The first two episodes of Doctor Who season 14 have already arrived with their own stories.

The first episode, titled Space Babies, presented a spaceship run by talking babies who explained their position and how the last of the original crew members, Jocelyn, stayed back to care for the babies.

The Doctor and Ruby also discovered Bogeyman, a monster grown from baby mucus. The 15th Doctor and Ruby provided safe passage to the babies, Jocelyn and Bogeyman to their new abode. Then the Doctor proceeded to scan Ruby's DNA.

The next episode, The Devil's Chord, finds the Doctor and Ruby in 1963 at the Beatles recording studio. They discovered that Maestro, a music-eating devil, had been consuming music leaving the world music-less. Escaping the Maestro, when the duo returned to present-day TARDIS, Maestro followed them and took control of TARDIS.

The Doctor and Ruby were forced to flee back to the 1963's studio where John Lennon and Paul McCartney helped them trap the Maestro. With the return of music, the lead duo were free to go back to their home.
