Doctor Who: The Rebel Flesh

The sixth series of Doctor Who continues in the UK, USA and Canada tonight, with the fifth episode, "The Rebel Flesh" by Matthew Graham.

BBC synopsis
A solar tsunami sends the TARDIS hurtling towards a futuristic factory on Earth, where human doppelgangers are used to mine dangerous acid, as the time-travelling adventures continue.

A second wave hits and the "Gangers" separate. They can remember every second of their "original's" life and feel every emotion they've ever experienced. But are these memories stolen or have they been bequeathed? Are the Gangers merely faulty machinery that must be shut down or are they living, breathing, sentient beings? Can the Doctor convince the terrified humans to accept these "almost people" and prevent an all-out civil war before the factory explodes?

The Doctor is played by Matt Smith, Amy by Karen Gillan and Rory by Arthur Darvill.

Doctor Who: The Rebel Flesh will air on BBC One/HD in the UK at 6.45pm; BBC America will broadcast the episode in the USA at 9.00pm and SPACE will air the episode in Canada at 8.00pm.

Doctor Who Confidential will have behind-the-scenes coverage of the episode at 7.30pm on BBC Three.
