Huge news for Doctor Who fans here, as one of the most popular actors to play the iconic Time Lord, David Tennant, is set to reprise his role for the British sci-fi show's upcoming 60th Anniversary Special - and he won't be alone!
The BBC has announced that Tennant and Catherine Tate, who played his loyal companion Donna Noble, will return for the currently shooting special, which will air at some point next year. This comes on the heels of the news that current Doctor Jodie Whittaker will be replaced by Ncuti Gatwa in an upcoming episode.
“They're back! And it looks impossible - first, we announce a new Doctor, and then an old Doctor, along with the wonderful Donna, what on earth is happening? Maybe this is a missing story. Or a parallel world. Or a dream, or a trick, or a flashback. The only thing I can confirm is that it’s going to be spectacular, as two of our greatest stars reunite for the battle of a lifetime," showrunner Russell T Davies said in a statement.
Davies is returning to take charge of Doctor Who for its 60th anniversary in 2023. Whittaker's sendoff is set to begin in "Legend of the Sea Devils," on April 17, which will be followed by two more specials (no release dates have been announced)
