'Doctor Who': David Tennant and Catherine Tate to Return for 60th Anniversary

The Doctor Who sixtieth anniversary is shaping up to be an unforgettable experience, as the BBC has announced that David Tennant and Catherine Tate are set to return to their roles as the Doctor and Donna Noble for an episode that is set to air in 2023. This news comes one week after the exciting announcement that the Fourteenth Doctor will be played by Sex Education actor Ncuti Gatwa. Adding to the excitement, it was announced last year that veteran Doctor Who showrunner Russell T.

In the press release shared by the BBC, Davies shared in the excitement about the return of Ten and Donna saying, “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.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY While Ten and Rose may be a fan-favorite romantic couple in the series, the DoctorDonna was undoubtedly one of the most dynamic duos that the series has ever created. Mostly because David Tennant and Catherine Tate have fantastic comedic timing together, which is evident in their extremely quotable Comic Relief sketch from 2007 and their time on the stage as Benedick and Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing in 2011.

It looks like we're going to have to wait until 2023 to discover how the Doctor and Donna will end up crossing paths with Fourteen, but BBC did confirm that the episode is currently being filmed. Perhaps someone will share a picture in the near future that will give us a clue as to what we can expect from their return! The possibilities are endless.
