The synopsis for Episode 3 of the new series, The Curse of the Black Spot, has been revealed on the BBC Press Office today.

The episode – written by Steve Thompson – will air on Saturday 7th May on BBC One/BBC One HD, although the exact time of its transmission is still to be confirmed.

It guest stars Hugh Bonneville as Captain Avery and Lily Cole as the Siren, a mysterious and beautiful sea creature.

The TARDIS is marooned onboard a 17th-century pirate ship whose crew is being attacked by a mysterious and beautiful sea creature.

Becalmed and beset by cabin fever, the pirates have numerous superstitious explanations for the Siren’s appearance. The Doctor has other ideas but, as his theories are disproved and every plan of escape is thwarted, he must work to win the trust of the implacable Captain Avery and uncover the truth behind the pirates’ supernatural fears – and he must work quickly, for some of his friends have already fallen under the Siren’s spell…

The Impossible Astronaut airs on Saturday 23rd April at 6pm on BBC One/BBC One HD.

    Oh, can’t you so imagine Rory falling under the Siren’s spell, Amy getting annoyed – “Oi! That’s my husband!” – and grabbing a sword?
