The BBC Press Office has released details for the eighth episode of the new series, The Hungry Earth.

The Chris Chibnall story is scheduled for Saturday 22nd May. It stars Meera Syal, Robert Pugh and Samuel Davies.

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, 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.
