In tonight's all-new episode of Doctor Who, "Oxygen," the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) takes Bill (Pearl Mackie) and Nardole (Matt Lucas) to a space station after receiving a distress call from Chasm Forge, where the space suits have killed all but four of the crew. Here oxygen is a commodity and at a premium, and the only way they can get it is from the suits. In addition, thirty-six deadly corpses are walking around the station! The trio must fight to save what's left of the crew and escape back to the Tardis, all with less than three thousand breaths.
