The BBC Press Office issued Programme Information (link) for 17-23 June on Friday, with an interview with guest starMarc Warren leading the promotion for episode 10, Love & Monsters, to be aired on 17 June. The actor, who plays Elton Pope in Love & Monsters, notes that "Elton is looking for the Doctor, who he last saw when he was four years old when his mother died, and has been searching for him ever since. He meets a group of people who get together every week to talk about their sightings of the Doctor with an aim of trying to find him, and they become great friends." Warren says that he was "gobsmacked" when he first read the script - "it was all this Elton kid... I couldn't really believe it. It must be quite unusual for Doctor Who to have a [guest] part that's so central - but it definitely worked out well for me." Also released by the Press Office is the Programme Copy for the episode (link) which is reproduced below.
