Here’s the BBC’s official description for “The Hungry Earth,” the new episode of Doctor Who premiering May 22 on BBC One and two weeks later on BBC America in the United States:
It’s 2015 and the most ambitious drilling project in history has reached deeper beneath the Earth’s crust than man has ever gone before – but now the ground itself is fighting back.
In the latest episode of the time-travelling drama, written by Chris Chibnall, the Doctor, Amy and Rory arrive in a tiny mining village and find themselves plunged into a battle against a deadly danger from a bygone age.
The Doctor is played by Matt Smith and Amy Pond by Karen Gillan.
