modern-day Earth. Normally, I think you should keep revisiting the present day – it’s essential. So it’s been a real challenge to avoid it for an entire series.”
Episode 4 with this little title teaser is confirmed as the UNIT episode:
Barring delays, Jemma’s episode should air on 3 May 2025.
Thanks once again to Abby from kat-mcnamara.net for two of the videos below and thanks also to Purple Nurple Reviews for the other. All are from the Doctor Who Panel at MegaCon London on 26 January 2025 – from different viewpoints!
As you can see, there has been a bit of a change to the site. We have moved from free hosting – which entailed lots of adverts (the web host has to recoup their costs somehow!) to paid hosting – so no ads! Thankfully, we are with the same host – flaunt.nu who have been very supportive during this process.
Hopefully, this will make the site much easier for you to navigate!
As ever, I am happy to chat so if you have any questions or queries, suggestions as to what to improve or what you would like to see then please drop me an email sandra@jemma-redgrave.net or message me on X (formerly Twitter).
